Custom cabinetry and board and batten detail on the base of the peninsula add character to this open and airy kitchen with blush-colored walls, made for preparing gourmet meals.
Blush-colored walls and a massive high ceiling add an expansive feel to this open kitchen, with a beautiful backyard made for easy outdoor entertaining located just steps away.
A remote allows you to control the automated shades on the solar powered fresh air skylights, so you can adjust the amount of natural light with the push of a button.
Oversized industrial-style copper pendants create statement lighting over the peninsula, that helps define the kitchen and provide a spot for casual meals.
The board and batten detailing on the base of the peninsula is one of the architectural details that gives this space character. “It’s in the same wood and finish as the cabinetry above,” says designer Brian Patrick Flynn. “We have this massive ceiling, so I wanted something for your eye to go to that was lower, so it wouldn’t feel so cavernous.”
The kitchen’s durable counters offer prep space on both sides of the range and sink. “We kept the material with the countertops simple,” says designer Brian Patrick Flynn.
The beautiful backsplash includes randomly laid out 4x4-inch tiles in different shades of blush and lavender. A round raw edge tree ring cutting board adds a nice rustic touch to the kitchen counter.
Framed postmodern art from an artist who uses plaster to create geometric shapes decorates the kitchen wall. A dark frame makes the art pop against the tile backsplash.
An essential oil mist diffuser keeps the kitchen smelling fresh. It automatically sprays a gentle fragrant mist at set times, to add constant freshness to the space.
The kitchen’s super roomy single bowl sink makes it easy to clean large stock pots or roasting pans, when preparing gourmet meals for family and friends at home.
A mobile app for the home’s monitored security system sends instant alerts, locks and unlocks doors remotely, and allows you to arm, disarm, and check on your security system from virtually anywhere.
A paneled dishwasher helps the sink area maintain a clean look. The numerous cabinets and drawers near the sink and range keep kitchen essentials within easy reach.
When the panel front is rolled up, the flat panel microwave drawer can be used to warm up leftovers, or to prepare a quick snack. This location leaves the counter clear and the sightline open.
An alcove was created to help frame the range and large paneled refrigerator that sits to the left the range. Panel fronts on the refrigerator coordinate with the surrounding cabinetry for a cohesive look.
The paneled energy-efficient French door refrigerator with freezer on the bottom helps you keep fresh and frozen foods organized, with numerous pull-out shelves and adjustable configuration.
The counter between paneled refrigerator and range offers space to spread out a cookbook, so you can check a favorite recipe, or get inspiration for next week’s meals.
Wanting to do a fresh spin on unexpected finishes, designer Brian Patrick Flynn chose cabinet hardware with a rose gold finish. “It’s also something that really fits the 70s, and that was one of our inspirations for the house,” he explains.
One of the kitchen’s spacious, soft-close drawers keep a supply of essential oils and mist diffusers close by, that offer an easy way to get the kitchen smelling great fast.
In addition to the indoor camera, the glass door that connects the kitchen to the backyard includes a door sensor that sends an alert if an unwanted guest tries to enter.
The kitchen and dining room share a seamless connection, with a coordinating color palette and bountiful natural light flooding both spaces. The arched double front door's warm wood tones and the aged-copper pendants over the kitchen's L-shaped bar counter add a good dose of warmth against the lighter blush-colored walls.
This wide view looking towards the dining room and front entry of the home highlights the impressive vaulted ceiling that gives this space tons of architectural interest and drama.
