Story:
Before: A modern Valcucine kitchen that, although striking, did not fit the owner’s style.
After: This new kitchen is visually intriguing at every turn. When guests arrive, they feel welcomed and want to remain long after dinner has been finished.
Hightlights:
- Dark soapstone countertops provide visual contrast to white cabinetry and compliment the dark walnut elements at the island and wine cabinet
- LED under cabinet lighting
- Miele appliances, Franke sink, and Dornbracht faucet
- Well-planned lighting design with Lutron controlled lighting system
- Locally crafted and custom built inset cabinetry
- Crisp white beveled subway tile backsplash
- Walnut wine cabinets with dual Sub Zero wine refrigerators
- Massive walnut island for prep work and entertaining that connects the kitchen to the other living areas
- Open feel between kitchen and breakfast table with expansive view overlooking Lake Calhoun
- Contemporary and traditional cabinetry hardware combine to not only add function but style throughout
- Air switch for garbage disposal and insta-hot water system
