KITCHEN & BATH
Character Study Kitchens are the heart of a home and a beloved entertainment hub, so it’s essential for them also to reflect their owners’ styles. These six charismatic kitchens celebrate unique personalities thanks to the talented designers who infused the spaces with the look and feel their clients craved. Written by CHRISTIE GALEANO-DEMOTT

With serene ocean views flooding this Manalapan kitchen, Shannon Callahan delivered an equally calming kitchen space where her clients can entertain and cook large meals for their loved ones. She says the homeowners are captivating storytellers, so she envisioned this area where they’d share a few laughs among friends. The contemporary space’s heroes are the quartzite slabs the homeowners personally selected. The stunning waterfall island, with its soft grey-blue hue and white, inky blue and deep green veins, complements the countertop quartzite boasting a similar color but with crystallized sections. It was important to Callahan that their coloration contrasted with the cabinetry but didn’t deflect from the calming tone of the space. She continued that tranquil feel with wood that is bleached but still warm. High-gloss cabinets, acrylic refrigerator door pulls and the blown glass pendants add subtle reflectivity to the space without distracting from the 15,000-square-foot home’s ocean views.
