Homeowners’ request. A warm and clean space with better storage solutions. Prior to the renovation, a peninsula perpendicular to the range wall divided the kitchen and eat-in area. Designer Stephanie Flemming removed the peninsula to create a more open plan, then added a 30 continuous feet of cabinets on the back wall, drastically increasing storage.
Cabinets. The lower cabinets are custom-stained rift-cut oak. The upper cabinets are painted in Galveston Gray by Benjamin Moore. “Because there are 30 feet of cabinetry on one wall alone, we wanted cabinetry that was still light and bright but felt warm,” says Flemming, who used Houzz to gather inspiration photos for this project. “We achieved this by incorporating wood tones with the gray upper cabinets and using a light-colored countertop and backsplash.”
Other special features. Marble backsplash in herringbone pattern. Custom metal range hood. Custom glass-blown chandelier over eat-in table. Brushed-brass pendants.
Designer tip. “I like to mix up the hardware between the drawers and doors in a kitchen,” Flemming says. “It helps break up the space and makes it more interesting.”
