Before and After: Quartersawn Oak Cabinetry Warms Up this Maryland Kitchen!

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Before the renovation, this Maryland kitchen was dark and lacked contrast

Before the renovation, this Maryland kitchen was dark and lacked contrast.

The homeowners of this basic white kitchen knew their space was in need of a makeover.  Their dream was to create an inviting, period style kitchen where they could gather together as a family-they came to the right place!  Crown Point designer Peter Ippedico guided them in the cabinetry design and layout of the transformed kitchen pictured in the “after” shot below.

After MD

Frameless Quartersawn Red Oak cabinetry gives the space warmth and timeless character, and the contrasting island provides a pop of color.

Frameless cabinetry in Quartersawn Red Oak warms up the kitchen, creating an inviting space for guests and chefs alike.   The light blue island incorporates a burst of understated color, while also providing ample workspace in the center of the room.  Design details such as true lite muntin doors, beadboard  and decorative moulding provide the period style charm they were looking for.

In their own words, the homeowners let us know just how much they love their new kitchen:

“Thanks for rescuing us from a very close call with mediocre cabinetry.  We knew our kitchen would be beautiful once we saw the sample door, but the finished product exceeded our expectations.  The Crown Point cabinets really look like they belong in our old farmhouse.  We could not have gotten this period look with the other brands we were considering.  It’s nice too that I can store my heavy pots and 50-lb flour bins in the cabinets instead of on the floor or in a closet.”

“You can also add me to the 99% of people who love their trash pull-out.  Thanks for talking me into it.  The dishwasher panel and hutch-like cabinetry between the refrigerator and wall oven also turned out well.  The whole layout is just great.  It definitely makes the best use of our space.  Thanks again!”
