White and Espresso Kitchen
This transitional kitchen in a new construction home mixes the perfect balance of traditional and modern elements to achieve a relaxed but elegant kitchen for this busy family. The ten foot ceiling presented a design challenge, but we were able to create a built-in look without the added expense of installing cabinetry all of the way to the ceiling. This was acheived by bringing the cabinets to the 8 foot height, and then the builder created a seamless soffit above and finished it with matching crown molding throughout. White painted frameless cabinets on the perimeter and an espresso finish on the island provide a contrast to the medium-toned hardwood floors and the subtle gray paint on the walls.
