The design goal of this sophisticated kitchen? Infuse its Cape Cod architecture with midcentury modern style. The kitchen cabinetry took a year of searching for the perfect wood. The winner: a European Compressed Oak.

A bold mix of patterns and materials comes together in this kitchen, which blends midcentury modern accents with the original details such as an antique brass-strapped hood.

Rectangular and triangular black tiles turn this kitchen's backsplash into an eye-catching graphic display.

Pulls on cabinets and drawers are an easy way to dress up and add imaginative flair to a space.
