The grand stove alcove not only serves as a stunning focal point, but also pays homage to the design’s inspiration—the historic farmhouse. Back in the day, farmhouse kitchens featured a large hearth that the family would use for cooking meals. This modern farmhouse kitchen incorporated the original idea, complete with the wooden lintel beam, but adapted the alcove to house a modern Wolf 36″ Gas Range. The charm of these historic references is contrasted by the ultra-luxurious black quartz solid slab backsplash with subtle gold veining. Its dramatic look, further highlighted by the soft white “Mushroom” cabinets, is truly something to behold.

To tie in the wooden lintel beam, the Wolf 36” Refrigerator and 36” Freezer are flanked by Hawthorne style cabinets with “Coriander” stain on Cherry wood. This natural wood finish is also featured on the base cabinets in the expansive butler’s pantry to provide continuity between the two spaces. The butler’s pantry houses a microwave, wine cooler, small appliances, a second sink, and dishwasher so the majority of the food prep and cleanup can be completed behind the scenes, allowing guests and family to bask in the beauty of the clutter-free kitchen.

Returning to the main kitchen, a large island provides ample working space and wicker bar stools to comfortably seat four people. Since the grand stove alcove is such a dramatic centerpiece, the remaining design details were kept to a minimum. Simple white shades decorate the pendant and sconce light features while brass hardware adorns the cabinets and fixtures.
