This kitchen, while not a true "period" kitchen by any stretch of the imagination, we did try very hard to reflect and evoke the feeling of a certain period. This kitchen is part of a new construction … a tear down in a neighborhood built slowly between the late 1920's to 1940's. We did not want the house to scream "new construction" and look out of place in the neighborhood. The exterior and the interior look more like a well preserved and updated/remodeled older home than a brand-new house. To accomplish that in the kitchen, we went with inset cabinets with simple lines, took the cabinets up to the ceiling, used hardwoods in the kitchen, chose the Bertazzoni range because it's reminscent of a 1940s O'Keefe and Merit that I once had, and used classic countertop materials--marble and soapstone.

Love the deep drawers. We have 30 inch deep counters on the sink and cooktop legs of the U; it is amazing how much the drawers will hold. Lazy Susan is in the corner. Wine refrigerator is a free-standing one we owned. I was waiting until the copper backsplash showed up but that has been delayed and I just couldn't wait to share the photos.

The space between the end of the peninsula and the pantry cabinet is 5 feet. Our cabinet maker suggested making it this size and I already like it. It will eliminate that bottleneck at the passageway.

My chair and ottoman are from Rowe furniture.

The island measures 4x9.

Link to kitchen photos: http://s213.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/julier1234/

Details:
  • Cabinets: Alder
  • Countertop: Concrete, color is "burlap". www.aceconcrete.com
  • Backsplash - Alumillenium - antique brass tiles
  • Capital 48' with grill
  • GE Monogram all fridge and freezer
  • GE Monogram beverage fridge
  • Thermador triple (micro/warming/oven)
  • Everpure hot/cold
  • Grohe Ladyluxe
The stained glass pieces were salvaged from one of my father-in-law's restaurants. They were kept in storage for almost 20 years. My husband wanted to get rid of them, but I just couldn't do it.

The island measures 87" x 29". Unfortunately, it has a measly 6" overhang (KD design error). We have 37" between the island and the fridge/cabinet side and 31" between the island and the sink side. My husband and daughter use it for breakfast and people can sit at the stools (saddle style stools) for coffee, etc.

The weight of the hood is carried by flanges at the top of the round pipe that are bolted to wood we attached in the ceiling before we did the drywall. The flanges are hidden now because we plastered over them to hide them. So basically the connection detail is hidden from sight.

The concrete countertop has been wonderful for me. When they installed it, they waxed it. I removed the wax as I like a more matte look. The sealer is apparently a huge secret. This is the company we used - www.aceconcrete.com. They are local to us. The countertops were made in their warehouse. The color was not custom but one of the company's colors. It's called "burlap". Love it. The counters are extremely smooth and feel satiny. People are absolutely stunned whenever they touch them. We have relatives with concrete counters that say theirs do not feel that way.
The counters are actually 1 1/4 or 1 1/2" (I forgot which), but edges measure out at 2".

The island has a 6" overhang. It's 6" exactly otherwise the fridge would not open all the way.

The hood is 28" above the counter. I thought it might be low, but the fabricator insisted that it was appropriate with our grill (they do commercial restaurant hoods). I have to say we have absolutely no issues odor/smoke/grease wise. The baffles pop into the dishwasher.

The range falls below the countertops, but what you might not realize is that the countertops are 37" high. So....they probably didn't raise or lower anything (a hunch). Yes, the grills are just about flush with the countertops.

The freezer being in a separate location has been great for us. Layout wise, there was no way to put it side by side and I think it would've looked too massive for the size of that section of the kitchen.

The paper towel holder is something I picked up about five years ago at a Bed, Bath & Beyond.
