Delafield Kitchen Remodel
Custom modern vertical grained bamboo frameless cabinets with full overlay doors were selected for their beauty, clean lines, minimal impact on the environment and the unique desired finishes. A rich Espresso color was selected for the perimeter cabinets while contrasting with the lighter caramelized finish of the island. The former refrigerator wall became a wall of 17” deep pantry cabinets to accommodate a built in coffee bar with toaster that is hidden from view with two matching pocket doors. To break up the massing of the wall, two aluminum framed glass full overlay doors with touch latches were added with tempered decorative rain glass. Additional efficient storage features of the cabinetry included tray dividers and three pull out drawers in the bottom drawer of the pantry cabinet, the new counter depth refrigerator was relocated to the opposite wall and housed in a full depth cabinet. Matching vertical grained bamboo espresso panels were used to finish the front face of the refrigerator. Long vertical stainless steel bar pulls were used on the doors for a linear accent.
One of the focal points in the kitchen is the range wall which was updated with a 30” stainless steel Electrolux designer glass canopy wall mount exhaust hood with dual halogen lights. It’s flanked by a rich blend of vertical honed marble mosaics and vertical grained full overlay bamboo espresso wall cabinets with glass inserts. The top of the cabinets feature a vertical grained bamboo banding with a caramelized finish. The base blind cabinet to the right of the stove has three corner drawers that allow for easy access. The existing peninsula that hampered floor traffic was removed and replaced with a 42”x84” central island featuring an abundance of storage via drawers, doors and easily accessible microwave which maximizes the counter working space. The island also serves a dual purpose in allowing for additional large flat space for quilting.
The decorative tile pattern behind the range is a cascade canyon mosaic marble installed vertically in two bands of different widths creating visual interest. The sink has been upgraded to a Kohler Undertone undermount stainless steel sink with a Brizo pull-down touchless faucet with smart technology. The countertop chosen is a 3cm Delicatus Granite with a T edge treatment which complements the wood tones of the cabinetry.
