One of the methods devised to age the cabinet was
the use of German manufactured Bendheim glass. For
the Weitzner kitchen, builder Mark Batson of Tongue
& Groove appropriated chicken wire glazing to mimic
100-year-old glass, adding yet another layer of farmhouse
vertias.
Steve Weitzner, whose home office adjoins the kitchen,
is a consultant for tech publications. Ironically, while
the kitchen is a thoroughly modern high performer, the
throwback to an earlier time has great appeal to him and
his wife who with Batson and interior designer Bridgett
Mazer, spent hours upon hours searching for just the
right hardware to appoint the cabinets.
From the casual seating at the open bar that links the
kitchen to the living room, or from the breakfast table,
it’s possible to gaze across Landfall Lake. While they’re
not exactly at the beach, one’s eyes are drawn to the hori-zon
line anchored by Shell Island Resort in Wrightsville
and a ribbon of sand. At night, around the fire pit, fam-ily
and friends can watch the stars, see the moonrise over
the lake, and listen to the sound of water trickling over
the edge of the pool.
