Designing cabinetry so that it unifies disparate elements of a room’s architecture can be challenging. Even complex forms can express a natural grace, through eased elements and flowing forms. With Jaeger & Ernst, the custom kitchen, although more than the sum of its parts, merits focused attention in the design each of its components. The Greene & Greene brothers architects were exceptional masters of such designs, integrating room architecture with furniture: truly the ultimate bungalows! Pegs worked by hand bring the work of the cabinet maker to a higher level of craftsmanship. Design integration is always in service to the client - the user of the space!

Lighting can have a dramatic impact on a kitchen, and this was no exception. Additional overhead lights were added to provide highly visible work surfaces. Decorative Swarovski crystal pendants over the island were carefully chosen to pick up the subtle amber hints in the mosaic glass accent tile, hardwood flooring and window trim.

The wall between the renovated kitchen and the traditionally paneled dining room was subtly shifted, and a large opening with pocket doors was added to create greater visibility and openness.

The kitchen features a hand-hammered, copper, range hood, and hand-made ceramic tile. A closer look at the refrigerator panels highlights the ‘butterfly’ dovetails employed to join individual boards. In the hands of Jaeger & Ernst’s master cabinetmakers, such functional, woodworking details become captivating decorative elements. This celebration of traditional skills is a hallmark of the Arts & Crafts movement’s emphasis on the highest standards of craftsmanship. Trees with great age produce boards both lighter and stronger; nowhere is this more apparent than with American quarter sawn white oak. The quality of a board may determine the end uses effectiveness and durability. A good cabinet maker chooses wisely. Project: 6232.1

This kitchen features curly maple cabinets with custom matching doors and trim. The refrigerator, trash bins, and dishwasher blend seamlessly into the cabinetry behind custom panels, as well as a tall slide-out pantry. The island is a reflection of the room's unique shape, accented by a custom sink and stools. It also houses a built-in wine cooler and microwave drawer. The counter tops are green granite.

La cuisine prend désormais sa place dans l'ancien couloir et l'ancienne salle de bain. Elle sert à la fois de cuisine, d'espace repas et de couloir. Un gain de place considérable pour ce petit appartement.

The island centers the kitchen and provides plenty of storage in front while hiding the trash/recycling center and freezer drawers in back. Constructed of quartersawn white oak harvested in Chester County Pennsylvania. Gary Arthurs

Drawing directly upon stylistic details from the furniture designs of Gustav Stickley, this kitchen was custom designed, and crafted in quarter-sawn, white oak. The raw cabinets were then ‘fumed’ with ammonia, reproducing an original process, to achieve this rich, authentic color. Architect Seth Leeb and Jaeger & Ernst worked to get the details "right" creating a new kitchen in the G. Stickley furniture style. With access to the Craftsman Farms, Seth was meticulous in transforming details from the Stickley furniture to cabinets. From the stove cabinetry through the peninsula and Inglenook to the kitchen sink, detail prevailed in the design. Each mutton is mitered at the joining point as Stickley would prefer.

The sliding doors were removed and the hot water radiator relocated to enrich the functionality and beauty of the kitchen. Glass tiles, leaded glass doors, polished granite, interior cabinet lighting, new ceiling lighting along with cabinets that reach the ceiling were designed to visually expand the space. Reflective surfaces assist in expanding the space, as do glass doors because the mind peers beyond the door's face surface. White cabinets and trim with just enough detail and accent so as not to numb the emotion with a hospital quality further expands the sense of the kitchen space. Creativity and an ability to think "outside the box" are necessary for these gems we describe as "row" homes. Restoration when done well is exciting; it's refreshing and delightful. We can not disassociate our emotions from our environments. Why should we? We should strive to be happy within beauty. Part of the Arts and Crafts Movement in America used as its' motto: the Beautiful, the Useful and the Enduring. For an artisan craftsman or designer the motto holds true today.

This home, created in the early 60's by an architect who served under F.L. Wright, was a natural candidate for an ultimate bungalow kitchen. Featuring a room within a room, the kitchen is separate by part of the dining room and living rooms. The details in the design were meticulously executed and are a serious reflection of the skill set and commitment of Jaeger & Ernst custom cabinet makers. Project #6130.1 Photograph: Phillip Beaurline
