When

was

tapped to transform a cramped,

dated kitchen, she knew she

first needed to get the two

opinionated homeowners to

agree to a single vision for the

space. One craved a cozy, rustic

look while the other insisted

crisp white with modern

touches was the way to go.

Evans removed the bulkheads and reconfigured the layout

to open up the space. The ceiling along the door wall was

raised, and transom windows were added to flood the room

with light and highlight the view to the garden. The raised

ceiling area was trimmed in wood, which adds texture and

defines the traffic flow in the home.

Warm cherry cabinets and a textured ledge stone backsplash

bring more rustic elements, while dark granite perimeter

countertops and a marble island add a clean, modern touch.

Sleek metal hardware and an industrial vent hood are the

finishing touches.
