Modern Maple with a bit of Sparkle

This was a fun project. The client was eager to to redesign the space to be fun and cool, while still being fully functional. All details were poured over and some unique design elements resulted.

  • Slab style Veneer Doors in Flat Slice Maple wood.
  • Extended bar style pulls
  • Cabinets were nearly to the 8' ceiling and trimmed in with a fascia
  • Counter-tops are Silestone Quartz in "Stellar Night"
  • Wall corner cabinets are extended to the counter-top for easy access to day to day items like dishes and the sugar bowl.
  • Doors are extended beyond the light rail for a seamless look that doesn't interrupt the vertical lines
  • The custom wine rack is based on a design that the client found in a magazine
  • all toe-kicks and the bottoms of the island legs are wrapped in brushed aluminum.
  • The open shelves (cubbies) above the glass door cabinets make for a great display space.










Classic take on Black and White

This design was for a modest single family home. The kitchen opens directly into the living and dining areas, so the color selection needed compliment the homeowners furnishings and art, and not stand out too dramatically.
  • MDF Doors in flat panel door style with inside panel profile
  • Finish is semi-gloss PVC on doors
  • Crown molding and back/sides of island are Birch stained Espresso colour
  • Glass is frosted and hardware is oil rubbed bronze.
  • Microwave shelf is incorporated into pantry
  • Counter-top is granite tiles with oil rubbed bronze edging
  • Ends of island have picture frame molding details in Espresso
