This large, traditional, kitchen was the star of the show at the 2012 Parade of homes. With (2) islands and a table in this kitchen there was enough room for entertaining a large crowd. The classic white cabinets with lots of glass doors was stunning.

At the European-inspired home, architecturally designed by Todd Brokaw and decorated by Joni Bader, guests entered through the stone rotunda into the large great room with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. Custom cabinetry, carved woodwork and unique wall treatments were favorite details of the estate home.

The living room and kitchen featured was designed by Alan Kosa Interiors. The space combines a number of complementary finishes such as white high gloss lacquer, horizontal teak wood and titanium mirror. The counter stools upholstered in deep coral red color leather adds a great deal of punch to the space. The accent table is a Barbara Barry design but the designer, Alan Kosa added a custom top made of inlayed bone. The accessory pillow is made of silk fabric and accented with velvet appliqué’ medallions and tassels.

We created a large, open concept kitchen and family room with optimum seating and functionality. We reconfigured the kitchen to accommodate a large island and banquette seating to maximize storage throughout. A custom sectional and console table divide the family room and are punched up with bright accents and layered patterns for a sense of fun and excitement.
