A-Ha Moment

 A-Ha Moment

This Kitchen was custom designed by Jane Page Design Group for a local show house.  A cozy restaurant in Barcelona, Spain was the inspiration for this kitchen design.

The combination of the dark stain and antique white finished cabinets with pops of blue and white tiles, gives interest and contrast to this traditional kitchen.  The designers wanted to introduce a unique focal point. Therefore, the A-Ha moment - the designer decided to back-light custom leaded glass panels above the tiled kitchen hood.  The illuminated panels added the perfect touch to complete this kitchen design.

The cabinets were designed with a combination of glass doors and display areas at different heights.  Two appliance garages with pocket doors were added at the right and left of the refrigerator.  The island was glazed in a lighter color to add contrast to the rich darker wall cabinets.

This kitchen was made wheelchair accessible by widening the cased openings and distance between wall cabinets and island.  The microwave drawer was also installed low for ADA use. 

The kitchen unites the family room via a large round table.  Designing the family room with coordinating colors makes this comfortable yet large space welcoming.
