Ridge Road Residence Kitchen 1
This kitchen was remodeled to create "private club" feel. This was done by having earthy tones, including Jenn-Air bronze appliances, dark-stained oak cabinets and the hand-painted design on the hood which is mirrored on the space above the sink.
Even though they liked the "private club" feel for interior decoration, the clients did not like the feeling of isolation. In the old layout, a wall divided the family room and kitchen, leaving the family members in adjacent rooms feeling distant. With the new design, the wall was removed and now the people in the kitchen don't feel cut off from those in the family room. Removing the wall also accomplished other goals the clients had including more counter space and cabinet storage.
