The peninsula was replaced with an island,
which is connected to the eat-in table the couple
desired. Both feature different heights and materials,
but combining the two was more efficient
than having two separate entities, which would
have required more walkway space.
COLOR PALETTE & CABINETRY
The new floor plan called for including the original
windows and door leading to the recently
renovated patio outside, but even with all that
natural light, the former kitchen was dark with
ample wood elements and inadequate lighting.
The client wanted a brighter palette, and as
such chose high-gloss white laminate cabinets,
which are reflective and bring in ample light.
To add some contrast and warmth to the space,
Browne chose a darker shade for the base cabinets
in a matte finish.
The homeowners have many countertop appliances
they wanted to keep hidden when not
in use, so Browne incorporated two appliance
garages - one on each side of the cooktop. She
measured all the smaller appliances to ensure
an accurate fit and incorporated the necessary
outlets in the garages.
For the base cabinetry, the designer used ample
drawers, which she feels are easier to access,
with various dividers, as well as breathable pullout
bins for vegetables. Rollout shelves ensure
nothing gets lost in the back of a cabinet.
ABOVE For the lighting plan,
the designer chose ample
dimmable cans to lessen
shadows, as well as three
understated pendants
that work well with a more
minimalist kitchen.
STYLISH SURFACES
The waterfall tabletop material is a matte-finished
walnut, which also adds warmth and contrast.
For the perimeter countertops and island,
Browne selected a Calacatta marble-look porcelain,
which she says resembles the real thing
without the additional maintenance. She chose
porcelain instead of quartz because she feels the
material does a better job of replicating marble.
" Porcelain fabricators are getting much better
LEFT The former kitchen was
closed off from the rest of
the home, and it was a tight
squeeze to accommodate the
whole family. The all-woodtone
palette needed a refresh,
and storage and lighting were
limited.

at working with the material, which is thin and
can be easily broken, " said the designer. " They
now know to miter it to a standard countertop
thickness, and I am getting a lot less pushback
from them when I specify porcelain. "
The flooring is the original red oak, but the design
team added some white and gray, so it looks
more like white oak and better complements the
rest of the color palette.
The backsplash was originally going to include
purple, the wife's favorite color. Eventually,
Browne found the Ann Sacks tile they ended
up using in her files, and when she added it to
