This New England couple bought their Grand Cape-style house knowing they’d eventually remodel the dated kitchen. The parents of three daughters thought the overall layout worked, but they disliked the visually heavy aging wood cabinets and awkward two-level island. They wanted something light and bright, but specifically not a white kitchen.
For help, they hired designer Jackie Friberg of Granite State Cabinetry and interior planner Shayne Mitchell of Orchard Hill Interiors. Now, perimeter cabinetry in a pale gray-blue adds sophisticated and soothing style. A new one-level streamlined island in natural black walnut visually warms the space and provides enough seating for the whole family. Concrete-look perimeter countertops and a quartzite island countertop add interest. Painted nickel-gap paneling and a classic open plate rack cabinet bring charming touches. Updated appliances and a revamped bar area enhance function.
