Gegg Design & Cabinetry helped bring this 1904 kitchen back to its original location after being moved to what was the formal dining room. The dynamics of the layout didn’t work for the homeowners, so the decision was made to move the kitchen, but with an updated feel and function that suited their lifestyle. Double windows were removed and a new structural opening was created to let in even more light. A window seat was also added. The existing refrigerator was built into the wall between two arched openings. The pantry was removed and replaced with a coffee area.

The kitchen in this new-construction home is inspired by a visit to the Hamptons with a little European-modern flair mixed in. Rooted in the classic Hamptons fashion with white, transitional-style cabinetry, designers Accent on Cabinets and Slavin Residential took the light, comfortable Hamptons kitchen and gave it warmth and drama with natural walnut accents. Shiplap was applied to the walls and simple moldings and crown were used to ensure the space keeps the Hamptons feel. White cabinets are accented by polished nickel elements.

Taking its cues from the past, this new kitchen designed by Mitchell Wall Architecture & Design has every convenience and technological feature one could want. The interior spaces of the home are centered around a double-height living room framed by a tall, textured fireplace on one side and a paneled stair on the other. The kitchen shares the double-sided fireplace and is organized by two islands with a bar on one side and a wall of appliances and storage on the other. Light from the illuminated display cabinets spill onto the textured wood ceiling feature.

The challenge for designers Alspaugh Kitchen & Bath and Ann Cortinovis Interior Design in this 406-square-foot kitchen was creating a modernized space that was still respectful of the historic 1908 home while incorporating the homeowners’ love for unique details. Traditional framed cabinetry with a hand-brushed finish is befitting of the era the home was built, but a unique, beveled framing bead was chosen to add a more modern detail. Walnut furniture hutches frame the distinctive black, stainless-and-brass La Cornue range and hood.

working closely with the owner architect of this new construction home, Gegg Design & Cabinetry made sure the kitchen would meet their request to simplify how they lived. The goal was to create a space that was functional and open with a modern feel. The cabinetry is horizontal-grain bamboo with a light-gray stained finish. The upper wall cabinets have glass-paneled doors that are painted white on the backside. The lower lift doors are only back painted on the perimeter to create an open glass cabinet. Stainless steel appliances complement the stainless-steel toe kick molding.

Designed to be a part of the breakfast room and larger great room as the main living area in a new custom home in Clayton, this 300-square-foot kitchen was designed by Marc Christian Fine Cabinetry. A central beam and structural posts allowed for the entire space to be open. Columns integrated into the island with matching decorative panels keep them from feeling too intrusive in the room. With a transitional style and color palate of soft white, gray and stainless steel, modern pops in the lighting, plumbing fixtures and cabinet hardware add elegant flair.
