Inspired Culinary Space Designed to Dazzle

Project Overview

Inspiration for this kitchen remodel struck with the client’s bold and beloved purple Bluestar oven that sparked a stunning kitchen transformation. From custom cabinetry to curated lighting, every detail was designed to reflect the homeowner’s unique style.

A white custom built CopperSmith range hood with black accents anchors the space, set against a glossy chevron glass tile backsplash. Matching floating shelves and countertops in Viatera Lento quartz add polish and function. Custom cabinetry in oyster gray and high-gloss white balances modern flair with timeless elegance.

Top-tier appliances—from Dacor, Wolf, U-Line, Asko, and Delta—ensure beauty meets performance. The standout island, topped in Compac Quartz Viola Ice, doubles as sculpture and gathering space, complete with a hidden pop-up outlet and rounded seating extension.

Finishing touches include a Dutton Brown Prism chandelier color-matched to the range and remote-controlled LED lighting in the tray ceiling—bringing both drama and delight.

More than a renovation, this kitchen is a joyful, luxurious expression of personality, proof that luxury can also be fun.
