Connecting with the trees and sky
The kitchen was updated with a new layout, new cabinets and appliances, with the goal of bringing more lightness to the space. Some of the exterior porches were removed to increase the connection with the trees and the sky beyond the great room. After living in the house for awhile, the owners knew they could eliminate some of the porches that were used less frequently.
Interior Design
The interiors have a mixture of new and old pieces. Some of the existing furniture was repurposed, reupholstered or refinished. There are three distinctive areas within the great room. There is a space for morning coffee and bird watching, an area with a table for cards or intimate meals and one for socializing by the fireplace.
Contemporary and Custom
These spaces are uniquely built for the homeowners. The kitchen has custom cabinetry made of structured panels for a streamlined contemporary look. The cabinets are laid out in a way that makes them accessible, while maximizing their usefulness. Majority of the kitchen storage moves to the pantry. The pantry, though, is not an afterthought. It is designed to have space for baking, coffee and a bar. The dog has his spot too, the bench under the window is for him to watch who’s coming and going.
