This kitchen was designed for a young family who purchased an 80 yr old house and totally renovated it. The designer had a given space to work with but was able to change the location of windows, move a chimney out of the room, and redesign a walk-in pantry. The client requests included a Royal Blue 4 Oven AGA cooker, a large SubZero, a desk for her computer, a wine cooler and a bar area for him, with lots of convenient storage and counterspace. She is the main cook, is 5'3''tall, and hates clutter. He is 6' tall enjoys entertaining and good wines. The children are 8 and 10. The clients asked for a kitchen that would complement the traditional look of the house but still be a comfortable family kitchen. The final design provided a variety of countertop heights and backsplash heights to accommodate the different heights of the users. She loved the look of 'little drawers' and glass doors but didn't want to be able to see all the dishes so textured glass was used in the main storage area and clear glass only in the bar area for display. The unique corner sink provides a lower work centre for her with the balance for this run of countertops at standard heights. The island has two levels (35'' and 42'') with a prep sink providing a second work centre. The walk-in pantry has an opening window and was designed with a counter that would accommodate the bread machine and related supplies so it never has to moved and doesn't take up counter space. The pale yellow used on the cabinets and main counters is offset with the royal blue on the walls. The whimsy of the teapot and teacups in the backsplash prevent the overall look from being too formal.
