Cliff House: Kitchen

This kitchen was meant to entertain, as well as prepare fabulous gourmet meals. The oversized island is quite a statement piece, and a typical countertop thickness just wouldn't do. To remedy this, we added a much thicker edge, giving the countertop great visual weight that is in proportion and scale to the vaulted ceilings. For an extra added detail, we specified a chiseled edge to contrast with the smooth top, but complement the rustic feel of the stone throughout the house, as well as the home's exterior. The glass backsplash adds a beautiful contrast to the stone countertops, giving just the right amount of glamour. Design: Wesley-Wayne Interiors Photo: Stephen Karlisch
