Contemporary in Connecticut
This kitchen was a collaboration between Bilotta Designer Danielle Florie and Peter Coffin of Doyle Coffin Architecture. A young couple with three kids living, for years, in their 1960s colonial, needed a change. They wanted to transform the home, situated in beautiful Ridgefield, CT, into a contemporary “farmhouse”. For the kitchen they yearned for something “hip”, yet elegant – a mix of Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency and Art Deco. The original kitchen was a traditional, inset cabinet in a honey colored cherry – a far cry from the current space. After much research on Houzz, primarily, they came to hire Bilotta and Doyle Coffin to bring their project to life.
The contemporary cabinetry for the wall and tall cabinets are flat panel, MDF in a high-gloss black finish; the bases are flat cut walnut with a custom stain. The gold accents from the Richelieu hardware to the custom Amoré hood to the light fixtures (and even the table base) were all “must-haves” by the client – even her flatware is gold!
The Madra Perla Quartzite backsplash and countertops, and the 24x24 porcelain floor tiles (that look like cement) were done with by Terra Tile & Marble.
Appliances are a mix of Wolf and KitchenAid.
