Classic Traditional Kitchen by Cheryl Hamilton-Gray

2011 NKBA Design Competition - People's Pick: Kitchen

Standout structural and decorative elements such as arched entryways and openings, exposed ceiling beams, and wrought iron fixtures with authentic detailing, set the tone for this hacienda style kitchen. Warm yellow tones throughout make this a sunny and comfortable, yet expansive kitchen. This is no ordinary space with meticulous attention to detail in the wall nichos to house cabinets, a cozy sitting area with a fireplace, a custom carved cabinets, refrigerator panel, and doors, reclaimed terracotta pavers and custom painted backsplash tile, as well as skylights situated between reclaimed wood ceiling beams. Requirements of the clients were fulfilled in a large preparation area for her, convenient access to the breakfast prep space for him, as well as an overall user-friendly approach for the children. A custom marble topped furniture piece opposite the clean up sink acts as a convenient partner to the baking area.
