Over the top design elements need not overpower a room
An elaborate tiled coffered ceiling is an over the top design element in this kitchen addition, but by keeping the rest of the room light it doesn’t over power the space. Glass door cabinets are place over windows and remind me of our recent Salie House China Room. The windows extend beneath the upper cabinets bringing natural light to the stainless steel counters. A beverage and serving area is tucked into the corner, adjacent to the breakfast table.
The range area reflects the home’s 1920′s Spanish Colonial architecture with its custom plaster hood and inset relief. The quilted stainless steel niche offers storage and cooking space with its interior shelves and counters. A wood topped island holds a second full-sized sink while copper pots hang from a simple rack above.
