BEFORE & AFTER
WHEN THE WALLS CAME DOWN
Bacher removed three walls that separated the
kitchen from the adjacent dining room and family
room to open up the space. As they all were supporting walls, they had to install a beam and post.
" We tried to use this as an opportunity to add
some architectural interest and detail, " she said. " We
had a local master craftsman construct a wrapped
beam and post using reclaimed barnwood.It added
such a nice detail to the space and warmed it up. "
As with many older homes, this one had a low
ceiling. One pleasant surprise was when they took
everything down to the studs, they discovered that
the adjacent family room had a vaulted ceiling hidden beneath the drywall. The extra height made
the whole space feel a bit larger.
Knocking down the surrounding walls also
brightened up the whole space, eliminating the
need for the designer to add more windows.
RECONFIGURING THE LAYOUT
At the homeowners'request, Bacher kept the window by the sink, which she used as her focal point
since it is the first thing seen when walking into the
kitchen. The challenge it posed was that it threw
off symmetry on either side, so she needed to create a more balanced view. In part, this was accomplished by installing oil-rubbed sconces to flank it.
To the left of the farmhouse sink is the refrigerator, and to the right is a wall-to-counter cabinet
with pocket doors that hides out-of-the-way appliances. Bacher built a peninsula where the refrigerator was and put in a range with a downdraft, as
the homeowners did not want a hood to obstruct
that open feeling.
" We put counter seating on the other side of the
range, so that if you're working in the kitchen, you
can have family sitting at the counter on the other
side, interacting with you, " she said.
ABOVE Guests can sit on
scallop-edged chairs around
the countertop to talk to anyone working in the kitchen.

LEFT The old kitchen's layout
was not set up for gatherings
and was disconnected from
the rest of the downstairs.

to develop a design style for the space they feel reflects their vision. In this case,
the client pulled images consistent with a French country style.
" The primary goal was to balance formal elements like moldings and refined decorative details with rustic accents found in things like natural wood,
distressed paint finishes, natural metals, etc., " said Bacher. " We ran with that
concept, and you can see it reflected in the use of corbels on the cabinets and
carved legs at the sink.The reclaimed wood on the beam and post provided the
needed rustic accents to round out the French country vibe. "
CONTINUING THE NEUTRAL PALETTE
The former kitchen was predominantly white, and the homeowners wanted
to stick with that shade for the remodel. The maple cabinets were painted
using a warm white, which became the jumping-off point for the rest of
the color scheme. The quartz countertop, chosen for its lower-maintenance
properties, was speckled with a bit of gray. White was also chosen for the
subway tile backsplash behind the sink.
" We used the cabinetmaker's white on the cabinets and then color matched
it to be used for all of the trim to help make everything look cohesive and
connected, " said Bacher.
She said that white is not only popular for kitchens but also helps keep the
room bright and open. Polished-nickel hardware for the sink and oil-rubbed
bronze for the rest of the fixtures, knobs and pulls add warmth and provide
contrast.
" I really like this kitchen, " said Bacher. " It's one of my favorites as it offered
numerous challenges. "
And the clients are pleased as well.The designer said that the open-concept
plan better reflects their lifestyle and promotes family interaction. She also
admitted that she learned a lot from the experience, particularly as it had many
constraints she could not change.
" I learned that by embracing those - rather than being frustrated by them
- actually helped create a more interesting space and ultimately, I think, a
better result, " added Bacher.
