Design Notes: A 2-foot bump-out and restoration of the original, higher ceiling enlivened this Pullman-style kitchen. The use of copper, hickory, antique bronze, bead board, and granite, as well as a tile backsplash that alludes to the weave in a basket, create a medley of texture, sheen and color that gives visual punch to this small space.
Products and Materials: Premier Custom-Built cabinets in light yellow painted maple and flax-stained rustic butternut, with bead board in dusty teal; Vangura Wild West granite countertops, Perrin & Rowe faucet, Kohler sink, Trikeenan Tileworks tile.
