Light After The Fire
A recent fire in this Countryside home created the need for a completely new kitchen. Although the fire’s origin was in another area of the home, smoke damage to the kitchen required the entire area to be gutted. With a few changes and updated details, LaMantia designers James Campbell, CKD and Annessa Zaharis, NCIDQ, were able to freshen a once lovely kitchen into a stunning new look.
By removing the existing wood-framed and drywalled closet, Campbell and Zaharis were able to extend cabinetry further, offering the refrigerator the appearance of a much less congested installation. This added real estate also allowed a tall pantry cabinet with roll-out shelves designed to fill the need for storage and a second tall cabinet for the double ovens. The microwave, no longer languishing on the countertop, is tucked just below the counter in an easily accessible base cabinet.
The newly designed Island, with the table level seating at the back, is now the special anchor this Kitchen was calling for. Add to all of this the spectacular lighting fixtures, the soft inviting paint colors and the warmth of the wood flooring and the final is an absolute homerun!
