“The inspiration for this kitchen was the result of the owner’s European travels. A rich stain and glaze on alder wood complements the Italian-styled travertine floors. Though the kitchen’s coloring leans toward Tuscan, English influences surface in the room’s heavier aspects—pilasters with applied turning were used to add more detail to the cabinetry and create the appearance of inset doors. Placing two paneled Sub-Zeros between heavy custom turnings and adding an open cabinet above created a large armoire look. For an Old World look, the island has a crackled paint and glaze finish with heavy distressing. A dramatic stucco hood matches the island finish, accenting the 12-foot ceilings and the nearly 16” tall, five-piece cove crown moulding.”
