Kitchen refrigerator wall

When a 20-year-old built-in refrigerator became irreparable, the clients decided to take the leap to a full remodel. Their requests included: separate zones for cooking and entertaining, staying consistent to the traditional style of the home, keeping true to their practical approach to living, and being environmentally responsible. The client’s desire to reuse their traditional furnishings makes this kitchen unique to their taste, reflecting their personal style. The request for zones led to re-configuring the existing footprint. Capturing space from a small pantry and an adjacent wet bar made room for the larger kitchen island with additional seating and a better flow for casual gatherings of family and friends. The seldom used built- in desk was replaced with a coffee bar and beverage center; now centrally located across from the island.
