Butternut and Green

This kitchen remodel consolidated doorways and combined several smaller rooms to achieve a substantial and much more accessible kitchen.  Everything required a large scale and a variety of textures and materials to fill the room comfortably.  The hefty ceiling beams not only add rich millwork to the space, but also conceal the steel beam necessitated by the removal of a bearing wall.  Rustic distressed butternut cabinets pair with soapstone countertops, while a painted green island is topped with black walnut plank. The existing limestone floor in adjoining rooms was extended into the kitchen.  The metals that adorn the room include antique brass, English bronze, and copper.  Antique pendants complete the look for a style that speaks of an age gone by.
