This contemporary juggernaut shows exactly what kitchen renovations are capable of, with a two-tone cabinet design that includes painted MDF "Brookfield" shaker doors in white and and a scintillating "Brittania Blue" on the island. Champagne bronze hardware pairs perfectly to accentuate the cabinetry. A stunning Hanstone quartz countertop embellishes the kitchen surfaces and accompanying backsplash.

 

The new design removed a kitchen wall peninsula, creating a more open layout while upgrading the space with an emphatic island. Now, the fridge is nestled between a framed microwave base cabinet on the left and a custom built-in pantry equipped with rollouts and accessories on the right. Vertical tray dividers and a pullout basket sit atop the fridge. 

 

With four children in the home and room for entertaining a priority, a substantial island was implemented with spacious seating for 6. The island elevates the kitchen workspace with a waste bin pullout, sink base, dishwasher, and a utensil bank all seamlessly incorporated. 

 

Not to be outdone by such an imposing island, the range wall is a visual focal point in its own right. Two prominent walnut floating shelves on either side of the hood fan jump off the wall, surrounded by a breathtaking white quartz backsplash. To the left of the range is a spice rack pullout, with a tray divider cabinet flanked by a large pot and pan drawer bank to the right.

 

Separated behind a small half-wall to the left sits a secluded wine and coffee bar area. Upper cabinets with glass inserts offer a subtle distinction from the primary kitchen space, while two more floating shelves present accessible space to keep coffee mugs or wine glasses prominently on display. This unique combo-bar is filled with plenty of functional storage and convenient additions, including a blind corner cabinet with a Leman’s pull out accessory, and interior rollouts.
