This desk area showcases some of the best architectural elements of this kitchen with details including stacked mouldings, raised paneled cabinet doors, and reeded turned posts that are also carried over to the island.  Details like the patinaed hardware shown on the freezer drawer, enhance the European country feel. 

This transitional kitchen combines the elements of traditional and European country, creating a warm and inviting environment. The warm wood tones, tumbled marble finish on the tile authenticates the “old world” charm of this kitchen. The floor tile that is laid on the diagonal mimics the layout of the backsplash tile and gives the room a more spacious feel. The lighting is layered to provide versatility by offering overall lighting, task lighting and lighting that provides ambience.

This view of the hood shows how it heightens the room and provides a feeling of antiquity with its crackled aged finish. The feeling of antiquity is enhanced by the marble countertop that incorporates the beiges and brown found in the overall color scheme and the traditional ogee edge. This contrasts the sleek style of the cooktop with its flat push button controls and burners. How could cleanup get any easier!  Just wipe with a damp cloth and you are done. Fire up the pasta pot!  Let’s eat!

The sunlight shines in through this tall window that sits right on the countertop.  A box bay  window creates a happy spot for plants behind the graceful undermount sink.  The double sink allows for easy clean up of the dinner dishes or a handy area for prepping the vegetables for the steamer.
