When Function Meets Style


 
We recently remodeled a kitchen for two wonderful clients who will enjoy their new space for many years to come. It was very important that we created a functional kitchen that also fit their lifestyle.  When we started to lay out the kitchen with our design software, we made sure to include a peninsula where the owners could sit and enjoy each other’s company while they cooked. We also decided to replace small store-bought book cases with custom built bookshelves. The bookshelves can hold a variety of decorative items but most importantly they keep your cook books and recipe boxes at an arm’s length distance where you’ll need them the most.
 
In addition to function, this kitchen also has an appealing and timeless style. The clients chose white cabinets with clean lines and slab front doors. We included a few glass cabinet doors with glass shelves to add extra interest and detail to the space. For the flooring, we installed engineered wood floors in the kitchen so that they would seamlessly blend with the floors throughout the rest of the home.

 We went on to replace the old laminate countertops with beautiful white Caesarstone quartz purchased from Sapona Green Building. Caeserstone quartz is a high quality material mined exclusively in Israel. The company employs sustainable methods to extract, process, manufacture, and ship the quartz to the United States. The picture really doesn’t do these countertops justice – they’re stunning to see firsthand.


The end result is a stylish kitchen that didn’t sacrifice an ounce of function. If you have any questions about this project or if you would like to discuss your own kitchen remodel, please e-mail us at Catherine@baldingbrothers.com. We’d love to hear from you!
