Classic Contemporary Kitchen by Jessica Williamson

2010 NKBA Design Competition - Small Kitchens: Second Place

This comfortable kitchen greets guests and family at the forefront of a Cape Cod home. A relaxed family environment was created in fluid complement to the Atlantic Ocean, which is viewed through windows running along the back of the home. Touches of blue-green ocean in the colored glass pulls, coupled with Island Knotty Alder with Cape Cod stain, incorporates soothing accents against the whitewashed landscape of the room. Pine flooring and reclaimed beech used for the island countertop both add a warm balance to the white in a kitchen that makes the most of the home's ocean view. The designer blended old with new, creating the relaxed vintage appeal that the clients wanted and so timelessly inherent to the region.
