GALLEY
KITCHEN With a narrow, small kitchen,
my customers often feel they must choose between openness and
ample cabinet space. This galley kitchen shows how you can have
both.
Choosing a lighter wood, such as this Cherry lends
brightness and warmth. Selected touches of Walnut in the crown
molding prevent monotony and provide an illusion of height.
Designed-in openness is apparent in the cabinets
above the pass-through, which combine warm wood with glass doors
that face both the kitchen and dining area and reveal glass shelving
and interior lighting. The light box extension into the ceiling
expands the kitchen space by carrying the cherry wood higher and
lifting the chandelier above the room. In addition, the precise
Euro-style of all the cabinetry, which eliminates the traditional
American framework, expands useable space.
This kitchen includes many details that speak
quality, such as the Horton Brass pulls, the Corian solid surface
countertops with custom inlay, Euro hardware, and full extension
slides. |
