“A total knockout, this kitchen was a labor of love and incredible transformation – from totally drab and dated to a palatial hostessing and entertainment haven! Opening up the space plan, adjusting the entry to the dining, and removing a tired little pantry closet that previously split the kitchen from the powder/living room areas (hello, new bar setup!!), this interior space is now the true hub of this condo on Pensacola Beach. Complete with grain-matched walnut cabinetry throughout, checkerboard butcher block island, the peninsula and walls clad in quartz with a little touch of mica wallcovering – developing these clean lines and texture had to come in the form of more contemporary transitions between every material involved. We especially loved collaborating with a custom metal artist on the gunmetal cabinet doors that feature ochre grasscloth behind and give such a nice moment in the otherwise organic flow of colors and materials in the kitchen. Of course, I can’t forget those stunning champagne appliance doors (which were a bear to get right but worth every stinking ounce of effort!) The kitchen of our dreams, built for someone who truly LOVES to cook – we loved every challenge and beautiful milestone of completing this project!”
