With amazing view of the intracoastal waters, a Tequesta, Fla. home had much of what its new owners were looking for. But the couple, who run a catering company together, purchased it knowing that they would need to renovate the kitchen. With input from the clients, Waterview Kitchens took the space from traditional and outdated with Thermofoil cabinets that were too small for the ceiling height to a transitional chef’s kitchen that features Key West style and a fun palette.
Although not completely closed off, the original kitchen layout blocked sightlines and water views.
A large island was the must-have feature to open the chef’s kitchen to easy entertaining.
With the same lower cabinet door style and a penny tile backsplash in a color that matches the one in the kitchen, the dry bar seamlessly integrates with the space. The upper cabinets have glass doors that reflect the water outside.
The matte-black pot filler adds a touch of masculinity to the beachy style.
Convenient storage for spices was top on this list for this cooking-friendly chef’s kitchen.
Formerly separated by a floating wall, the kitchen and living room now feature an open concept with great views everywhere.
Coordinating with the kitchen cabinetry and countertop, the bar area has a few details of its own like leather hardware and open shelves.
