A Timeless Look
For our October featured project, we are showcasing a beautiful kitchen with a natural, warm, and airy feel to it designed by John Schroeder from Village Cabinet Design, LLC. The owner wanted to bring the outside in, so there are exceptionally large windows and glass doors everywhere. She also wanted to have space to display her collection of Yellowware. The dramatic color variation and prominent graining of Hickory can give it a warm, rustic, and organic aesthetic while the use of floating shelves allows for the owner to display her collection. Using Brighton Cabinetry, John was able to create an incredibly open, natural, and airy design with plenty of areas to display collectables and art.
Durable and Longevity
Hickory is one of the hardest and strongest domestic hardwoods. It is extremely resistant to scratches, dents, and dings. It could be a perfect choice for a busy kitchen. The longevity of this species means the cabinets should withstand daily wear and tear for decades. This toughness can help in maintaining the visual appeal of the cabinets. If you want a natural, rustic, and character-rich look, Hickory could be the perfect choice.
Room to Style
To bring the outside in like the owner requested the full wall behind the kitchen sink was halved to allow air and light to pass between the entrance hall and the kitchen. In doing this there is more natural sunlight to light up the room and give more counter space. There were also large windows added along with glass doors and floating shelves. These sizeable windows add natural light to the room. The owner is a collector of Yellowware. The use of glass doors and floating shelves gives the owner room for the bowls and other stylish items. The allowance of more natural light in the room highlights the unique characteristics of the wood and radiates the beautiful New Carmel finish. We love the addition of a home office added to a little nook area next to the stairway. Great way to make the most of your space. All of these changes to the kitchen really gives the owner room to style and enjoy time in the kitchen.
