This custom new-build kitchen was designed to be the heart of the home. Designer Stephanie Pohlman Designs blended old and new styles to create a cozy, welcoming feel. Arched openings flank the statement plaster range hood. The space behind each arched opening serves as an additional prep space. On the right is a walk-in pantry with white oak cabinetry, and on the left is a butler’s pantry. The plaster hood along with the white oak beams and custom aged-brass fixtures are just a few of the Old World touches the designer incorporated.

This home, designed by William Bernoudy and finished in 1971, has been remodeled several times, but new owners had plans for a full renovation working with Gegg Design & Cabinetry. The original design had an indoor pool along with some unique details and features, and the kitchen was buried in an interior space with just one small window. Renovations made by previous owners removed portions of walls, but the kitchen space was still odd and disconnected.

A young, hardworking couple requested that Chelsea Design Company transform their kitchen into a bright, classic space ideal for entertaining and cooking. The original kitchen had a U-shaped peninsula and tiny center island. The space wasn’t ideal for entertaining as it was secluded from the dining and living rooms. Chelsea Design Company removed existing soffits, widened the entry from the dining room and extended the wall separating the living room from the kitchen, which created a grand symmetrical moment at the stove wall.

Accent on Cabinets was challenged to create a kosher kitchen for their client, which typically needs more space because Kosher requires you to keep meat and dairy separate. The original kitchen was approximately 250 square feet, but the designer more than doubled the space. A scullery was added to meet the demanding needs of Kosher guidelines and accommodate large family gatherings. A wall from the kithcen to the family room was knocked down, and the powder room was moved to a different location.

Castle Design created a timeless white palette mixed with subtle hints of black in this kitchen remodel. To infuse an element of excitement the designer chose to incorporate black for an instant dash of chic. The beautiful quartz material seen throughout the room provides a range of soft black veining that adds pattern and visual interest. The mixed metal custom range hood is the focal point of the kitchen and features steel-and-brass details. Edgy brass counter stools at the island continue the brass look. Above the island hang two glass globe pendants from Savoy House.

This newly renovated kitchen is influenced by the elegance and charm of traditional American architecture. Designed by Castle Design and MDG Renovations, the kitchen features unique craftsmanship with raised-panel cabinetry, an intricate coffered ceiling and ironwork accents. Inspired by the home’s grand staircase, hand-forged iron brackets flank the custom built-in hood. Perfectly proportioned casework and cabinetry set the tone for the space. The design team was challenged to create a space that flowed nicely while also making the new kitchen feel more open.
