These homeowners wanted to make their addition feel more united with the original home. The new vaulted ceiling and cathedral style windows bring tons of natural light & beauty, so we opened up the kitchen to let it in!
This was such a fun project, and I'm so excited to share it with you here. These folks have a historic farmhouse outside of town, with a beautifully landscaped backyard full of native plants that backs up to the woods behind the house. They dreamed up a breathtaking family room as an addition to the home. The design has full walls of picture windows and each side and massive cathedral windows in the center, to bring more of that natural beauty inside. As they built the addition, though, they realized that the original kitchen felt too closed off and separate from the new area.
That's where I came in!
We tore out the kitchen wall, and opened up the counter window above the sink to bring the two rooms together. We also created a gorgeous quartz countertop that wraps all the way around into the family room. On that side, we added a hosting cabinet that shows off the couple's bourbon collection. The two rooms now flow into each other naturally.
We used stained wood cabinets throughout the project, to coordinate with the show-stopping wooden ceiling. And the soft grey subway tile backsplash polishes off the design, without distracting from the focal points.
Finally, just to point out a couple other special touches... The under-lighting on the lower cabinets is a unique way to brighten up an inner room of the home. And the built-in microwave drawer helps keep the elegant stone countertop spacious uncluttered.
