THE SETUP Imagine how thrilled Diana was when she was approached about designing a kitchen for a client who is an avid traveler and Francophile. ‘French-country’ is a very specific category of traditional design that combines French provincial elegance with rustic comforts. The look draws on soothing hues, antique accents and a wonderful fusion of polished and relic’d finishes. Her client wanted to feel like she was in the south of France every time she walked into her kitchen. She wanted real honed marble counters, vintage finishes and authentic heavy stone walls like you’d find in a 400-year old château in Les Baux-de-Provence. Diana’s mission: capture the client’s vision, design it and utilize Drury Design’s sourcing and building expertise to bring it to life. Design Objectives: Create the feel of an authentic vintage French-country kitchen Include natural materials that would have been used in an old French château Add a second oven Omit an unused desk area in favor of a large, tall pantry armoire THE REMODEL Design Challenges: Finding real stone for the walls, and the craftsmen to install it Accommodate for the thickness of the stones Replicating château beam architecture Replicating authentic French-country finishes Find a spot for a new steam oven Design Solutions: Source and sort true stone. Utilize veteran craftsmen to apply to the walls using old-world techniques Furr out interior window casings to adjust for the thicker stone walls Source true reclaimed beams Utilize veteran craftsmen for authentic finishes and distressing for the island, tall pantry armoire and stucco hood Modify the butler’s pantry base cabinet to accommodate the new steam oven THE RENEWED SPACE Before we started work on her new French-country kitchen, the homeowner told us the kitchen that came with the house was “not my kitchen.” “I felt like a stranger,” she told us during the photoshoot. “It wasn’t my color, it wasn’t my texture. It wasn’t my style… I didn’t have my stamp on it.” And now? “I love the fact that my family can come in here, wrap their arms around it and feel comfortable,” she said. “It’s like a big hug.”

A marble hearth behind the La Cornue range and brass trimmed hood center under a graceful herring bone brick barrel ceiling. Heavy distressed wood beams contrast from the white painted decking ceiling in the nook. Glass shelving and marble counters reflect the natural light spilling in from 16 foot tall windows.

As part of a housing development surrounding Donath Lake, this Passive House in Colorado home is striking with its traditional farmhouse contours and estate-like French chateau appeal. The vertically oriented design features steeply pitched gable roofs and sweeping details giving it an asymmetrical aesthetic. The interior of the home is centered around the shared spaces, creating a grand family home. The two-story living room connects the kitchen, dining, outdoor patios, and upper floor living. Large scale windows match the stately proportions of the home with 8’ tall windows and 9’x9’ curtain wall windows, featuring tilt-turn windows within for approachable function. Black frames and grids appeal to the modern French country inspiration highlighting each opening of the building’s envelope.

This beautiful shaker kitchen demonstrates perfectly how a breakfast bar can be incorporated into a smaller space. The contrasting oak worktop compliments the overall country feel of this kitchen. The colour of the units works perfectly and brings this whole space to life.

The light filled grand kitchen sets the stage for this exquisite French inspired design. Painted maple cabinets, an apron-front sink, and lavish marble island countertop create a sophisticated setting for cooking and socializing alike. Rich in texture and depth, the perimeter walls are lined with an intricate black soapstone backsplash, as the distinctive hand wrapped plaster hood sits proudly above the handsome dual la flange range. While it may be hard to replicate the beauty or the aged patina of a provincial chateau, we embraced and preserved unique features of this home to add gallic charm. The original solid oak front doors were re-stained, resized and purposely re-used as the statement making pantry doors. A pair of hand carved limestone cast fireplaces, warm brass fixtures and an abundance of natural stone add a touch of modern-day style.

Beautiful 3 CM Statuario Quartzite island, perimeter counter tops, and full backsplash from Architectural Granite and Marble paired with stainless steel appliances and black exposed farmhouse sink. Fabrication and installation by Blue Label Granite in Buda, TX.

This kitchen was created by removing a wall that separated the family room from the kitchen. This allowed us to add a second island. The islands are topped with Viatera Karis quartz, which is carried up to serve as a back splash. Industrial spotlights are used as pendants over the prep area. Mirrored upper cabinets keep the space from feeling too industrial and add a European touch. A collection of vintage ironstone pitchers is displayed in the upper cabinets.

The luxurious kitchen was outfitted with custom cabinets which we designed and ordered from a Canadian manufacturer. All built in appliances are top of the line. The hood was custom-made per our specifications. For ease of care and maintenance, we opted for quartzite countertops and backsplashes as well as porcelain tile flooring. The floor border inlay is made of actual marble. This room awaits some pendant light fixtures and the breakfast table.

Kitchen renovation within an existing space with the challenge of an A-frame.

This Shabby little IKEA kitchen remodel rests in Portland Oregon. We redesigned the space with custom fronts, panels, trim, and decorative hood cover. The client was well invested in this project by designing all of the finishes for the space including the countertop, plumbing fixtures, appliances, cabinet pulls and more.
