I was ecstatic when, not only did the homeowners want to completely demo their space, they also gave me cart-blanche on the entire kitchen design!We started with switching up the entire layout of the kitchen and cabinets. I went with a sturdy 3/4” woodgrain lower cabinet to tie-in the floor color, while the uppers were in a dark, solid blue to create a dramatic contrast.
Appliance selection was next in the process. And guess what? White appliances are back! First, I chose a smart gas range which allows you to send cooking instructions from your phone directly to the range. Next, I selected a french door refrigerator with a pantry inspired layout and an infinity slide shelf. Finally, we added the tub dishwasher, providing extra room for those hard to fit items.
For the countertops, I couldn’t resist the White Attica. It is primarily white but has marble ribbing that matches the uppers perfectly. When going with a material like quartz, ensure that you have it professionally installed. This is not time to try your hand at a DIY. Leave it to the professionals. We painted all the walls, trim and even the ceiling in the color Dove Tail to create a brighter space.
A feature that might get overlooked in a kitchen is the sink. I chose an edgy farm sink that really makes an impact. Another element I brought into this kitchen was a sleek black faucet from Delta. It features a powerful magnet to snap your spray wand into place and hold it there. In this kitchen, I opted to do the entire back wall in a gorgeous tile. I had them laid vertically to show off the tile details and elongate the wall. To make the tiled wall really stand out, I added gorgeous white and gold sconces. Countertop appliances always need to be factored into a makeover. For this family that loves to cook and bake, I chose KitchenAid. Their appliances have smart features that enhance the home cook’s experience. A coffee bar was also a must for this family. I selected a twelve cup drip coffee maker with a programmable warming plate.
For the stunning finishing touches, we shopped at Bed Bath and Beyond Canada to find the perfect accessories. We hand-picked low back black stools that tuck tightly into the island. Cutting boards, cute sugar bowls and tea pots complete the look on the open shelving.
