While this "builder's special" kitchen was a good size and had a functional layout, it had dated, short wood cabinets, dark counters and an oversized hood.
Fixtures were to remain in the same location and a white kitchen was at the top of the request list.
Kitchen is transformed with stacked cabinets going to the ceiling and a complimenting molding. Grabill White Peony Cheshire inset cabinets are the star of the show.
It's lighter, brighter and the ceiling feels taller!
The island cabinets are Grabill's Shadow, a bluish grey, and the hutch counter is walnut butcher block.
This harmonious balance of colors and materials precludes the kitchen from being "too white'.
Thoughtful design details make a difference.
For example, the cabinet to the left of the window was built as a triple door cabinet to avoid any styles between the doors.
A more appropriately sized hood was chosen.
Stacked inset cabinets provide extra storage and clean lines.
