This is a snapshot of a kitchen I just finished in Greenwood Village. The perimeter cabinetry is matte white; the island cabinetry is what's called a "rub-through black". The owners wanted to incorporate brick into the kitchen to tie into the 20' fireplace in the great room which opens up off of the island. A thin brick veneer was applied to the back of the range wall. The herringbone inlay behind the range adds character to the detail. The arched window is something I added into the architectural plans before the house had even been approved for construction. (originally, the sink was in a corner and the range was off center sort of pushed off into a corner - terrible!) Anyway, we fixed the layout early enough in the process. The island has comfortable seating for this family of five and there is a buffet area that connects the kitchen to the breakfast nook (not shown in picture). Integrated appliances by Thermador. Countertops are polished white carrara marble.
My photographer will take photos of this project in February
