This kitchen is in a beautiful 1940’s brick Tudor in Denver’s Hale Neighborhood, a tree lined residential pocket near restaurants and shops. The client is a working mom with 2 kids and 2 cats who loves to cook and loves “real” materials. I had such a great time working with her on her home. This kitchen footprint is not super luxurious, in fact, the island was drawn with double the cabinets before we realized the architect had made a large drafting error with the size of the room. Nevertheless, we made it work and it is absolutely lovely. I would take this kitchen in a heartbeat.
The stiles on the glass doors are not as thick as what you normally see in kitchen cabinets now-a-days and because of this we weren’t able to use the soft close hardware that you normally have on cabinets. In order to get a certain look, sometimes you have to sacrifice something else. My own cabinets are so soft close that sometimes they don’t close all the way. Is soft close cabinetry a must have? What say you? Is it a symptom of the numbing cushion of “must haves” that people write about online?
We sourced the white marble from a local quarry. The client originally wanted extra thick marble for the island and we reinforced the floor to support the weight. Extra thick stone (5 and 6cm vs. the more common 2 and 3 cm) is not easy to get your hands on and it became cost prohibitive and a little impractical with the heights on the island. I can see that it would have looked amazing though.
The floors are red oak with a medium brown stain. We used the existing floors and threaded new boards in to match.
