We tore down an existing home on the St. Lawrence River and built our new home. Our goals for the kitchen were to make it efficient, timeless, with high quality local craftsmenship. We achieved our goals by first consulting a local architect, then working with our contractor and a local cabinetmaker to design a space that would allow us to entertain in a relatively small space. We chose a Shaker style cabinet so that the kitchen would not go out of style, mixing painted and stain finishes to create interest. Please see attached photos. Thanks for considering us.
