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!
