Inspired by a love of entertaining and the amazing view of the ocean , this kitchen was designed for a semi-retired couple who had spent the past seven years in search of the perfect home in their ideal neighborhood ! They wanted a fresh look for this kitchen that reflected their love for the outdoors . It was important that the kitchen wasn ’ t white , offered plenty of storage solutions and functioned well both for the two of them and as a space for entertaining .
Inspired by the view , a beautiful gray-blue color was selected for the cabinets . The color adds a sense of calm to the space while still allowing the space to feel bright ! Natural materials like stunning leatherized quartzite countertops and white oak accents bring in that earthy feel as well . The stunning counters were certainly a splurge but they make a huge impact and are definitely worth it . The homeowners were originally thinking of going with marble , but quartzite is a stronger material , which was better in the long run .
