Custom Kitchen Design Photo Archive

The focus of the kitchen comes from the furniture island. The custom island continues the theme of the room with carved fleur-di-lis curved ends, and scroll feet. The island weight actually rests on an internal frame which is inset about 8"-10", but seems to float on its delicate scroll feet. The island contains a bullet hinge panel for easy access to all electrical connections for the wine cooler, 30" oven, and cooktop.

Bottom Photo Above: A better detail is shown here of the carving. This carving appears on all four inset corners of the island. The theme of this room is a fleur-di-lis with red and gold fleur-di-lis wallpaper. The builder grade cabinetry was refaced with Alder and hand glazed with a richer hue. New custom footings and double stacked crown moulding were added to give the cabinetry a stately feel. All doors were replaced with new and finished to replicate a bird’s eye maple. The original woodwork was bleached oak. The interior of the cabinet frames were left in place and painted a wine color.
