Granites in Small Kitchens
Besides space limitations, the challenge in this first-place winning kitchen design was to re-create an area with Old World appeal for the kitchen and apartment of the clients' mother who had come to live with them. Layout and lighting had to also accommodate the elderly woman's failing vision. Recessed lighting overhead and undercabinet halogens from Hafele, brought illumination to critical areas such as the sink, countertops, and the tiled cooktop/oven area. Contributing to the country charm are painted and antiqued cabinets, distressed barn beams, a tongue-oiled wood floor, and butcher block countertops. Appliances such as the refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave are concealed behind wood panels. A farm sink and bronze-colored fixtures as well as wicker baskets for storage and an antique hanging chandelier add to the atmosphere.More resources:
