I absolutely love this design. Cabinetry won’t be arriving until the fall [thanks COVID], but in the meantime, I’m sharing the design concept + material selections below!
Large Hicks Pendant in Polished Nickel, Quantity: 3
The necessary nautical touch to this classic New England kitchen. These will for sure be the focal point of the space.
Boston Library Light in Polished Nickel, Quantity: 3
Sconces over a wide kitchen window are a must. We are doing a triple casement window, so there will be one centered on each pane!
Cabinet Maker’s Picture Light in Polished Nickel, Quantity: 2
One of the first things you see when entering the home is a long shiplap wall that runs along the island. I’d love to add some framed black + white family photos here. A simple way to elevate a photo wall is to add picture lights above each frame. This fixture is one of my favorites for this application!
Riviera Counter Stool in Navy/White, Quantity: 4
My client had her eye on these + I couldn’t argue! OPT. SWIVEL MODEL HERE. I love that they introduce some color into the space. However, it is a narrow aisle, so these sister stools are a safer choice.
4″ Vernon Bin Pull in Polished Nickel, Quantity: 21
One of my favorites! These will be installed on all drawers.
Massey Cabinet Knob in Polished Nickel, Quantity: 20
Another timeless choice for hardware. These will be installed on all doors.
3×12 Strait Ceramic Subway Tile in White, Quantity: 9 boxes [Order a single box first to make sure you like it. If so, come back here to order 8 additional boxes].
We are going to the ceiling with tile in this kitchen, so our selection couldn’t be too busy, but naturally – not too boring! This handmade tile is a fun twist on a classic subway. It will add texture + dimension to the space.
*Please also order 9 pieces of the .6×12 Ceramic Tile Trim in White to finish off those exposed ends!*
Ikon 11×11 Picture Frame in White, Quantity: 2
Family photos are important to my clients + this is the perfect way to display them. I love the oversized mat + overall 25″ square size. They’ll look amazing below the picture lights.
Artifacts Pot Filler in Polished Nickel
I mean…. are words necessary?
Whitehaven 36″ Apron-Front Sink in White
This apron-front is my ultimate go-to. The self-trimming feature makes install a breeze + the offset drain is so much better for interior storage! Don’t forget to match your strainer [or flange/stopper if you have a garbage disposal] to your faucet finish.
Artifacts Touchless Pull-Down Faucet in Polished Nickel
If you’re looking for a traditional pull-down faucet in polished nickel, this collection hands-down gets you the most for your dollar.
Another go-to for my bars, islands + pantries! No matter your faucet finish, a stainless sink always gets a stainless strainer [or flange/stopper if you have a garbage disposal].
Artifacts Bar Faucet in Polished Nickel
I can’t get over the cuteness of this bar faucet. Also available with a side-spray!
Vintage Disposal Button in Polished Nickel
My client purchased this garbage disposal for their main sink, so we decided on this traditional disposal button. Disposal buttons are counter-mounted buttons that activate your garbage disposal. They’re much prettier than a wall switch! This style is available only through dealers, but here is a similar option.
The first thing I noticed about this refrigerator was the handle style. Not quite sure why, but I am fully obsessed.
Pro tip: Thermador is owned by Bosch. As you can see from this handle style [same as the fridge above], you can mix + match Thermador [high-end] + Bosch [mid-range] pieces with a congruent look!
This is the panel-ready model, meaning it comes naked [no stainless door] + I order a custom wood panel that gets applied to the front. This way, it blends right in with the cabinetry!
This 18″ wide beverage fridge was a perfect fit for the wet bar. It has two full-extension wine racks + flexible space on top for alllllll the drinks + garnishes.
My holy grail microwave for small spaces! This kitchen is NARROW. Our microwave cubby is only ~15″ deep. This micro only needs 13″ of depth + is still 1.1 cu. ft. with a turntable! I think my excitement about this makes me a design nerd. #sorrynotsorry
Crystal Cabinetry Inset in “Designer White” [Biscayne Door]
I’m definitely an inset, shaker snob. It’s New England’s fault, not mine!
IQ Calacatta Zoya Quartz 3cm
So perfect for this kitchen! This will be installed on the island, perimeter + wet bar.
3″ American Black Walnut End Grain 1-3/4″ Offset Square
Pro tip: do ANYTHING to avoid a countertop seam in an island. This island is too long for a single quartz slab, so we added butcher block on the end! I love the character this adds to a kitchen.
Shiplap
There’s existing shiplap on the living room walls. Since we’re removing the wall between the kitchen + living room, it only makes sense to run this wall treatment throughout the kitchen as well!
Oak Hardwood
The flooring in 90% of the homes I enter, this will be ran throughout the kitchen + stained to match the surrounding rooms.
That’s all for today! What do you think? I can’t wait to see this space completed!
