Design Insight
This kitchen strikes a beautiful balance between warmth and refinement, while thoughtfully maintaining the home’s original floorplan. A two-toned cabinetry design pairs soft ‘Alabaster’ painted uppers with richly stained maple bases for depth and contrast. Polished quartz countertops bring a clean, elevated feel, extending up the wall into a subtle ledge before transitioning into a classic herringbone tile splash going up to the ceiling.
Favorite features: a charming bookcase end cap that keeps favorite family cookbooks within reach, and the glass-front cabinet for displaying a collection of barware. Favorite thing about working with us: “Daily communication and updates throughout the project,” says homeowner Jill. Designed for both everyday living and family gatherings, the new space is light and bright and as practical as it is beautiful.
