How Goals Were Accomplished:
New cabinetry is built from Honduran Mahogany to flow with existing Rosewood furniture & a Wenge inlay detail is fitted to all door & drawer panels to create a tie to a new 1 ½” Wenge floor inlay. New & existing hardwood floor areas are sanded & re-finished lighter to off set the deep, rich furniture grade cabinetry.
New Blue Eyes granite slab countertops (gray tone) provide ties to black marble in family room & gloss black staircase. New low-voltage lighting above island & kitchen sink with luminescent blue globes provide cooling tie to lake view through kitchen & nook windows. These additions complement the slate blue & black trimmed bar stools.
Kitchen sink bay window is enlarged to enhance the lake view. See picture showing the view out of the kitchen sink window.
“Reed” glass cabinet doors are utilized with low-voltage hockey pucks to create an elegant, mood enhancing ambiance.
