We wanted to take a minute to share our latest custom kitchen renovation with you. Everything you see here from the custom stained red oak cabinets to herringbone natural stone backsplash has been crafted with care by Armitage Interiors.
The existing layout of this kitchen space was cluttered and did nothing to optimize the available square footage. An entire wall of floor to ceiling cabinets and an enormous granite island make use of all the available space as well as making a big statement.
Under cabinet and over cabinet lighting illuminate the room while running the tile backsplash all the way up to the ceiling adds color and warmth.
A six-burner stove was a must have for our clients and this GE Café stainless model was a perfect fit with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capability. The appliance package for this kitchen is completely online.
The convection oven also has an air-frying capability as well as a built-in temperature probe for roasting. The herringbone tile pattern was a lot of work, but it paid off brilliantly especially in the open space below the hood vent.
The sink faucet has a special feature; it can be turned off remotely or simply by touching it, even an elbow will do. Everything in this kitchen is “smart.”
The French doors on this built-in oven make for easier access to baked goods. Both the built-in oven and the microwave below are from the Café line. They are available in all kinds of finishes with several different hardware options. The floor to ceiling cabinets surrounding the appliances on this wall make dramatic use of the 9-foot ceilings.
Quarter sawn red oak and black iron hardware give this kitchen a timeless look that will never go out of style. The stain is custom as selected by the client.
The Granite countertops are flecked with purple and have beautiful translucent veining throughout. The effect is vibrant and exciting without being busy or loud.
An appliance garage serves to tuck away those items that are too heavy or cumbersome to be moved around the kitchen constantly but are better off out of view when not in use.
There are about 15 roll out drawers throughout the kitchen, combining the classic look of frame and panel doors and the utility and ease of access of drawers in lower cabinets.
These soft close pivoting inserts efficiently use the awkward space of the blind corner cabinet and save the homeowner from having to crawl into dark corners to access the back of the cabinet.
Our clients pooch Lilly might be a little pampered. She needed a cabinet for her own food storage, treats and various sundry items. The bin keeps her food fresh and is located right next to her breakfast spot.
We didn’t want the space under the counter here to go to waste so we added a little secret cabinet for items that don’t need to be accessed regularly. This door is operated by push latch without a knob or hardware and when its closed you’d never know it was there.
Here is a wide angle shot of the whole room with the under and over cabinet lighting turned on. There is plenty of light in the space and all the lights are connected to dimmers, so they are completely adjustable. The over cabinet lighting near the ceiling provides excellent ambient light for midnight snacking.
A smart kitchen with timeless appeal. This project is a wonderful combination of top-notch craftsmanship, efficient and functional design, the latest in kitchen technology, and truly beautiful finishes.
Lilly is very happy with the transformation; she is also happy that all the hammering has finally stopped. Good girl Lilly! We’ll miss you.
