Designed by Patty Whitman, this kitchen features an Inset custom
Gallery door style with a custom drawer finish Signature
Chestnut with Van Dyke Brown Glazing on knotty alder. The island
is finished in Signature Antique White with Van Dyke Brown
Glazing.
The choice of custom inset Gallery door style proved to be an
excellent choice to provide a more sophisticated furniture look
to the space. The knotty alder wood with the Chestnut stain and
Van Dyke Brown glazing provided a warm rich look. This helped to
bring the outside in to the house. To provide some contrast
lighten the space, the island areas were distressed knotty alder
with Antique White paint with Van Dyke Brown glazing. The island
and desktops are a rich distressed black walnut wood and the
perimeter has Brown Lapis granite tops, which provide the right
amount of sparkle to the space.
The main sink is a lovely copper farm sink with a great view of
the outdoors. The cook top on the island insures that the cook
can maintain conversations and enjoy the view as well. The back
wall became symmetrical wall of storage and refrigeration with
additional prep space for the cook.
Crystal built the mitered column surround in 2 pieces to get
around the support column. The false column was built completely
in the factory for ease of installation, as was the peninsula
cabinet.
