Stone Hollow: A Spacious Kitchen Design

Most all can agree, that the kitchen is arguably the most important space of a home. Some may even say that it is the heart of a home. This is where families gather for family dinners, mid-afternoon snacks, and is one of the first and last stops to an unwinding day to grab that glass of wine and relax. 

This original kitchen was great. It had a central island, counter space, and an eat-in dining area. For many this would be an optimal kitchen, but every family is different and their needs vary depending on family size and their intent for the space. 

A classic white kitchen with touches of elegance. The island features a waterfall edge (Calcutta Vintage). 

For this family, space and storage were the most important factors in their kitchen. The size before was okay but more open space was needed for five or more to gather (without stepping on toes) for this growing family.  

A large open concept with room for a breakfast table, cozy sitting area, and island bar seating. 

The exterior wall of the kitchen grew about 12'. This allowed for longer perimeter cabinets and the orientation of the island to be turned so that when guests (and children) are sitting at the island, the circulation space behind does not hinder the opening of cabinetry or the refrigerator. 

The consistency of the gold fixtures for the faucet, lighting, and cabinet hardware creates a cohesive design. The beautiful window with black trim behind the sink adds a beautiful, contrasted focal point. 

The design of the kitchen is classic and timeless. The color palette, cabinetry storage solutions, and fine details define the features that mattered most: space & storage. 

This wine bar holds a champagne trough with beautiful dark soapstone that contrasts the rest of of the mostly white kitchen. The custom cabinetry design and mercury glass backsplash creates just the right amount of character. 

The mosaic tile backsplash add just the right amount of texture.
