Once again, white is dominant, but “not a super bright, clinical white,” says Caitlin, adding: “No one wants their house to feel like a doctor’s office!”
Quartz countertops are white with gray veining, and together with deep blue backsplash tiles, the colors beautifully harmonize with the coastal setting. Smart storage drawers and doors offer organization and rid counters of clutter. And the kitchen sink, situated in front of large windows through which one can glimpse the ocean, now features an inviting workstation, enhancing the prep-cook experience.
Among Caitlin’s favorite features is the pretty pendant over the sink, which stands out amid all the recessed lighting and casts a soft glow over the space. She’s also pleased with the fluted glass on the cabinets flanking the hood. “Fluted glass means you don’t have to keep what’s inside cabinets perfect.”
Caitlin often encourages clients to “have fun with hardware,” explaining “they are easy to change out.” In this case, they went with brass pulls on cabinetry, again striking a balance between traditional and contemporary.
The project was completed in a mere five months, as Arcadia felt a sense of urgency to finish before summer crowds arrived. It will no doubt be enjoyed for many years to come.
