Cramped, gloomy, and unremarkable. That was a fitting description of the former kitchen in this Stillwater home. But it had one redeeming characteristic—openness to the adjoining family areas that the owners wanted to preserve.
Following that lead, Braden Construction delivered a new space. A small rear addition was a necessity. The kitchen footprint was expanded with gentle curves and soft angles to improve traffic flow. Sightlines were maintained, and the expanded square footage allowed for a new causal dining area, a sitting area, and a walk-in pantry.
White enameled cabinetry with natural cherry doors gave the space a bright, airy charm. Working surfaces are honed absolute black granite; the upper bar top is solid cherry, steam bent so the wood grain follows the bar’s curve. A bank of windows on the new addition and a Solatube in the angular recessed light well above keep the kitchen bright throughout the day.
“You can be cooking and yet be in conversation and still enjoy the rest of the house,” says Braden Construction owner Andy Braden. “It’s got some highlights; it’s got a lot of nice subtle features.”
