If you’re dreaming of a kitchen that would make any chef happy and is super stylish, this is it. This kitchen/family room by Butler Armsden Architects for a San Francisco decorator show house is functional luxury. Maple floors set the ground rules for the shimmering space. Their coffee with cream color is picked up in the seats of the sleek and low brushed stainless island stools.
White laminate Poggenpohl cabinets form the island, an L-shape of base cabinets, and a full height wall of storage. The limited number of wall cabinets is floating away from the wall with lights behind for pure kitchen drama. Their frosty glass fronts lift up and out of the way with the touch of a long stainless pull.
The deep lagoon black of the mirror stone counters is like a classic little black dress or perfectly fitted tuxedo. Stainless steel sinks, dishwasher, range hood, refrigerators, and a stove I covet are seamlessly tailored in to the room. The pot filler is any cook’s dream.
Yet with all of these stunning appliances and gorgeous storage, my hands-down favorite element is the quilted stainless steel walls. The softness, interest, and texture they provide are only surpassed by their gentle and dynamic reflection of light that really brings the space to life.
