the 3D model, it fit into the whole scheme perfectly.
The mosaic backsplash, which is made
up of round and half-round stone shapes, is the
designer's favorite element in this new kitchen.
EVERYTHING ELSE & THE KITCHEN SINK
The homeowners wanted quality appliances that
would stand the test of time. Browne chose a
Bosch induction cooktop - switched from gas
- and wall ovens from Miele, a brand she feels is
intuitive and reliable. Since the existing refrigerator
was fairly new, it was reused in the new space,
with the idea that it could be swapped out for a
fully integrated model down the line.
The former faucet was also reused, but the sink
is a brand-new workstation unit in the island.
This new fixture features tiered accessory options,
allowing an area for drying dishes and a
colander for draining pasta - a perfect option
for multiple uses.
CHALLENGES OVERCOME & LESSONS LEARNED
In terms of the size issues of the former kitchen,
those were quickly resolved with the addition
of 2 feet from the dining room and removing a
partial wall. Since the project took place during
a time when product availability was questionable,
the design team chose realistic timelines,
ordered as much ahead of time as possible and
kept the clients informed. Although there were
cabinet and countertop delays, those did not
change any of the original product and material
selections.
" We had to adjust our expectations as far as
when things would be finished, but we did our
best to mediate the process, " said Browne.
At the last minute, the designer reversed her

countertop clutter, two
appliance garages hide those

gas range was replaced with
an induction cooktop, which
is the route Browne says
homeowners are taking these
days.
decision as to where the range wall and refrigeration/oven
wall would be located. Since the
range wall with the dynamic backsplash is really
the focal point of the space, she wanted to have it
facing the family room, where the homeowners
spend most of their time.
" Sometimes it is easy to get stuck designing
based only on function or on an original thought
process, but it is important to always reflect on the
design and final decisions to ensure it also makes
sense with the full environment, " said Browne.
The designer said she loved working with
these clients because the project was a truly
collaborative effort. The wife asked questions
and provided feedback, and they love their new
space.
" The new design has transformed how they operate
in the kitchen, " said Browne. " Everything has
its place, which really creates an exhale moment. "
