Buffalo Waterfront Condo
Frequent entertainers, this large New York family
wanted special attention paid to making their new kitchen
both stylish and especially welcoming for their guests, so
they hired Julie Deuble of Artisan Kitchens & Baths at
Appliance Associates.
In addition to the logistical issues of working in a
high-rise, some of Deuble’s biggest challenges came with
incorporating appliances, such as properly venting the
48-inch pro-style range. To integrate several large appliances
into the relatively small space while maintaining a seamless
appearance, she included custom panels over the refrigerator,
dishwasher drawers, and refrigerator drawers. She then
housed a microwave and a TV in identical wall cabinets.
Since the kitchen opens to the living room, Deuble
needed to design it as a space to be shown, not hidden. To
achieve this, custom details were included throughout, such
as a table-style peninsula with decorative
legs, three-stage crown molding, mullion
doors, an entertainment center with wine
and liquor storage, and a desk designed to
match the cabinetry. Well-thoughtout
details such as the push-to-open
hardware on the peninsula’s full-height
cabinet doors provided the finishing
touches to this showcase-worthy space.
