Walnut Wood Conveys Class

Kitchen Remodel Project –

Objective:  Design an elegant kitchen that blends several colors and materials into a unified design that is functional and fabulous at the same time. Designer – KBL Kitchen & Bath

Blue continues to remain a popular color choice for two-toned kitchens. This lovely shade adds a sense of elegance and luxury to this entire area, and when it is paired with walnut, it truly becomes stunning. The paint color is listed with the photos.

Kitchen Perimeter

This kitchen remodel is filled with amazing features that provide the homeowner with everything they need to go about their daily routine with ease.  This allows them to be pulled out for use and neatly stored away afterward. There is also a wine bar hidden behind tall glass front doors with beautiful mullions, which give access when needed. The walnut butcher block counter is the perfect pairing for the blue island, and the decorative feet by Architectural Justice complete the look. This kitchen is nothing short of stunning and will continue to serve the homeowners for years to come. There is also a custom desk nearby that is the perfect spot to write a quick list or get some work done from home.
