A kitchen designed as a decorative showpiece and for entertaining
Elegant cabinets and a beefy range hood in the color of distressed indigo blue jeans give this beautifully designed kitchen a real Wow! factor. It takes a huge space to carry off this highly original color combination and the loft ceiling with exposed wood beams contributes to the old-world atmosphere of a Texas ranch.
The kitchen– designed by Bunny Williams – has an all-glass arched door, screened by natural-wood plantation shutters, that opens to the outside and provides excellent natural light that’s needed with such dark cabinets.
On the striking range wall, an imposing chimney hood draws your attention to the cooking center with its Viking pro-style range and additional under-counter oven to the left. Twin, unfitted horizontal spice cabinets line up with the corbels on each side of the hood and over a large-scale white tile backsplash. Scrolled iron scroll brackets amp up the rustication. Throughout, the granite counters are keyed to a Jerusalem limestone floor in a perfect blend. And what a chandelier!
The main sink occupies the center of a cabinet wall constructed like a hutch. There are paneled dishwashers on each side. The island contains a prep sink plus bar-stool seating on one side. A second, smaller island introduces talavera tiles in colors that point up the entire kitchen.
