Main floor

Kitchen & butler's pantry

The kitchen came with black cabinets, a granite waterfall island and a pair of lantern pendants. We kept the footprint and rebuilt everything inside it: Tiger Cabinetry flat-slab white oak in Oslo Oak with black bar pulls, a waterfall island in Taj Mahal-look quartz that seats four, a black sink, and full-height quartz behind the range and the wet bar.

The kitchen island head on: a quartz waterfall top, four black-framed counter stools, five alabaster globe pendants and oak cabinetry either side of a white hood.

The far end of the kitchen became a butler's pantry for the coffee station and a second refrigerator, beside the back door to the courtyard deck, so the working side of the kitchen stays out of sight. Five alabaster globes hang over the island in one line.

What we did

  • Flat-slab white oak cabinetry (Oslo Oak) with black bar pulls
  • Taj Mahal-look quartz waterfall island, splash and wet bar
  • Paneled column refrigerator, beverage fridge and ice maker in one wall
  • Butler's pantry with coffee station
  • Five alabaster globe pendants
  • Back entry with a bench, a round mirror and stone sconces
