I recently had the privilege of designing and project managing a lovely kitchen remodeling project for some very dear friends. They had patiently waited for many years to redo their kitchen and the time was finally right. I have the joy of working with a very talented group of people without whom this project would not be possible.
I am afraid the photos do not do this project justice as it is gorgeous in person. The cabinets are all painted a dark charcoal gray and the island and accents behind the glass doors are a very dark red. The upper and lower cabinets are painted the same color although the lower cabinets appear lighter in the photos.
Our sample door and pretty cabinet foot for the plate rack hutch.
The colors are a bit more accurate in this photo. You can see the wine cooler and microwave drawer in the island from this angle near the garage door.
Notice the outlet on the trash pullout end of the island near the sink. So handy!
Take a look at the range hood detail here and the beautiful tile work.
The homeowners specifically asked for our cabinetmaker to build this utensil storage drawer next to the range.
This is the view from the back door. The glass cabinet with three sides of glass was quite the problem-solver for an awkward corner.
Notice the craftsmanship on the fluted corners and furniture base detail on the sink peninsula.
We even built in a bit of shallow storage under the bar stools.
Bar area and seating
Intricate herringbone tile backsplash in the bar area is a nice touch.
Long view to the back door
Across the family room from the kitchen, we painted the bookcases and this was a photo during that process. I will add a finished photo soon.

I will be in trouble for this photo of my contractor, but I am ok with that.
Our cabinetmaker color matching the paint samples. (I asked for it to be a bit darker.)
Our crack cabinet-making team on one of the many installation days.
Forget the schedules you imagine on HGTV. Building kitchens is a lot of hard, time-consuming work.
I can't thank my amazing team enough for all their hard work and dedication to excellence. They are consummate professionals who never fail to deliver and don't let egos get in the way of a beautiful job and a pleased homeowner. They make my job almost easy. My apologies if I have left out a name.
