Kitchen Remodel

Chevy Chase, Maryland

The existing kitchen and family room was opened up by removing extraneous partitions to maximize the space. New (and newly located) Weather Shield double-hung windows increase available light and air and define each space.
The side of the partition that faces the dining area acts as an art wall and screens the cooking area. At the bottom of the partition are storage cabinets for table linens and placemats. The table-height countertop wraps around for a sculptural treatment, and pendant lighting illuminates the breakfast bar.

The scale and detailing of the contemporary wainscot allows for an easy transition to the baseboard found in the more formal rooms of the house.

The wainscot is accentuated with simple reveals that provide detail to the entire space and integrate well with the built-ins.
New maple flooring and white painted wainscot provide a comfortable backdrop for the clean-lined furniture and European-style cabinetry. The backsplash at the range wall is fitted with white back-painted glass for simplicity and ease of cleaning. A white Silestone backsplash at the sink resembles the painted trim while providing a durable, cleanable surface.
