Contemporary Charm
Location: Short Hills, NJ
Overview
The clients behind this great kitchen are a woman who enjoys cooking and her veterinarian husband. They report looking forward to eating breakfast together in this kitchen—one that didn’t follow the usual development timeline. Abbey’s was brought in as consultant for the kitchen portion of an addition to the couple’s home. Typically, kitchen plans are completed first, in this case the whole addition space had been planned first and kitchen within it came second.
Challenges
Making the colors work was an involved process. Fourteen different door stain samples were created until the right custom color was achieved. The vaulted ceiling called for tying in cabinetry lines in such a way as to avoid an abrupt visual transition.
Notes
Special aspects include two ovens for greater flexibility. The iele oven is used for smaller meals. A Daycor professional range adds to the overall cooking capacity.
