Kitchen & Bath Month: Our Favorite Kitchen Spaces

So Many Kitchen Designs

There is an unlimited number of choices when it comes to designing kitchens. From backsplashes and colors to cabinetry and countertops, there are so many different combinations that come together to create beautiful spaces. In honor of National Kitchen and Bath Month, here is a look at some of our favorite kitchen spaces that we’ve completed!

Vue Sarasota Condo

You’ll find illuminated natural quartz crystal countertops, custom electronic touch-to-open cabinets, and other state-of-the-art features in the magnificent kitchen where we tried to take advantage of as much usable space as possible without it looking too crowded.

We utilized a rift cut white oak and a back-painted white glass with a matte finish, which is a little different from what you typically see with matte-painted glass doors. The countertop is a combination of a couple of different types of stones. One is a leather finish, almost a slate-type granite. It has a very deep leather pattern to it that sparkles once the light catches it just right.

There are also built-in integrated refrigerators and freezers, as well as an integrated wine cooler with a glass door, all paneled with the same cabinetry panels to blend.

Sea Gate Condo

For this kitchen, we wanted to update the design element to a new glass mosaic tile that brought in some of the blue tones from the ocean that’s right outside the window. We also brought in a concrete look to the cabinets. The concrete style is part of a two-tone look with dark gray on the lower cabinets and some of the tall cabinets, and then white on the upper cabinets. We combined that with that blue glass tile backsplash, again, to bring in that look of the water into the space.

Then to help keep the space from feeling too cold, we added some wood elements with the floating shelves and a little wood countertop area over the wine cooler, which serves a dual purpose as a charcuterie board built into the kitchen.

Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club

Solid wood cabinets in a triangular kitchen layout became Cabico Custom Cabinetry in this open kitchen layout. The kitchen lowers, hood, coffee bar shelves have a hollow white finish. The kitchen tall cabinets, uppers, and pantry have a walnut grove textured faux wood finish.

The countertop is quartz with Statuario, a flow of veins across a white snow background. The backsplash is a glossy ceramic tile. The new range remained roughly in the same location.

Laurel Oaks Country Club

This kitchen is a bi-colored Elmwood kitchen using Elmwood’s 3D textured faux melamines as well as their high-gloss white diamond-gloss paint on the flat-face cabinets throughout the area. This kitchen has all of your bells and whistles from your dividers above the oven, your roll-out shelves and pantries, and drawer systems underneath the oven.

On one side of the counter, there’s a wine cooler. We had a frame made by Elmwood to match the cabinetry on the wine cooler to give it an integrated appearance. We also used a Sub-Zero integrated refrigerator. The countertops in this kitchen are a combination of a brown silk quartzite, which you can see on the island and the cooktop areas, and a manmade quartz that we utilized for the seating area.

Sarasota Heights

With this specific project, it was basically an updating in place remodel. We updated the cabinetry with Cabico Custom Cabinetry, specifically their Unique Series. The cabinets on the perimeter of the space, which include the new profile fridge and wine cooler, have a white Regola Gloss finish.

The cabinetry making up the center island has a brown-tone Maria Gloss finish. Perusing through the cabinetry, you’ll find new spice pullouts, utensil pullouts, adjustable utensil drawers, tiered silverware inserts, and trash pullouts. There are so many more storage options now than before where there was just the one wall of cabinets.

Dark gray veining against a bright, white background to match the white cabinets make up the quartz countertops. Adding to this Greylac quartz on the island is an accent top jutting out from one end that is a gray stone piece called Marengo. The backsplash consists of Steel Gray mosaic tiles. These lighter tones and finishes definitely help to make the already open kitchen feel much more open and comfortable.
