Soapstone and Chrome

This kitchen hearkens back to a classic thirties sensibility, while utilizing twenty-first century technology. A graceful simplicity is at work here. Four elements dominate the design, to create a powerful, yet warm statement; smooth white cabinetry and tile, dark cool tones and subtle textures of soapstone and slate, shiny stainless steel and chrome, all set off with mustard tinged walls and ceilings. All of this makes a great background for accessorizing with brighter colors.
Inset doors, cove crown moulding, and period hardware, work together to capture the look of this period.
We recessed a large box into the ceiling to create a more spacious feeling, and make it possible to bathe the kitchen in diffused light. Additional task lighting is provided where needed.
