French Impressive

more than 400 sq. ft

Drawing Inspiration

The design by Marc Christian Fine Cabinetry was driven by both functionality and the homeowner's wish to stay true to the French Country look of their home. Details on cabinetry, wood panels on appliances, hutches and carved columns achieve the appearance of freestanding furniture. The large hutch serves as a staging area for entertaining while its custom antique iron door inserts add to the French Country charm.

Functional Frills

Separate areas are designated by function. The cooking area houses the range, warming drawer, steamer and microwave. The cleanup area has an under-mount sink and two 30" Dacor dishwashers. Two SubZero 736 units allow for easy access from all areas.

The Winning Point

A massive 114" all stone hood is the focal point of the room. With a professional 48" Wolf range below, this kitchen is cooking. The outer island houses a farm sink and ice maker for entertaining.

Judges' Comments

"I love the stone hood area. And it's only accentuated by the stone-chiseled detailing on the island. It's a great space for entertaining, with nice aesthetics and beautiful French Country detailing."
