The Elegance of
Arcadia
This sophisticated kitchen,
a fresh, open design features cool, elegant Arcadia cabinetry in a
subtle Eggshell finish. The space
is highlighted by a spacious island which provides breakfast bar seating at one
end and a cooking center at the other. One
wall features tall glass-doored wall cabinets with added drawers that were set
directly atop base cabinets to achieve the look of a custom breakfront, complete
with dramatic interior lighting to showcase collectibles.
At each side of the breakfront, the designer installed tall cabinets for
balance, including a utility cabinet with a built-in double ovens, accented with
fluting on its clipped corners.
The
refrigerator and dishwasher, fitted with matching custom panels, blend
seamlessly into the run of cabinetry, and the elegant moulding that crowns the
cabinetry continues around the entire room for a perfectly finished look.
On the foyer side of the island, an open cabinet with an arched valance
provides visual interest as well as storage.
To the left, a low
cabinet housing the microwave oven is topped with a bookcase featuring clipped
fluted corners and an arched valance.
