Just another white kitchen?  Look again!  Soft, subtle hues mark this kitchen with grace and elegance.  Be sure to take this space in all at once, then parse the moments within the space.  This play on texture and light throughout the space create an overwhelming sense of peace that begs the visitor to sit with the chef and  “parlez tout la jour!”

In order to create this feeling of elegant comfort, the key was insert little surprises along the way, like this nook of open shelving.  Not only does this provide a wonderful opportunity for personal touches, but it also creates a break in the wall-to-wall cabinetry typical in most kitchen design.

Appliances in this space are essential, but not pronounced.  An architectural element is created with paneling and storage columns which offer what is otherwise a rather small kitchen, into the model of efficiency.
