European Traditional Kitchen Remodel: Doylestown, PA
This kitchen is an elegantly styled, yet comfortable space. The new space extends beyond the original "builder grade" kitchen's bounds. An expansive island features an icemaker, prep sink, roll-out storage shelves, and a 3" thick Brazilian cherry butcher block top and provides informal seating for the entire family. Raised panel, glazed, cherry cabinetry adds dimension to the space and includes an integrated mantle style hood. The raised end panels on the exposed cabinet sides convey a richer and more finished look, and a built-in apothecary cabinet provides visual interest as well as an alcove in which to house the clients' microwave. Contrasting glazed bone cabinetry was used for the island in order to give the room a dramatic punch. Hardwood floors bring warmth to the space while the custom-designed, hand-made tile plaques above the range provide a one-of-a-kind feature. High-end appliances such as the 60" Wolf double oven range, Sub Zero refrigerator, and built-in warming drawer allow for easy meal preparation. In addition to recessed down lights, ambient cove lighting is featured behind the crown molding on the upper wall cabinetry and decorative schoolhouse pendants over the island add to the period styling of the kitchen.
