“The island is like a sculpture in the room, and the cabinetry is a two-dimensional version of it,” says architect Ron Godfredsen of a kitchen his firm designed for artist John Baldessari.

“The kitchen has a dual function,” says architect David Warner (www.lipkinwarner.com). “One side serves the dining and family rooms, while the other faces a sitting area and breakfast nook.” Double islands topped by polished granite house a KitchenAid dishwasher (www.kitchenaid.com) and a Thermador range (www.thermador.com). Designer Linda Bedell (970-925-4310) selected a table from Altamira Horse & Buggy Shop (970-927-4064) and benches from Dos Gallos (www.dosgallos.com); the chair is from Old Hickory (www.oldhickory.com). |

“They didn’t want a family room concept, where the kitchen is in the dining room,” says architect Paul Bertelli (www.jlfarchitects.com). “That allowed us to do a self-contained casual kitchen, without it being in the fray.” Limestone was used for the floors, countertops and backsplash, and designer Hilary Heminway (860-535-3110) hung a French pot rack (www.howardkaplanantiques.com) with antique Holophane lamps over the center island. A custom copper sink from Oregon Copper Bowl Company (www.oregoncopperbowl.com) is paired with a Newport Brass faucet (www.brasstech.com), while a Franke pot filler (www.franke.com) is located above a Viking stove (www.vikingrange.com). The cabinets are by William Ohs (www.wmohs.com), and the flooring and mantel are from Country Floors (www.countryfloors.com). |
