Garage to Gourmet

This expansive butlers pantry is directly off the gourmet kitchen and seperated by a large archway, itself containing recess storage and a builtin coffee station. The pantry contains tall china cabinets for the homeowners dishes and serving pieces as well as ample counterspace and addtional storage. The space began as a 2-car garage. After months of renovation, it is now a gourmet kitchen. The focal point is the hood made from a reclaimed warehouse beam and finished with a copper top and placed on stone and glass mosaic tile. The island is large enough to accomadate seating and provide plenty of room for prepping. Adjoining the space is a large butlers pantry and bar and a home office space. Tall cabinetry flank the cooking wall and provide easy access storage to pots and pans as well as small appliance storage. This was the 2011 National Transitional Kitchen of the Year as awarded by Signature Kitchens & Baths Magazine. Photography by Med Dement
