"The Perfect Complement"

Michael and Lynda were looking for a kitchen that was open, made the best use of space and was a design respectful of the rest of their Late 1920's Bungalow.

They were fortunate in that their home was already in fairly good shape, but needed the expertise of Arciform to bring their ideas to fruition. In March 2001 they began what many know to be the most difficult part of the home to remodel while still living it in it. By the September 2001 they had the complement they had always wanted to the rest of their house.

Arciform built paint grade kitchen cabinets with period style hardware, installed a cherry colored Pergo floor, "Slate Scape" counters and created a beautiful two color green tile back splash that was a perfect fit to their soft yellow walls and clean white cabinetry.

Michael Shay is a photographer by trade and put the lighting of the space on a high priority. We lit the counters with can and used adjustable cans to highlight a wall designated for artwork. Over the sink and in the center of the ceiling we mounted fixtures in the style of the 20's.

Designer Anne provided inventive designs to incorporate seating, and used glass doors on cabinets as well as open shelving to give the kitchen an open and airy feel. New doors were also added to the existing pantries, always keeping in mind the style of the house throughout the design of the new space. On the floor we installed dark cherry colored Pergo which gave the space a rich feeling.

Michael and Lynda's kitchen was successfully and respectfully integrated into the rest of their house and is a harmonious space they love to come home to.
