The Entertainer’s Dream Outdoor Kitchen

This outdoor Entertainer’s Dream is packed full of function and beauty.  Between the Wolf grills, ice makers and under cabinet refrigerators, you’ll find the our foodie homeowner’s dream smoker and pizza oven.  On sunny days you can find the retractable pergola open with the pool and lounge stations bursting with activity.  During Michigan’s cooler seasons, there’s still plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors in this incredible space, but especially next to the oversized fire table cozied up and watching your favorite game.

Rustic Vibes

Classic finishes like ebony shaker cabinetry, a wood wrapped range hood  and farmhouse sink were selected in this modern rustic kitchen renovation.  The star of the kitchen, however, is the reclaimed barnwood wrapped island. The charm of this kitchen continues with the use of neutral accessories like the barstools and décor.  The use of a lighter barnwood for the island contrasts beautifully next to the dark perimeter of the kitchen.

Shifting to Warmer Tones

The shift towards warmer and more natural tones is here and it’s something we’ve been waiting for!  Stained cabinetry is classic, authentic, and timeless.  Alder, specifically, adds subtle dimension and texture to a space and we love that our clients took a risk and added it not only to the range hood and island, but also the dry bar area and fridge area.  The warmth of the stained wood balances nicely the white painted cabinetry, the brushed nickel hardware and compliments the polished granite that incorporates the dark and light hues of the cabinetry.

Traditional Two-Tone

White kitchens are loved for their timeless appeal and endless versatility and can easily transform a tired looking kitchen into a bright, reinvigorated space.  There’s no such thing as too much white, but it is important to be intentional, like this traditional two-tone reno we recently wrapped up.  The contrast of the stained island makes a memorable and dramatic effect by contrasting the bright white perimeter.  The incorporation of extra details, like the mullion glass cabinet doors, as well as the ornate details on the island legs and custom wood range hood truly make this kitchen a gem.

The Perfectly Neutral Kitchen

We are absolutely infatuated with this light and airy kitchen renovation that we’ve so accurately dubbed, “Perfectly Neutral Kitchen”.  This small space packs a punch of function with a free-standing pantry hutch, built in bookcase for cookbooks and functional add-ons in nearly every drawer.  This soft hue of cabinetry is as timeless as white or gray but warmer, making it easier on the eyes and helping this space feel less stark.  It pairs effortlessly with the accent color of polished chrome in the fixtures and hardware.  This kitchen is our definition of a truly great neutral space.

One-of-a-Kind Personality: Painted & Stained Cabinetry

One of a kind personality and custom style is the best way to describe this new construction kitchen which so perfectly unites painted cabinetry with stained cabinetry.  The rich stained island, which matches the corner floating shelves and pantry door, warms up the neutral cream perimeter cabinetry that extends to the beverage area and into the pantry.  By keeping the perimeter of the kitchen neutral with light cabinetry, unadorned quartz, and a simple subway tile, the contrast with the dark stained island with beautifully veined granite becomes the perfect pop of contrast.

White + Wood Combo

When designing their dream home, the Guastella Family knew the focal point of the space would need to be their kitchen, which not only had to be stunning enough to compete with the views of the lake in their backyard but also large enough to replace a formal dining room.  An oversized island was designed in cherry wood with a slightly distressed finish, giving off a subtle contrast to the perimeter of the Irish cream cabinetry.  The space, designed around entertaining,  includes both a coffee and pull-out dry bar area in addition to functional items like drawer organizers, spice racks and utensils holders.  The space was elevated to the next level by leathering the granite countertop making it feel like a truly unique element in the room.  We wish you many boat rides and beautiful sunsets in your new home, Guastella Family!

Instant Interest: The Two-Tone Kitchen

This remodel showcases the ever-popular white kitchen but adds in some serious visual interest wherever the eye takes you.  The statement wood island, while narrow, has been designed full of functional add-ons, including plenty of deep drawer space for pots and pans.  We love the chunky mitered edge granite top that was added – it really makes this  narrow piece pop!  Additional elements included in the design to make it pop include the decorative end panel bookcase, the chunky stacked crown throughout the entire kitchen and the newly added in wet bar, courtesy of taking down a wall and doubling the kitchen space.
