Inspired by natural light , this kitchen was reconfigured from an inefficient L-shape to an open-concept galley-style kitchen that seamlessly flows into the rest of the home . For a timeless design , this kitchen perfectly combines traditional charm with contemporary enrichments , such as a modern take on shaker-style cabinets that play off the thickness of the natural stone countertops and backsplash . Open shelving under the feature window and a textured plaster hood fan bring depth and warmth within the small space . For a clean and timeless look , the fridge and dishwasher are integrated , and the cabinetry utilizes touch-latches to keep the eye on intentional details . The only visible hardware comes from a pop of polished nickel on the tall storage . Mixing metals is the key to creating a curated space , such as the unlacquered live finish on the faucet which accumulates patina over time .

A recently retired couple desired to transform their house into their dream home . The goal was to create an open concept kitchen that would allow them to host large family gatherings . To achieve this , a wall was removed , allowing for more space and easier movement during events . The homeowners chose a white and gray color combination with gold handles for a rich , luxe look . Gold accents throughout the space help to tie everything together for this perfect kitchen ! - Built by Heavy Duty Homes Inc , www . heavydutyhomes . com ; Designed by SKL Designs , www . designbysk . com

Located in the heart of Shaughnessy , the goal was to transform this heritage single-family home into a triplex , with three units in the main structure . We wanted this transformation to incorporate thoughtful and innovative space planning , but keep the traditional heritage feel of the original building . The kitchen boasts clever storage , stainless steel fixtures , honey bronze hardware and Caesarstone countertops , embracing durability and maximizing efficiency . We played with sleek contrasts , where warm whites were combined with dark hardwood throughout , creating a space that feels modern , sophisticated , and timeless .
