A local chocolatier needed to transform her crowded,
outdated kitchen and bring it up to modern times with new appliances and more
space without over pricing the neighborhood or losing the charm of the original
house. The formal living space was a
room rarely used so it was transformed into the formal dining allowing the
existing formal dining space to be integrated into the kitchen to expand the
usable space and give the home a more casual feel. By incorporating high end appliances, concrete
countertops and reusing a large piece of white marble from the original kitchen
(seen in the island) the kitchen was given a fresh, updated feel and created
the ideal work space for our chocolatier.
With the use of white subway tiles and white shaker style cabinets we
created a fresh, transitional feel to modernize the kitchen without stepping
too far out of the traditional style home. The island was painted a different color to contrast with the rest of
the cabinetry therefore making the entire island an accent piece and a stunning
focal point. The end result is an open,
spectacular kitchen and a very happy chocolatier.
