The fabulous style and fun-loving personalities of the clients shine through in this wonderful kitchen. Extra dishwasher and refrigerator drawers, an extra-large fireclay apron sink along with many accessories enhance the functionality of this two cook kitchen. The restored stone wall serves as a magnificent backdrop for the eye- catching hood and 60” range. Cable lighting and lamps made from old concrete pillars were incorporated. Three different edge details grace the thick marble tops which had to be scribed carefully to the stone wall. An additional cabinetry company manufactured the transitional style perimeter cabinetry. Local furniture makers were selected for their abilities to hand plane and hand finish custom antique reproduction pieces that became the island and armoire pantry. Old barn wood planks and beams were used to create the ceiling. Floor tile was hand chipped for an aged effect. Local artisans were chosen for their expertise in metal work for one-of-a-kind pieces designed for this kitchen – pot rack, base for the antique butcher block, freestanding shelves, and wall shelves. Contractors experienced in historic preservation were an important part of the project. After over two years into the design process with a wonderful plan in hand, construction began.

Their wish list included large pro style appliances, lots of visible storage for collections of plates, silverware, and cookware, and a magazine-worthy end result in terms of aesthetics. The dark, inefficient kitchen that was in place would not serve their lifestyle of entertaining and love of cooking well at all. Several additions had been added over time. The original part of the home is a log cabin built in the 1700’s. They knew immediately as well that they would be making many careful changes to honor the integrity of its old architecture. The clients adored this eclectic farm home from the moment they first opened the front door.
