In this condo, the kitchen is open to the main living area. Lacquered cabinets are custom painted in Benjamin Moore Revere pewter to match the walls. The living area looks terrific from the kitchen, but we wanted to shield unsightly cooking messes from the living area. To that end, we designed an extra-high raised counter, useful for serving meals and for display. The whole space is quietly neutral, while trendy orange accents add warmth and interest.
