Springbank {custom} | The Kitchen & Pantry
Hello beautiful symmetry!!!
The kitchen and pantry space in our custom designed & built home in Springbank makes our hearts so happy. Perfect symmetry, a touch of marble, some antiqued mirror, and a pantry to swoon over…trust me, you want to scroll down to see it.
The Kitchen
Since all of our homes have site-finished cabinetry, the options are endless. This home has a simple yet elegant two-piece header that extended to the 10’ ceilings and shaker style cabinet door & drawer fronts. A pop of polished nickel for the hardware is an excellent contrast to the iron caged pendant lights over the island and the custom white oak doors that flank the range wall.
The bevelled marble backsplash is a great compliment to the honed black granite countertops, it not only lightens up the kitchen but also brings in a great organic feel with the unique veining.
The Pantry
The white oak doors that have an antiqued mirror insert lead into this expansive pantry space that will hold a lot more than just food, I mean I would be more than happy to hang out here, maybe it will be our clients hiding spot when she needs some alone time?
The kitchen has a built-in 36" SubZero fridge, but for the overflow and additional storage, we incorporated a full-sized fridge & freezer. I loved this idea, as a mom to two young boys, I can't seem to keep enough food in this house, and this option would give enough storage for some time. Also, let's face it, we live in Calgary, we have long winters, so when you can avoid endless grocery shops you do!
The Wolf steam oven and microwave were also installed in this space, keeping the kitchen nice and tidy and clear of any wall items that would take up countertop space. Even with all of these appliances installed, there is still a lot of storage for food, between the pull-out baskets, lower cabinets, and the upper shelves they will be set. Not sure if the shelves will be filled with boxes of Kraft Dinner or what, but honestly, you can fill this up with anything, and it will be a stunning space…yes, I said it, a stunning pantry!
And before I sign off, we need to take a moment to appreciate the stunning view from the kitchen into the family room. Vaulted ceilings, massive windows, and that fireplace. You can see more images of this room here.
This space is one that will be loved for years to come. It is not only timeless and classic but it offers a well thought out design with storage for every single item, from dividers for cutting boards and charcuterie trays in the island to extensive drawers for all of the kitchen things.
