Ok friends, so do you agree with us...this charming kitchen is already gorgeous just like it is? But we’ve been so excited to share with you...we’re growing!
Today, I’d like you to see the present kitchen so you will appreciate where we’re going in the next few months with the new addition. We’ll be keeping some of our favorite elements in the original kitchen, as we add new ones.
Our goal for the new addition is to create a seamless transition between the two structures. This includes two fabulous working kitchens opening to a sun drenched great room, a luxurious master suite with a stunning master bath, three fun teenage bedrooms, a family-friendly game room and a multi-tasking mudroom/entry...more on those later!
Who wouldn’t just love a charcoal grey Lacanche range with shiny brass knobs? (Gray and gold are a killer combination anywhere!) And she’s crowned with a gorgeous, studded custom hood that we designed for this space.
If you adore this style of range as much as we do...we’ve rounded up a couple good options for you to see! (See Option 1 | See Option 2)
Casting light on the island
Remember the entry light? We’re using the same glass orb here.
We love repeating similar elements throughout the house to create harmony.
Functionality rules and beauty reigns in this kitchen. The rough and weathered reclaimed ceiling pairs so perfectly with the shimmer of little glass orbs over the honed granite island. We love unexpected elements and a mix of materials.
Stunning eastern views from the wall of windows
Because the views at the kitchen sink are to die for (and overlook rolling green hills and a peaceful pond!) we chose to do a sweeping wall of windows instead of upper cabinets. But that presented the problem of where to put the necessary electrical outlets. But no worries! We sourced handy pop-up outlets that recessed into the granite countertops...pretty cool, right? Functional and seamless.
Although this space is stunning just as she is, the team of Norris Architecture and Post 31 Interiors is doubling its size to create a beautiful new entertaining kitchen including the coolest butler’s pantry. The home’s new addition will allow our fun-loving clients even more opportunities to welcome family and friends!
Think...two enormous, hard-working quartzite-topped islands, handsome secondary appliances, plenty of beautifully detailed cabinets for storage and a big surprise we’ll show you on the next blog. Can you guess?? Here’s a clue…this family loves the beach!
