Custom cabinetry is the way to go with a new kitchen renovation, there are so many aspects that can be customized that you just can't do with a modular off the shelf kitchen. Everything from the height, depth, width and finish can be made to your specific needs when going the custom route.
In this case most of the cabinets had to be custom to some degree to accommodate appliances, walls, and awkward bulkheads. The cabinets are painted in Benjamin Moore'-Dune White CC-70 and finished in a satin finish. The finish is absolutely stunning!
Most of the original plan was executed with the final kitchen design. The pantry adds so much additional storage and the well thought-out compartments within, allow the home owners to stay organized.
When planning a kitchen its all about being flexible. Our original plan to have stacked cabinets with a row of glass doors above got chopped and ended up on the kitchen floor, due to budget restraints. Instead, we decided on 36" upper cabinets with a more substantial crown moulding right up to the ceiling. The higher cabinets still allow for additional storage compared to their previous kitchen.
On either side of the range we added glass doors above to add symmetry and to break up the row of white cabinets. We also had them wired for pot lights for a layer of decorative lighting.
I absolutely love the way this turned out! By making the cabinet above the range deeper, the crown moulding wraps around the varying planes adding an architectural feature and visual interest to a pretty simple design. Although its not a wood canopy it has the feeling of a grand design feature.
We again played with varying planes along the pantry wall to add depth and visual interest.
This turned out to be a great looking kitchen. The white cabinets have completely brightened it up and the dark floors ground it all and have really opened up the space.
We're ready for the next step... countertop install!
