MEDIUM KITCHENS
3RD PLACE DESIGN WINNER:
World travelers with a passion for collecting beautiful objects and of entertaining friends decided to remodel their kitchen around the AGA cooker from England. The constant warmth emanating from the stove is reflected in the selection warm yellows and mahogany stains colors. The Carrara marble counters were chosen with the intention of only increasing their good looks as they age. Antique chandeliers, church stained windows from 1800’s and 100 year old German blue and white tiles now look quite at home in this old world style kitchen.

SMALL KITCHENS
3RD PLACE DESIGN WINNER:
A small yet elegant kitchen/laundry room combo takes up all of 130 square feet in this Federal Style home in Essex, CT. Maintaining the clean classic look was accomplished by white raised panel doors adorned with crystal knobs, Calcutta gold marble counters, marble tile backsplash, and taupe silk wallpaper. Preservation of the original oversized exterior window was an opportunity to add bonus drawer space beside the stove. The adjoining side entrance area now houses the washer, dryer, brisker, and microwave. This keeps amenities out of sight but near at hand in this elegant classic petite kitchen.
