The client and I worked hand in hand to design a one of a kind, gourmet kitchen without adding any square footage to the original space. Even the kitchen window stayed the same - I just designed a custom tile "trim" instead of using traditional wood trim.
The cabinets are the "cake" in this kitchen and the granite & travertine are the "frosting". Every time I design cabinets, they are unique to the project. No two kitchens are ever the same. The emphasis in this kitchen was elegant European style. There are so many little finish details that there are several pages dedicated to these photos.
I use Alpine Woodworks exclusively for all of my custom cabinetry needs. The paint, glaze and stains used in this kitchen were all custom blended. The new stain on the hardwood floor was custom blended for us on site. The kitchen and bar sink are handmade hammered bronze by a local Portland artist, the granite slabs are rare varieties from Namibia (the island slab is a different color and finish than the perimeter counter top granite) and the Italian Travertine backsplash tiles were all hand cut by the tile installer from much larger tiles. The sink above the kitchen window is completely wrapped with a custom Travertine tile design to blend with the rest of the backsplash in the kitchen.
The appliances are from Dacor, Sub-Zero, Miele, KitchenAid & Best.
