“Like jewelry, kitchen accessories and subtle design details are what make an outfit or a project shine,” said Nicholette Patton, who led this kitchen redesign in Davis, Calif., while working for Nar Fine Carpentry.
To complement the white cabinetry around the perimeter, three types of countertops adorn the space. Dark Caesarstone runs along the edges, while neutral quartz and a walnut butcher-block pair for the island.
A copper-colored glass sheet behind the range and the prep sink combines with large-format porcelain tiles in a shimmery gold tone.
Patton wanted to maximize the overall space to serve as both a prep area and an eating bar/homework area for the kids – resulting in two merged “L” shapes.
In recognition of the client’s main objective, the family’s last name and the number five were integrated on a panel above the refrigerator and pantry.
