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.

Country Cozy

I love this sweet little house. The couple that renovated it have great taste, really pulled off decorating and pulling the colours together in the rest of the space. All cabinetry and countertop by Progressive Cabinets.

This kitchen was designed for the clients retired parents, and as such, certain considerations were made.

Cabinets to the Counter-top- It can sometimes be difficult to raise stacks of plates and bowls overhead to shelves in upper cabinets. By bringing the cabinets down to the counter in select areas, the every-day storage areas are more easily accessible for children and those with limited mobility or range of motion.

Counter-top Appliance Garage- Items such as stand mixers, food processors and blenders can be cumbersome to lift out of lower cabinets. A strategically located Appliance Garage can hide these unsightly appliances, while storing them away in an accessible manner. Garages are also a great place to hide the coffee maker and toaster so they don't clutter up the counter-top.

Drawers Rather Than Doors- We opted to use drawer storage wherever possible in this kitchen. Drawers are easier to access and can store dry goods and pots in a more organized manner. The bottom half of the pantry beside the refrigerator contains 4 roll-outs rather than just shelves for the same reason.
