Scouting Shots of a White Transitional Kitchen

So you'll notice right off the bat that these are not the highest quality photographs.  That's because I took them myself with my phone camera.  So please forgive the quality!  I posted a few pics earlier this fall of this kitchen in various stages of installation, so hopefully this will tie it all together and you'll get an idea of what the space turned out like.  

The defining feature of the kitchen is definitely the sink wall facing out onto the back yard.  We were unable to remove a soffit due to structural beams in the ceiling, so instead, we tiled the whole wall with herringbone mosaic carrara marble and the installed 3" thick floating shelves with LED puck lights.  

Another feature in this kitchen that is a bit unusual is the use of reclaimed Wyoming dairy barn wood for accent pieces on the back of the island and peninsula.  The gray tones work really well with the carrara marble and Caesarstone countertops.  I also really pushed for the waterfall edges on the ends of the island, and I am so glad the homeowners decided to go for it.

The floating shelves are 3" thick and have a small detail on the top and bottom edge.  I used 2-1/4" LED puck lights (3 on each side) as undercabinet lighting.  The pucks are aesthetically pleasing and provide for valuable light on the countertop surface, which is Frosty Carrina, by Caesarstone.

Progress of Our White Transitional Kitchen Remodel in Boulder

This transitional white kitchen is shaping up to be a proper space.  My clients have been incredibly great to work with, so I am excited about the fact that they will be using this kitchen in a few short weeks.   

We had a solid concept in the initial planning stages & I was very happy with the way things were drawn up....However, I think that now that the finishing items are being delivered and being installed I'm even more happy about the way it will turn out.  White cabinetry, white Caesarstone countertops and herringbone carrara are going to make this kitchen pop.  

Here are a few progress photos...and I'm happy to say AHEAD of schedule!  

The peninsula will house the 5 burner gas cooktop and downdraft.  The island will now be used solely for prep surface.  Previously, the island was almost unusable because the cooktop took up the entire surface.

The stainless steel farmhouse sink will provide a nice modern contrast to some rustic elements we are incorporating into the design

One thing that will really give this space a truly unique feel is the incorporation of some reclaimed barn wood that I found at Front Range Timber in Denver.  Love those guys.  They go to Wyoming and tear down old dairy farms, then repurpose the planks for projects such as ours...

Reclaimed barn wood will wrap the back of the island and the peninsula.

Here are a few pics of tile that we will be using in the space.

There will be a lot of work happening in the next two weeks in this space that will dramatically transform it.  I'll keep you posted!
