Project Description

When this family came to us, they had been told they wouldn’t be able to have the one thing they really, really wanted in their new kitchen design – an island. Oooh, but we love a good challenge! By reconfiguring the step-in pantry to a walk-through pantry, and moving the doorway to the dining room, we were able to make that dream of an island a reality! In fact, the new layout created space for a coffee bar and additional storage on the previously unused wall.

The parents have a love of both traditional furniture and island style. Since the kitchen is between the tropical family room and the formal living room, we had to find a balance of both. The kitchen cabinet door details, polished nickel hardware and cherry island create a classic backdrop. The backsplash accent tile and wall color in Caribbean greens tie in the family room vibe.

The family room fireplace was updated with a herringbone tile in gorgeous ming green stone and a custom white mantel. In the formal living room, the new fireplace showcases a stained mantel with dental molding and a marble-like surround. A new staircase with wrought iron and rich wood completed the grand make-over of the space.
