Changing the direction of the wood grain can completely transform the look of a cabinet, as in this project. The custom wine room used quarter-sawn white oak with all panels in a vertical direction. The blue and white kitchen created a warm and inviting atmosphere, which reflects the home’s heart.
Before: Kitchen
Kitchen
Objective: Design an open-concept kitchen that flows freely into the dining area.
The pairing of soft blue and clean white sets the perfect tone for this heart of the home. Natural light pours into this space, making it warm and inviting. The open concept means everyone can stay connected from the kitchen to the dining room. The added desk, with a walnut top, along one wall of cabinets, provides a place to sit and jot down that grocery list or address that bill for the mail. A 2-and-a-half-inch marble countertop adds the perfect touch to this kitchen, and the glass front doors allow the homeowners to display some of their favorite kitchen pieces. This space also provides ample storage for everything you need to cook those delicious meals everyone enjoys.
Wine Room
Objective: Create a wine room that can store and display wine functionally and elegantly.
The warm white oak wood against black trim and edging produced a stunning contrast in this unique wine room. Vertical grain is not a common choice for homeowners, but one that creates an amazing finished product. Two backlit panels highlight the wine bottle displays elegantly while keeping them stored safely. There is also lighting hidden behind the trim, providing additional lighting so that no bottle goes unnoticed. Glass shelves complete the look and help add a modern touch to the overall design. The wine cooler is at the center of it all, which ensures that the beverages are always ready to pour for family and friends.
Home Interior
Objective: Transform multiple areas in the home to represent the homeowner’s style.
