Ventnor Contemporary Coastal | Jersey Shore
Our client’s top priorities for this project were expansion, better circulation, clean updated finishes, more storage, and organization. Their new kitchen checks all these boxes and more. Although our client loves the location of their vacation home, the kitchen just wasn’t meeting their needs. It was a very small space with 3 doorways off of it, limiting cabinetry layout options.
We more than doubled the size of the kitchen by stealing the square footage from the adjacent dining room. This allowed us to put in an island that is over 10’ feet long–perfect for entertaining. There’s plenty of counter space on both sides of the induction range, and a secondary run of cabinets at one end of the kitchen that houses a wine refrigerator. The size of the old dining room window was increased so that it matches the size of the existing kitchen window. Now, light floods the space making a substantially larger space feel even bigger.
The cheery sea foam green hue of the island is balanced by classic white perimeter cabinetry. Honey bronze knobs and pulls visually tie together these contrasting cabinets. Being that people with sandy, wet feet will frequent the space, a luxury vinyl plank was specified for the floors. Utilizing such a bright, functional and contemporary kitchen will make this weekend and summer getaway a completely different experience.
