1 The impeccable craftsmanship of the Medallion Cabinetry steals the show in this elegant kitchen. Painted a light and neutral Irish Crème, the perimeter cabinetry boasts inset, flat panel doors and solid cast bronze hardware for timeless appeal. Tucked inside are a number of desirable storage features including pullout spice racks, cutlery dividers, roll-out trays, and a lazy Susan. 2 With its cherry finish, the spacious island provides a nice contrast to the perimeter cabinetry while also working to add warmth to this kitchen. Quartz countertops offer up the ideal prep space for mealtime, while a row of five casual yet classic counter stools can seat the whole family. 3 Adjacent to the heart of the kitchen is a cozy breakfast nook with a wine bar featuring cabinetry finished in the same cherry stain as the island. Here, custom leaded glass has been incorporated into the cabinetry to enhance the beautiful design. The bar houses a Scotsman ice maker and Avallon wine cooler so that it can serve as a full drink station. 4Further incorporating the cherry stain is a two-tone range hood that’s been trimmed at the base to match the island and wine bar. The paneled hood is a functional statement piece that truly ties the whole room together. 5 Premium appliances such as the stainless-steel BlueStar refrigerator and Wolf 48inch dual fuel range set any home cook up for success. A microwave drawer has been integrated into the island’s design for easy accessibility and low visibility, and two dishwashers provide the extra capacity for large gatherings.

1 Large 12x24 floor tile infuses warmth and coziness to this modern space with an appearance that resembles cork. This unique choice not only adds visual interest, but it’s also made to withstand heavy foot traffic and the occasional spill. 2 Painted in a classic Wildwood Crest by Benjamin Moore, the bar’s floor-toceiling cabinetry makes a stunning first impression. Wide louvers give the cabinet doors a clean, contemporary style that pairs well with the Jeffrey Alexander bronze hardware. With ample storage space, the cabinetry effectively keeps glassware out of sight. 3 This room’s focal point is its two-tiered island. Featuring a sink and generous counter space, the island serves as the ultimate workstation, and its smart design offers plenty of room for small gatherings. White quartzite countertops provide a durable, low-maintenance surface for mixing cocktails. 4 Stainless steel appliances are always a coveted look for their sleek aesthetic. The spacious refrigerator boasts a glass panel that allows one to take stock of what’s inside. Another noteworthy element is the bar’s hidden wine cellar, perfect for wine collectors and serial entertainers alike. 5 In addition to well-chosen materials, this bar’s easy style relies on a few eye-catching, yet functional accents instead of lots of décor. Three globe wall sconces, finished in aged brass, jut out from the top of the tile backsplash and provide supplementary light to the workspace. A coordinating pull-down kitchen faucet is simultaneously trendy and timeless.

1 With a custom green paint inspired by Sherwin-Williams Grassland, the gorgeous aroundthe-room cabinetry extends to the 10-foot ceiling – a necessity for a beautiful yet functional kitchen design. Each of the inset, flat panel doors and drawers incorporate a custom framing bead, while polished nickel hardware provides the perfect finishing touch. 2 The cabinetry holds a few surprises, including a conveniently placed appliance garage to the left of the panel-ready Sub-Zero refrigerator. The appliance garage has been designed to keep the kitchen’s microwave, toaster oven, and other smaller appliances out of sight. This clutter-busting storage solution allows for ample counter space and a clean appearance overall. 3 Calacatta Gold marble countertops are a timeless, elegant choice for this kitchen. To further highlight this luxurious material, the marble continues up the wall to serve as a backsplash, creating a cohesive look. 4 The kitchen provides two main sinks – one intended for meal prep at the island, and a second “cleanup” sink under the window with a panel-ready dishwasher to its right side. Flanking the window is tall cabinetry used for pantry space and glassware, with a Scotsman icemaker and beverage center hidden below. 5 This dazzling kitchen is bright and airy, due in part to the space’s thoughtfully layered lighting. The under cabinet lighting adds essential task lighting to the kitchen’s work surfaces – this can make all the difference in food preparation. Inside the room’s glass-front cabinets, interior lighting beautifully illuminates decorative pieces, adding ambience and style.
