I am delighted to see my cabinet design come to fruition in this transitional style kitchen remodel. I love mixing old with new, and that is how the transitional aesthetic is defined. It's a mix of traditional and modern that does not lock you into one or the other style.
To begin with:
The wall between the kitchen and dining room was taken out to create a contemporary open floorplan.
Seating space was not compromised by adding an island and keeping the eat-in kitchen.
Sliding glass doors on each end of the expansive kitchen access the outdoor living space.
The window above the original sink was left in place to keep the space light and bright.
These good bones of the kitchen were the base on which to start adding the traditional and modern elements.
The traditional elements:
Cabinets are timeless with the wide rail, grooved edge profile, five piece drawer fronts and decorative crown molding reaching to the ceiling.
The decorative hood with arched top is a strong traditional statement amongst the vast amount of cabinetry.
Mosaic, marble, basketweave backsplash has remained classic for decades and adds a dynamic backdrop for this space.
The modern elements:
Turning this space from traditional to transitional are the addition of modern round chandeliers above the island.
This prevailing modern element works so well with the soft line of the arched hood and round stools.
Idyllic transitional colors of gray, white and taupe are soft and create a cohesive space .
Other little details make a big impact:
The faucet makes a transitional statement as well by blending modern and traditional lines.
Modern, straight, black cabinet pulls are functional choice atop the traditional cabinets.
Premium appliances are a must in any highly functional and stylish kitchen.
I think this kitchen is a perfect mix of traditional and modern making it an excellent example of the transitional style. Stay tuned next week as I introduce a new line of cabinetry!
