Cabinet Supreme by Adair, located in Oconomowoc, WI, had the pleasure of redesigning this kitchen on quaint Moose Lake. Kitchen designer, Gwen Adair, took the client’s style ideas and revamped the kitchen to evolve their Dutch colonial home. With a farm house touch and their lake front views from the kitchen, this space quickly became the heart of the home for cooking and entertaining. Skylights, vaulted ceilings and an open concept floorplan bring in the expansive east views of Moose Lake.
While designing this kitchen, it was important to have the kitchen embrace all of the lake side windows. The original rough cedar walls were kept to maintain the style of the home, while contrasting with fresh white cabinetry that included a touch of pewter accents on the door style chosen by the client.
The Farm house sink and great counter space on the window wall, help to provide the much-needed work space for preparing meals. Quartz counter tops were chosen for the sink and cooking area, for ease of maintenance on this high use counter area.
The expansive island, with its personalized drawer organization, was key to the family’s cooking and entertaining needs. The Dura Supreme “Gale Force” color continues to be popular with its chameleon blue tone and nautical vibe. On the island backside, we feature extra storage and a large seating area. The “X” design, on both ends of the island, add to this transitional farmhouse feel. The island is topped off with a classic piece of Carrera marble.
The back wall features a built-in dry bar combined with a microwave and undercounter beverage center. This great space, with the floating shelf accents, x-mullion doors and seeded glass provides plenty of storage for bar needs, and serving as a multi task buffet area when entertaining. The combined materials and multiple finishes are always a delicate balance to pull off a cohesive space.
