This kitchen was a lot of fun. It started out as one of those large oversized and never used 60′s living room. We wanted to squeeze a kitchen and a eating/dinning area in it. This left us with a snug 13′x14′ space so layout was crucial. By positioning the kitchen adjacent to the family room and dining space with large openings separating the space the kitchen doesn’t feel small at all.
The cabinetry was done by Benjamin Blackwelder Cabinetry, of course. The color on the cabinets is Dune White BM and the walls Healing Aloe BM. The homeowner wanted to use this unique pattern for the tile. It was easy to find at the tile store but super pricey. I did some research and found these on Overstock.com for a fraction of the price.

I wanted the island to feel more like a piece of furniture than a cabinet. I did this by designing legs on the four corners and eliminating the toe-kick. The gray color for the island is Ocean Floor by Martha Stewart. I think we will be seeing more and more cabinets in this gray color.
Favorite shot. Homes have lost their way in establishing space separation with an open airy feeling. It seems like the more open the better has become the rule of thumb. It’s difficult to capture architectural interest, character, and a feeling of warmth in a space that feels like a cultural hall. Studies show people generally feel overwhelmed, insignificant, and even small (literally) in a spaces like this. I like to think of a home like a good book. It captures your attention from the beginning, interesting details and developments reveal themselves as you read on, and you can’t put it down till the end. Not like a book where you open it up and can tell the ending right from the beginning so you are bored and move on.

I can’t tell you how much I love this kitchen!! It’s my most favorite I have ever seen! The house we are hoping to purchase has roughly the same measurements and this layout would be perfect. I’m assuming the countertops are marble, but maybe just a perfect look-alike? Are you able to share this information? Please do!
The countertops are Carrera Marble.
I’d love to see what the cabinetry looks like above the fridge and to the right of it.
Thanks for sharing the paint colors!
No problem! I’ll post another picture showing the fridge.
light above sink- i love and I cant find- any suggestions
thanks

I just found your website. Your build and look is amazing! Absolutely love this kitchen! We are renovating here in Dallas, Tx. Thank you for posting the kitchen colors, they are fantastic. I have a question for you when re-painting your entire home and choosing a white kitchen, do you recommend the same color on cabinets and trim? and do you continue that throughout the trim/baseboards in the entire home? and what finish did you choose? thank you for all your help, painters are arriving on Monday!!!- Tori
Yes, I do recommend painting the cabinets and trim the same color where it makes sense. Sometimes you do have different trim colors but hopefully you can keep them in different rooms. And I do like my trim and cabinets done in a semi-gloss finish, looks the best. If you have additional questions, feel free to contract me at tiekbuilthomes@gmail.com. Good luck! -Steve
your website it amazing! I love the bench in the kitchen. Is it custom made or did you buy it? I was wondering if the fabric was available anywhere?
That was something Caitlin Creer had custom made. You’ll want to check with her for more details. Thanks!
Your work is absolute perfection!
Is there a specific “white” paint color(s) that you use for the cabinetry and trim which you could recommend?
Thank you!
There are a few different whites that I like and it obviously depends on the other colors of the space. But I like Dune White by Benjamin Moore and Cloud White by also Benjamin Moore
The cabinets and trim are painted White Dove by Benjamin Moore. It’s a great color.
Can you tell me what color grout you used? Is it white? I love it! The whole thing is amazing!
The grout color was must likely Warm Gray from Home Depot. Thanks!
Love your work – your trim work is gorgeous! I especially love this kitchen. Do you know the brand of appliances used? Also, do you know where the cabinet hardware is from? Thanks!
The hardware looks exactly like the martha stewart line at home depot. I picked the same for my kitchen.
This kitchen is absolutely perfect, every detail! One question, where is the microwave? We are building and want almost this exact layout (we even have similar measurements) and can’t figure out where to put our microwave, and I don’t see one in the pictures. Perhaps hidden in the island?
Thank you! The microwave is in the pantry.
