with design and materials fromvillage home stores. like manyin our area the original kitchen included awall that divided the kitchenfrom the dining area. this wall not only crowded thekitchen, but it blocked a lotof great light from enteringinto the space. now in the location where thewall once stood is a peninsulaof cabinetry and countertop that has quicklybecome a favorite place forvisiting grandchildren. this large work surface isperfect for many tasks. nomatter who is using the kitchen orwhat they're doing engineeredquartz counters are always anexcellent choice. this quartz is called "sierramadre" and is from our silestone quartz line. engineered quartzis non porous and it's alsoconsidered
a food safe surface. the use ofsilestone quartz in this kitchen adds an additional piece ofmind because it includesbacteriostatic protection. bacteriostatic protection meansthat silver ions are included in the quartz during themanufacturing. these silverions prevent the propagation of of bacteria. can't you justpicture a group ofgrandchildren all gathered at this quartz countertop makingchristmas cookies? an outlethas been installed at the very end of thispeninsula. this is perfect forsmall appliances or even a laptop to be plugged in whenthe peninsula is being used asa desk surface. with all of those guests and abright new space to enjoy thesehomeowners better
stock up on some snacks.there's plenty of places tostore them on this wall of cabinetry. fresh foodstorage can be found on thisnew counter-depth french-door kitchenaidrefrigerator. an interior waterdispenser and ice maker below eliminatesthe need for an indoor waterand ice unit. that would take up a lot ofspace in the counter-depthmodel like this. next to that refrigerator is awide pantry cabinet that hasbeen fit with three adjustableheight sliding trays and a stationaryshelf above. the trays are a very versatile way to usethe space and allow the useraccess to see everything within. we love the addition ofthese baskets to these wideshelves.
the top section of this widepantry is another excellentstorage area. at 24 inches deep this area isperfect for storing bulk itemsor small appliances. believe it ornot this tall pantry cabinet is not the only pantry in thenew kitchen. just down the wall is a walk through pantry frontthat has been installed in thecorner with a glass doordisplay cabinet to the right. a door front hasbeen ordered to match the"seneca briarwood" rustic beech cabinetry of therest of the kitchen. thispantry front and 2 end panels were used toassemble the corner pantry area. walk through pantry fronts arefantastic because you can trulycustomize the shelving
behind them anyway you wouldlike. this customer installed amotion sensor light on the interior ofthe pantry so that when thedoors open the lights turn on, and after just a few minutesthe lights automatically turnoff. while we didn't do any of theinstall work for this kitchenwe knew the project was in goodhands by a very skilled carpenter. hewas able to build somebeautiful shelving inside of the pantry usingextra flooring and some trim.the display cabinet to the right of this pantryalso got the custom treatment.behind the mullioned glass doors are shelves used todisplay glassware. with lighting installed in thetop of this cabinet how does itmanage to light up the lowestshelf?
the center section of eachfinished shelf has been routedout to accommodate tempered glassinserts. this keeps the solidlook of the wood shelf, but allows the light topass through and displayeverything inside. the main prep are of thiskitchen is jam packed withgreat storage cabinetry. the corner of the peninsulaincludes a lazy susan cabinet. this cabinet grants access tothe entire corner area of thekitchen. notice that there is no centerpole to the lazy susan design.instead a fixed center shelf has asusan tray resting directly onit. to the right of this cornercabinet is a space designatedto store baking sheets and
cutting boards. instead of theexpected metal or wood divider a slide-out tray divider has beeninstalled. the walls of thistray are nice and tall so that nothing tumbles outwhen you pull the unit forward.this same cabinet can be used for storing lidsnear a pots and pans area.pull-out waste baskets have officiallymoved from the specialtycabinetry category and are now expected in almostall kitchen designs. we rarelydesign a kitchen that doesn't include one. manytime we're even including morethan one. the double bin option allowsyou to sort recyclables fromwaste at the time your cleaning up. at the veryend of this peninsula is astack of drawers
maximized for storage. the topsection of a wide-drawer stackcan be ordered with 2 top drawers inplace of 1. wooden flatwaredividers have even been installed into one ofthese top drawers to keep thesilverware sorted. deep drawers below offerversatile storage space. mixingbowls below and food storage items are all withinreach of the peninsula worksurface. speaking of drawers on eitherside of the whirlpool range arestacks of drawers. were finding that many of ourclients love the convenience ofimmediate access to items in a drawer in place of openingdoors and pulling out a shelf. pots and pans, towels, andutensils are all within reachof the cooking center of thisnew
kitchen. in the cooking centerof this new kitchen the whirlpool range also has alot to brag about for storage.with 6.2 cubic foot of oven capacityit includes space for up to 3racks within. fan convection at the back ofthe unit allows you to use thatspace to it's fullest potential. with the fanconvection distributing theheat within the oven cavity all three racks can beused at once. this fan also gives the clients therapid preheat option.pre-heating 21% faster. we wouldn't want tojust show you the storagecabinets without giving you a full lookat this gorgeous new space.
some of our other favoritedetails from this kitcheninclude fluted columns oneither side of the microwave hood, hand scraped hickoryhardwood flooring, and a customchalkboard area. this handy homeowner useda long magnetic chalkboard panel and installedit on the wall next to therefrigerator. he had us order some matchingfiller strips and a piece ofundercabinet molding for thebottom. imagine other areas of yourkitchen that could be great fora chalkboard command center like this.inside of a pantry, on the endof a refrigerator panel or even a panel of a cabinetdoor. the hickory hardwoodflooring is from our hallmark collection. the"sagebrush" finish is theperfect compliment

gives you a harder materialsimilar to a granite. perfectfor this project white macoubus is known forit's white tone background andthe linear gray veining shown from side toside. the same material can becut and processed differently for avaried grain. because of thisthe name changes. when a factory processes themacoubus on a perpendicular, they call it calacattamacaubus. this is because itgives it a more marbled look. the new design includes wallovens, an electric cooktop with a canopy hood above and asink and dishwasher at this endof the kitchen. on the opposite side a 29 cubicfoot french door refrigerator,
