old-world charm with lodge-style grandeur
Much of the kitchen’s warmth comes from the Benjamin Moore Richmond Gold
paint that covers the textured walls, Roxbury Carmel on the ceiling and the
antique glazed perimeter cabinetry with iron pulls by Signature Custom Cabinetry.
Travertine subway tiles line the backsplash throughout the kitchen. The earthy
wood tones of the island cabinetry add weight to the center of the over-sized room.
Gold, brown and beige-toned travertine marble floors throughout the entire
kitchen area lead to the adjacent covered porch, an easy transition that opens the
room even more.
A dining area anchors the far end of the kitchen inspired by the Sonnenalp
Resort in Vail, Colorado. “This reminds me of the dining area there. It is very
quaint with the drapes all around and the heavy furniture,” Donna says. Leather
upholstery covers the high-backed dining chairs surrounding the round Marge
Carson table.
In the corner of the kitchen, a flat-screen TV is installed above the
great detail
chiseled antique German glass pantry door.
