W
hen building a new home, deciding on its overall style can be one
of the hardest challenges. There are so many options and opinions
out there that it can be hard to sift through the noise and figure
out what fits your unique wants, needs, and likes. Inspiration can
strike anywhere. Sometimes it’s a small and subtle nudge, while other times, it hits
you in the face and you suddenly know exactly what you want! This house was an
example of the latter.

The owners of this new build saw a picture of a kitchen in a magazine and fell in
love with the style. Armed w ith the picture and their own blueprints, they met
with one of our designers and began the process of creating their personal space
based on their inspiration. This beautiful kitchen nestled in the New Brunswick
woods overlooking a lake is the result.
The kitchen features a custom glass corner cabinet (No. 7), which was made in a
contrasting cabinet style and stain colour to stand out from the rest of the kitchen.
Its glass sides and shelving allow the light from the windows to shine through
while still showing off valued collectibles.
With “mocha-stained” hickory cabinets, three different types of countertops
(No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4), a bar area, minimal upper cabinets, and a layout that
includes two islands, the space is modern, cozy, and bright. The design is unique,
functional, and enhances the beauty of the exterior lake view. From top to bottom,
this kitchen exudes modern style and is the perfect place to cook a cozy family
meal or entertain a party for dozens.
