Kitchen Remodel | Highland Park
Job Summary:
This Highland Park remodel exemplifies how even busy families can enjoy the benefits of a high-end, luxurious kitchen remodel, designed to meet the demands of intense daily wear-and-tear. Our clients requested a traditional kitchen design with all the modern appliances and amenities while keeping in mind one of their main goals was to gain storage.
Cabinet Style:
Fully custom frameless cabinet with a three piece crown molding. An Egg and Dart insert accentuates the crown molding by providing added interest and attention to detail. The cabinet doors are Churchill with a flat center panel and applied molding. The applied molding adds visual definition and interest. In addition, the molding provides a detail that allows the finish to collect in the grooves which adds further detailing and character.
Cabinet Finish:
The perimeter cabinets are painted in a Vanilla with a Caramel Glaze. The glazing aspect of the finishing process adds dimension and provides a more furniture-esque feel to the cabinetry. Glazing is attracted to any texture or grooves on a hard surface. A plethora of glazing color options are available when determining cabinet finish.
The island and hutch were built-out using maple wood with a rich stained called Burnt Sugar. Notice that the door style to the island is still the Churchill however it showcases a raise center panel to make it slightly different.
Counter Tops:
The perimeter kitchen counter tops are 1-1/4” granite with an ogee edge detail. The island counter top is twice the thickness and therefore has a laminated double ogee edge. Often the island acts as a centerpiece of which homeowners like for it to be unique.
Backsplash:
3x6 Porcelain subway tile was chosen for the bulk of the backsplash while adding in a framed detail section in an alternate pattern directly above the stovetop for added interest. In addition, this Highland Park home owner wanted a more clean and uninterrupted finish without seeing all of the outlets. Plug molds (multi-outlet strips) were installed underneath the wall cabinetry, as opposed to the backsplash, to achieve a sleek look.
Flooring:
2-1/4” wide x ¾” thick solid Oak wood flooring was stained on site to the client’s desired finish. Laid on the diagonal, this wood floor was selected as a nice visual compliment to the painted cabinetry while providing a nice contrast. Another reason for selecting a wood floor over tile was due to it being warmer and more forgiving on the body’s joints during extended kitchen prep and cleanup.
