Inspired by the client’s fond memories of her childhood home, the design captures a warm, sun-soaked, and welcoming atmosphere. Think the working kitchen of an English manor—handmade zellige tiles, exposed brass hinges on cabinetry, and a wall-mounted sink—all coming together in a timeless yet approachable way. A calming powder blue color palette keeps things fresh and elegant while blending seamlessly with modern functionality.
At the heart of this kitchen is a custom-matched powder blue La Cornue range, perfectly anchoring the space and complementing the English manor vibe. The custom oak island steals the show with brass keyhole drawers, a mix of open and closed storage, and brass mesh inserts in the root vegetable drawers for airflow—proof that practicality can be beautiful.
Other standout details include a classic farmhouse-style sink with a high back that doubles as a gorgeous focal point, and an open bank of shelves by the window—ideal for displaying frequently used kitchenware, cookbooks, or a few favorite plants. Custom cabinetry in powder blue, paired with timeless hardware, creates a cohesive and elegant look, while durable Matarazzo quartzite/dolomite Italian countertops provide plenty of workspace without sacrificing style.
The cozy dining area is just as thoughtful, featuring a built-in niche for storage and a stunning ribbed brass pendant that adds sparkle and sophistication. This kitchen, recognized with a NARI Gold, ASID Design Excellence award, and a Luxe RED award, proves that thoughtful design can make a space truly unforgettable—while also creating a home the family genuinely loves spending time in.
