Seaside Kitchen Design with Entertaining in Mind

This client wanted a kitchen made for entertaining! With a large family always ready for a gathering, this space needed to be comfortable and functional for all. A large island was the perfect solution to accommodate seating for at least 10. Two sinks, one large dishwasher and two dishwasher drawers make clean-up quick and easy. Which, of course, allows the clients to enjoy more time with their company. The design was to be fresh yet subtle as to not take away from the gorgeous view of the harbor. This crisp style makes the open kitchen feel that much more spacious. All the design choices and decisions were made in order to accomplish a kitchen which is just as welcoming as it is efficient.

Seaside Charm - Coastal Life Article

This article was published in the last issue of Coastal Life magazine. 

The South Dartmouth kitchen photographed for the article was designed by Tena. The kitchen features Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry in a custom off white enamel. The countertops were done in Kashmir White granite with a custom edge developed specifically for our client. SubZero & Wolf appliances were also selected with summertime entertaining in mind. Stunning!

Oceanside Kitchen Renovation

  The owners of this kitchen have a beautiful home that sits perfectly right on the water. When the project first started, it was made clear to me that the kitchen was going to be in the space with the best views of the ocean. Therefore, it needed to reflect the serene and whimsical feeling of their beachfront property. Soothing colors clean lines, and of course, bead board all work together to establish this calm sense of comfort. My challenge was to inject this relaxed seaside style into a functional layout fit for summer entertaining. This functionality was specifically centered on two ovens being super accessible to my "less than tall" client. I accomplished this by splitting the two wall ovens to either side of the range. Doing so, not only gave great access to each oven, but also, created a  cooking area that would make any gourmet chef jealous.

Cohasset Kitchen Redesign

When Kitchen & Bath Details was asked to work on a kitchen remodeling project for this Cohasset client we loved the directive – take a small kitchen in a historic home, open it up a bit, provide some seating, an amazing fireplace and keep it cozy! Our designers began Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry in white with a low sheen enamel with absolute black honed granite countertops and installed Sub-Zero & Wolf Appliances.

A hutch with open glass doors and lighting showcases beautiful china and adds a warm glow to the room. A desk provides an office workspace, while cozy dinners are prepared the flat screen TV allows the “chef” to catch up on the news.
