Crown Point Cabinetry has long been known as the premier custom cabinetmaker for period style kitchens. More recently, we’ve delved into the world of frameless cabinetry for our clients looking for a clean, contemporary look. But what about those who want a touch of vintage style, and also long for a modern feel?
The answer is Crown Point’s Transitional line; a beautiful blending of both vintage and contemporary elements to create the perfect look for any style home.
Fred Puksta, the Product Designer here at Crown Point, spearheaded the development of this line, even using his own kitchen as the prototype (the resulting masterpiece is pictured above).
“We wanted to introduce a totally customizable line that allowed for the modular substitution of design components to create a kitchen unique to the individual,” said Fred of the new line. “It would be contemporary frameless construction with the option of adding vintage details such as valances, doors and feet, influenced by Victorian, Cottage, Arts & Crafts, Shaker and Early American styles.”
After months of designing, installing, uninstalling, redesigning and final installation, the Transitional Line was born! For more details, and to check out our offerings in this line, visit our New Transitional page!
Fred was recently interviewed on this subject for a story on HGTV.com. His tips and tricks to achieving the look can be found in “Guide to Creating a Transitional Kitchen.”
Because we love before pictures, below is a shot of Fred’s kitchen before it was revamped! Wow!
