The owner of this Wauwatosa home desired more than a remodeled kitchen. They wanted to replace their cluttered, semi-claustrophic space with a vision imported from 5,000 miles away. Yes, a complete renewal.
The resulting Mediterranean design was a complete transformation. The new arched ceiling overlooks a new tile floor, range hood, exterior French doors and lots of counter space.
Our cabinetry was a key element in the owner’s plan. Rather than traditional built-in structures, they opted for the warmer feel of a furniture look. Each piece has turned feet at the bottom, reinforcing the Mediterranean feel. The red oak cabinets have inset doors and drawers. Everything about them, right down to the distressed finish, fits into the Italian seaside ambiance.
Beyond aesthetics, though, we designed the cabinetry around the homeowner’s specific needs. The concrete countertops – and one marble top – greatly expand work space. The cook top features usable cabinet space and a wall oven. A waste center drawer has two bins which quickly disappear.
