EUROPEAN KITCHEN CABINET PICTURE PERFECT AND EUROPEAN PANACHE

The owners of this European home are regular readers of Signature Kitchens & Baths. Their inspiration for their kitchen make-over came from a picture in the magazine, They saw the combination of impeccable design, detail and quality product they wanted for their own newly designed kitchen space.

To collabote with them, they called in Karen Bieszczak, CKD, of Bzak Design Group. She, in turn, worked with Ellen Shelly of Shelly Design to achieve all the homeowners' desires.

The home designers' first idea was to increase the amount of natural light in the room by increasing the width of the window over the sink. Although the client wanted to eliminate the back door to maximize cabinet space, the decision to add a window resulted in giving the space more character and placing more emphasis on the custom wood hood. Realizing the corner spaces do not make ideal task areas, the designers planned for corner cabinets that come to the counter. These make up for storage space eliminated by the addition of a second window, while increasing functionality.

Warming the look of the modern kitchen, hardwood floors and a beadboard ceiling were installed. New appliances by Bosch, Viking, Sub-Zero and Kitchen contribute more ease of function. Sleek black granite countertops give a luxurious and polished look.

Masterfully crafted details abound. A special display plate rack on the side of the pantry entices guests to walk into a kitchen filled with spectacular millwork details and unique storage components. Arched keystone valances, reeded pilasters and turn posts, dentil molding, scalloped toe-kick details, Enkeboll brackets and beadboard all contribute to the visual appeal.

The clients brought to the table their own exceptional taste in paint colors and decorating accents. Working closely with the designers, they helped to create their own supremely functional and beautiful kitchen, a space that shows how a consistency in detail, balance and creative interpretations can surpass everyone's initial expectations.

European Panache home is on the crest of a mountaintop, with a commanding view of beautiful gardens and the Smokey Mountains. No commonplace kitchen could possibly fit into scenic wonder.

The location, along with the homeowners' love of cooking and family, supplied the inspiration for the design of this home and its French-influenced kitchen. The challenge for Jacque Kitts, of Kitchen Gallery, was to create a warm inviting feeling within the large kitchen space.

The clients wanted generous-sized appliances and expansive cabinetry. They realized that combining many work centers with entertainment areas would allow them to enjoy preparing meals while easily sharing conversation with friends and family.

These goals were met by careful attention to personalized details that would add character to these areas and reflect the uniqueness of this family. A custom designed hood and soffit minimize the vast plane of the ceiling line and adds a coziness to the kitchen area. The multi-level island not only identifies work areas but also providers a perfect showcase for colorful display on countertops or in custom-designed niches at its base. The arched valance over the window was designed to mirror its frame so the view can be enjoyed by family and guests.

With the wrap-around bar at one end of the kitchen and the sitting area at the other, movement is easy and allows for many people to gather in comfort-another request of the homeowners. Kitchen windows and doors open into terraces with fountains, blurring the line between indoors and the breathtaking landscape.

Lighting placement was of utmost importance. It highlights task areas, emphasizes special-interest areas and creates moods. The finished space beckons visitors to enter into this center of activity that is loaded eith panache and charm. It's a perfect gathering place for parties in the evening or for the family to sit in the glow of a mountaintop sunrise for their first cup of morning coffee.
