COLOR Benjamin Moore Old World
BALANCE The coral on the kitchen ceiling and walls creates a punch of fun and playfulness, but is grounded by the dark cabinets and countertops, creating the perfect harmony for a func- tional kitchen.
CUSTOM PERKS The custom kitchen cabinets boast pull out drawer storage so every inch of the cabinet can be utilized easily. The cabinets are also equipped with soft-close slides.
BUILT-IN We chose graphite color appli- ances to match the cabinets, creating a “built-in” look. In addition, the depth of the above- fridge cabinets are extra deep for additional storage—a much sought after but rarely found feature in an older home.
ABOUT THE DESIGNERS The new kitchen layout was designed to maximize stor- age and utilize every space possible. This is especially noticeable in the custom 16in.-depth white kitchen cabinet adjacent to the pantry. What was once an awkward and unusable portion of the kitchen was re-designed as a cof- fee bar to stand out and be noticed. The newly designed and completely renovated kitchen was donated by Square One Studio, a commercial design- build company whose shop is just blocks from the home. Designer and project manager Brad Antisdel explains why participating in this project was such a great fit. “There is a trend toward making commercial kitchens and cafes look as residential as possible,” he explains. “We enjoyed the challenge of creating a completely custom commercial look that blended into a historic residential project.”
