Your Tailored Kitchen Awaits
With the use of black cabinets this larger kitchen space rises to meet the challenge of the picturesque window views. And the light natural wood tones are brought inside through the use of the magnificent wood beams and light floors, offering earthy tones to blend with the dramatic use of the sophisticated black cabinetry.
The kitchen island is customized with standard mouldings and built-in shelves and the Merit Kitchens Ethos door style in Maple, stained in Seaside Timberwood.
Adding the same black cabinets and wall slats from the kitchen design to both sides of the fireplace help create flow through the entire living space. The custom finished cabinets and oak shelves offer versatility in storage, beauty and coziness, and continuity.
The use of matching cabinets in the bathroom provides the cohesive flow into the main floor bathroom, adding delightful drama to the guests’ interior design experience.
Staining the bathroom cabinets in Seaside Timberwood, the homeowners chose the warmth of natural woods in the ensuite. What a great way to add to the natural serenity from outside each morning.
The finer details:
The custom floating oak kitchen shelves and the large farmhouse sink add warmth to the stack of standard kitchen cabinets in the corner, with the striking faucet helping to play off the classic design twist, this edgy abode is a slice of balance, sophistication and paradise along the Westcoast shores of British Columbia.
