Spicewood Springs Kitchen Renovation

Transitional Cabinetry

Our client wanted both contemporary kitchen amenities and but wants it to have that classic look. I think the cabinetry design along with the building materials they chose accomplished the look they desired to create.

Although the cabinetry is classic, there is no doubt you are in a modern kitchen when you notice the commercial-grade appliances, contemporary lighting, and all of the smart features.

The kitchen spotlights white quartz countertops and the cream-colored kitchen island. In contrast, we used espresso-stained shaker-style cabinets and colorful walls. Pendant lights over the kitchen island along with the red bar stools also add a modern accent. The custom cabinetry with built-in bookshelves balances it out with a home-like vibe.

This contemporary custom kitchen features two-tone walls, and we separated each color by a chair rail. Also, notice the small square crown molding on the cabinets contrasted by the lack of crown molding elsewhere in the kitchen, a trendy modern design element.

GLASS, BUT NOT TOO MUCH

The frosted glass inserts in upper cabinets on either side of the sink achieve a beautiful aesthetic, and the Key West cabinet hardware adds a stylish touch. The large stainless steel rectangular under-mount sink paired with subway-patterned grey glass-tiled backsplash, blue walls, and off-white floor tiles look amazing.

We took advantage of the high ceiling above the island bar installing pendant lighting. However, we opted to use can lights over the peninsula since the roof above was lower in height. 

ACCESSORIZED CABINETRY

HIDE THOSE APPLIANCES

Our clients love to use their coffee station and other handy appliances every day. But they hate the clutter it can leave, which is why specialize in smart, functional designs that also look amazing.

The cabinetry conceals the microwave and coffee station inside of a convenient appliance garage. We finished the inside of the appliance garage providing an impressive look even while it is open. A flat pull-out stand extends the coffee station providing easy access.

SMART DESIGN FEATURES

Modern features and storage options abound in this transitional kitchen. We built a long run of cabinets that extend up to the ceiling. The kitchen cabinets, accessorized with pull-out drawers for the trash can and cooking accessories, provide elements of functionality as well as beauty. The dark espresso-stained wood contrasts the stainless steel appliances creating a stunning aesthetic.

ISLAND FEATURES

The initial design intended the living room side of the peninsula to be a built-in desk. However, during construction, the clients decided to install shelves in the original seating area. We applied the cabinet finish underneath the shelves to achieve a stunning finished furniture look.

The bar area just outside of the kitchen has flat-panel doors, also offering a modern look. In contrast, we used traditional shaker-style doors. The glass inserts in the upper cabinets add a beautiful aesthetic. Highlights include vertical shelves for wine bottles, expansive countertop space, as well as a built-in wine refrigerator.
