A narrow glass cabinet makes use of the limited space flanking the window, providing the client ideal space to display pieces from her pewter collection.

Also visible in this shot is one side of the Cornsilk hutch. The upper left cabinet contains a rollout pantry, allowing for access from either side.

As seen below, the custom hutch features open shelving and a Shaker Peg rack, on which the client hangs fragrant hand-dipped candles.

Along the sink wall, countertops are Vermont Soapstone, as is the apron front sink. To the left of the sink is a dishwasher, concealed artfully by a custom appliance panel.

The island is topped with the same soapstone countertop and cleverly conceals another appliance; a microwave is hidden behind a top hinged retractable door just below the counter.

A custom paneled range hood extends to the ceiling adding visual depth to the kitchen. A mantle style grooved plate shelf is supported by Early American brackets which are echoed in larger versions beneath the wall cabinetry. The bracket shape is repeated once more in the elegant toekick.

In the foreground, everyday cooking necessities such as potatoes, onions and bread are easily accessible in tilt-out glass bins on each end of the island.

The medicine cabinet is actually nine inches deep and recessed into the wall, providing a good deal of storage space for toiletries. Inside the glass cabinet are glass shelves and the interior is painted in a calming Sage Green.

Two large framed mirrors, also handcrafted at Crown Point, complete the vanity.

Custom open shelving with brackets provides elegant display space and a built-in refrigerator keeps the necessary oils cool and within easy reach. Countertops and sink are soapstone allowing for easy cleanup.
