“The cabinetry in this kitchen is Clive Christian
Furniture with an antique cream hand-painted finish. The family owns
multiple restaurants and is used to professional kitchens, equipped
with the best appliances and sufficient working space, and wanted
that in their own home as well. But they also wanted to stay away
from having it look as sterile as a restaurant kitchen."

comfortable Old World feel. The island top is teak; because there’s
so much stone, we wanted to soften it with a wood counter. Cream
cabinetry also helps soften the space, as white would have been too
stark and dark would create a closed-in feeling. The La Cornue
range’s burgundy color just popped the entire hearth and mantel. We
tried a few other colors initially, but cranberry with brass trim
really worked well with the cream cabinetry and stone floor.”
