Cottage Classic


With so much functional storage, this is like having a great piece of furniture for the kitchen.

BUILT TO SUIT

1 Created from economical paint-grade poplar, this custom-made island has a simple face that belies its hardworking features. A butcher-block top makes for a sturdy, resilient prep surface for chopping vegetables or slicing bread.

2 Open shelving on both ends of the island creates a home for cookbooks and decorative accents. White paint and beaded-board paneling lend cheerful cottage style.

Culinary Delight


This oasis was created for the top-notch gas range and hood. Now it’s a dream kitchen.

CRÉME DE LA CRÉME

1 Custom cherry cabinets with classic raised-panel doors wear a rich chocolate brown finish.

2 Quartz countertops are more durable than unimproved stone—they resist both heat and scratches. The two levels of countertops allow family members or guests to join you while you cook without getting splashed or sprayed.

3 The cabinets accommodate a dual-fuel slide-in stainless steel range, which includes a black porcelain cooktop and cast-iron grates.
