This beautifully spacious kitchen was created by first removing an enclosed pantry closet where the microwave area is currently. We then carefully designed work spaces that function for this family who entertains often. The base cabinets are comprised of flat panel Walnut with a bourbon stain and the wall cabinets have white painted Shaker doors. Using light or white wall cabinets enhances the open space plan while dramatizing the darker base cabinets and the appliances. Using the Walnut cabinets on the wall where the range is highlights this area and gives the room depth and gravity. White Caesarstone Blizzard counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and white backsplash were used to enhance overall contrast. Light brown subway tile complements this open floor plan.
