This kitchen and dining room is part of an expansive remodel to a traditional Colonial Revival two-story property, creating a bigger, more functional, and more beautiful home.
All existing rooms were updated with a contemporary aesthetic in mind, mixed with modern farmhouse accents. To satisfy the homeowners' desire to not have to sit at a typical
shaped island to eat, I designed a unique, blue, L-shaped island and banquette that opens to the family room — and a matching blue entertainment center! A set of accordion
doors also leads to an outdoor kitchen. Porcelain parquet wood flooring is incredible in this space, putting a sleek twist on a more traditional wood look. A complementary mosaic
marble backsplash adds visual interest against the white quartz countertops. Features like a full-height wine refrigerator, 54-inch refrigerator-freezer, built-in coffee machine,
microwave drawer, 48-inch range, and dishwasher with a farm sink — not to mention the walk-in pantry — really make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. We connected the
kitchen to its neighboring dining room, where gorgeous "chinoiserie chic" custom-printed magnolia branches on blue grasscloth wallpaper continues the color theme.
