PAINT.NET WHITE BALANCE UPDATE

Update a former closed-off, French provincial-style kitchen to create a fresh, clean, open space with island seating.

By introducing inset painted white cabinets in Benjamin Moore White Dove, we were able to lend a bit of a traditional feel while still maintaining an overall modern aesthetic.”ĭesigner: Kristin Winn Weinrich of Four Brothers Design + Build “While the homeowners wanted a new feel to the space, they didn’t want an ultramodern kitchen. “I felt that pairing a warm wood such as walnut with light oak floors would result in a space that feels inviting yet contemporary,” Awadalla says. This helps balance the white inset cabinets and walls (White Dove by Benjamin Moore) and matte white backsplash (3-by-8-inch tiles). Walnut-wrapped range hood, walnut shelves and walnut trim around the appliances bring warmth at eye level and above. “A large pantry is used for the family’s food storage needs, opening up the main kitchen for the cookware and utensils that are used on a daily basis.”ĭesign idea. “We introduced a large clerestory window into the design and recessed appliances wherever possible to keep the space feeling light and open,” says designer Chris Awadalla, who used Houzz ideabooks with his clients for this project. The owners also wanted to create more function for entertaining and to add more light. A warm contemporary kitchen with a Scandinavian influence. Wood accents in this kitchen also help bring warmth at eye level and above.ĭesigner: Chris Awadalla of Sanctuary Kitchen and Bath Design That made a huge difference in the final look.” After a long week and a half, we got the right slabs installed without damaging the cabinets and were thrilled to see the outcome.

That was a frustrating moment, because we knew that first, replacing the slab will delay the project and second, we were afraid that taking off the countertops might damage the island cabinets. “At that point, the slabs were already cut and glued to the cabinets. “After the countertops were already installed, we realized the store we bought the slabs from accidentally ordered the wrong material,” Oron says. The result is airy, modern, lively and fun.” We therefore installed thin structural metal beams across the kitchen ceiling and painted them in a black matte finish. “Beams are usually exposed and made from wood, but my client expressed an affinity for thin metal beams. “Since this kitchen has a vaulted ceiling, the architect made sure that structure was securely supported by beams,” Oron says. Custom-made counter stools upholstered in a tie-dyed fabric. Here, concrete-look porcelain tiles (24 by 48 inches) balance base cabinets and floating shelves made of rift-sawn white oak veneer, a white ceramic tile backsplash in a straight-lay pattern and a light gray cabinet tower (Classic Gray by Benjamin Moore). Consider skipping a wood floor and going with concrete or tile. As for the interior of the house, my goal was to establish modern, clean lines that are characteristic to Eichler homes, with lots of midcentury, boho feel.”ĭesign idea. “Paying homage to the Eichler form, their architect created vaulted ceilings and expansive openings to maximize natural light. “The first thing my client expressed to me was how much they’re drawn to the Eichler style, and their desire to implement similar elements within their own home,” says designer Carmit Oron, whose client found her through Houzz.
