Kitchen and Bath Design News Magazine

The leading magazine for the kitchen and bath design industry.

A 7' wet bar with arched detailing, glass doors and wine rack makes a dramatic design statement in the kitchen area.

Project Highlights

Designed by Becky Sue Becker, CKD and contractors Jack and Lesley Norman, this open floor plan remodel was achieved by removing stubborn pre-existing structural obstacles – such as the wall that divided the cramped kitchen and nook areas.
The Cottage-style design theme provides a warm charm that meshes with the architecture of the home. It is highlighted by custom linen white-painted cabinetry combined with honed Absolute Black granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
Workflow was drastically enhanced with the removal of the old kitchen peninsula, which was replaced by a generous 8' island that allows for 4' of walkway to accommodate multiple cooks.
Becker maximized the lighting in the space through the use of natural light, recessed cans with low-voltage halogen lamps and xenon undercabinet lights.
Product lineup: Custom cabinetry by Georgia Cabinets & Millworks; honed Absolute Black granite countertops from G&L Marble; Rev-a-Shelf swing out spice rack; Kohler undermount prep sink; GE built-in microwave, GE Monogram oven and refrigerator/freezer, and U-Line icemaker; satin nickel knobs and cub pulls by Hardware Resources; and lighting from Design Lighting.
