Expansive Transitional Kitchen Overlooking the Hudson
This transitional kitchen featuring Bilotta Custom Cabinetry is a favorite project of Paulette Gambacorta’s, senior designer at Bilotta Kitchens. The client lives in Manhattan and purchased this classic Victorian house as their weekend escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The renovation planned to provide plenty of storage space and appliances while still having backyard views of the Hudson, perfect for entertaining and holidays. However, kitchen plans changed when the homeowners decided to have a child and their intended weekend getaway home became the city dwellers’ permanent residence. Having the home be their main residence, meant the kitchen had to function for everyday living as well as for entertaining and large family and friend gatherings. The perimeter cabinetry is a white dove paint and the island and pantry are quarter-sawn white oak with a stain. The pantry has tapered legs for a free-standing furniture look. The countertop is Calcutta Super White Quartzite with a Blue Ceramic Waterworks backsplash. The 48” Thermador range has a custom-made wall hood in Antiqued Brass and Antiqued steel by Amore Design LLC. The refrigerator, freezer, and wine unit are Subzero with the wine fridge outside the cooking area for easy access. Sinks are from Kohler and stainless steel faucets are by Artesso Collection by Brizo. Designer: Paulette Gambacorta Photo Credit: Peter Krupenye
