February and March 2011 Mpls/St. Paul Magazine featured Byron and Janet Richard's kitchen in their Cross Lake retreat designed by JoLynn Johnson. Honorable Mention in Crystal Cabinet Works Design Contest 2011 A vacation home built in 1992 on Cross Lake that was made for entertaining. The problems • Chipped floor tiles • Dated appliances • Inadequate counter space and storage • Poor lighting • Lacking of a wet bar, buffet and desk • Stark design and layout that didn't fit the size of the room Our goal was to create the log cabin feeling the homeowner wanted, not expanding the size of the kitchen, but utilizing the space better. In the redesign, we removed the half wall separating the kitchen and living room and added a third column to make it visually more appealing. We lowered the 16' vaulted ceiling by adding 3 beams allowing us to add recessed lighting. Repositioning some of the appliances and enlarge counter space made room for many cooks in the kitchen, and a place for guests to sit and have conversation with the homeowners while they prepare meals. Key design features and focal points of the kitchen • Keeping the tongue-and-groove pine paneling on the walls, having it sandblasted and stained to match the cabinetry, brings out the woods character. • Balancing the room size we staggered the height of cabinetry reaching to 9' high with an additional 6” crown molding. • A larger island gained storage and also allows for 5 bar stools. • A former closet became the desk. A buffet in the diningroom was added and a 13' wet bar became a room divider between the kitchen and living room. • We added several arched shapes: large arched-top window above the sink, arch valance over the wet bar and the shape of the island. • Wide pine wood floor with square nails • Texture in the 1x1” mosaic tile backsplash Balance of color is seen in the warm rustic cherry cabinets combined with accents of green stained cabinets, granite counter tops combined with cherry wood counter tops, pine wood floors, stone backs on the island and wet bar, 3-bronze metal doors and rust hardware.

The bar is in the background, with a vintage poster to add personality and a conversation piece to the space. The Perlick beverage refrigerator below allows easy access to all, and more room in the Frigidaire Professional Refrigerator for food. A large working island with a Blanco prep sink was designed to give the multiple chefs in this family to have their own prep space.

This galley kitchen was widen by straightening out a wall to the left of the island and adding approximately 10' space back. Bruce Rosenquist our building designer was able to determine a way to remove the existing support columns, so we could open the entire space.

The lay-out and design of all cabinetry was done by Deb Seeley Designs. Counters are soapstone, with an Oceanside glass backsplash to keep the space light and bright. Note the zinc and stainless steel pendents, to give it a slight industrial look. The all weather wicker barstools were selected for their contemporary style, and ease in cleaning. After all their are four grandchildren in this family!

Wide & multiple walkway's into the kitchen space always family and guests to easily access everything, as well as provide the proper spacing for people to get by when an appliance is being used. Shaw's, durable, wide plank, white oak flooring with a hint of white wash was selected to keep the space light. mask the forever shedding, yellow labs fur, and add alittle rustic look to the space.

Fir cabinetry, with natural finish was selected partly because that was the type of wood trim used around the great room windows, which was the part of the house we did not tear down. The linear grain in fir is beautiful and ages well, not to mention keeps the space light
