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.

Sleek stone, rich wood and glass cabinets combine for just the right mix of contemporary design and subtle elegance in this 135-square-foot Clayton loft kitchen designed by Accent on Cabinets. The style and functionality are cutting-edge and inviting with a blend of modern and traditional design elements. Quarter-sawn oak cabinetry and contemporary blue glass cabinets mix for a look that is current and sleek but not sterile. The pop of blue is a fun twist from the all-white contemporary look often seen.

As interior designer and friend Lori Olsen McElvain describes it, Rob and Nicole Rosenwinkel’s kitchen remodel started with a Joybird sofa.

Typical. Right?
