Sweet and Savory

The gracious pairing of maple's character with the brisk appeal of near-white paint strikes a savory balance in this roomy remodeled kitchen.  The inset Chesapeake style establishes a tone of calm dignity, which is reinforced and softened by the distressed Vintage Nutmeg finish.  Sweetening this savory warmth is the Vintage Soft Cream island, which uses the flat-paneled Concord Inset door.  Note how the cabinetry wraps around and over the doorway into the adjacent laundry room, which is home to more Showplace painted cabinetry.  Tasty accents abound, from the carved corbels on the range hood, to the massive turned legs on the island and half-rounds framing selected cabinets.  The entire creation is topped with multi-tiered molding stack, giving a fitting crown to this palatable achievement.
