Traditional Kitchen with a View!
This kitchen was for a residential builder’s own home. The family had lived in the home he built himself for 21 years but realized a year ago that the kitchen was dated and they decided to turn to a kitchen expert to update it. After meeting with Fabrice Garson from Bilotta’s Mamaroneck showroom they came up with a design that was as functional as it was beautiful. They went from a cherry paneled kitchen to a painted one – the only thing they kept the same, and unobstructed, is the magnificent view from the dining nook. They selected Bilotta’s custom line, the Bilotta Collection Cabinetry with Super White paint on the perimeter and Baltic Grey on the island with Grigio Verona marble tops from Eastern Stone. The backsplash is made up of three different glass tiles, the Oceanside Collection from Walker Zanger. In order to break up the expansive space, Fabrice designed a drop ceiling that is a mirror image of the island below in the same Baltic Grey paint. The cobalt blue glass light fixtures are from Euro Lighting, and the table and chairs from Tom Faulkner, a custom furniture shop in England. The custom hood is wood in Baltic Grey with brushed stainless inserts. Directly across from it in one direction is the sink, a stainless steel farmhouse; in the other direction is a focal point of the room – the glass front cabinets where the client displays her beautiful hand blown glass pieces. Fabrice also added a desk area where the client can check her emails while having coffee – this area is accented with beautiful silver checkered wall paper.
