Kitchens on Fire - 435 Quail Circle, Red Pepper Kitchen + Bath
May 15th, 2008 by contributor
Blending contemporary elements with classic style, the kitchen design by Red Pepper Kitchen + Bath creatively gives vitality and character to the 435 Quail Circle kitchen featured in the “ Kitchens on Fire” tour. Margie McCulloch explains:
435 Quail is the kind of home that makes you kick off your shoes and curl up on the couch before you realize you aren’t in your own home. It feels warm and calm as soon as you enter -largely due to a good balance between color and shape; openness and interesting niches; familiar traditional style and edgy, contemporary accents.
The kitchen is the backbone of the open floor plan - classic painted white cabinets with contemporary pulls and classic crackle ceramic tile. Nothing here will be out of style next year- or in twenty years. But don’t misunderstand, it is not boring. A very awkward ceiling with a large skylight well that shoots up fourteen feet combined with a structural beam that is only seven feet off the floor posed design challenges. As frequently happens with challenges we face in our homes and our lives, this one inspired a creative solution that made the kitchen more interesting.
As a bonus, Plato Woodworks is “green” cabinetry meaning it won’t off-gas formaldehyde from the core of the cabinets (common in most cabinetry) and the finishes are low VOC.
Stop by 435 Quail Circle on the tour to see the before pictures and the final result.
