The oversized upper cabinets help to bring the overall look of the kitchen back into scale while the lower cabinets were customized to follow the detailed angles of the walls. Hand forged black iron knobs add the final touch to the drawers and doors.
A hinged pot filler tap was installed in the wall behind the stove eliminating the need for hauling heavy water filled pots from the sink area. A mold was made of the maple corbels on the island fronts so that a replica could be made in light cast stone tying the hood canopy in with the surrounding cabinets.
Hand carved details on the corbels jumps to life when the glazing finds its way into the deeper recesses. The same effect is achieved on the ornate mitred doors and drawer fronts. The result is a look of antique furniture as opposed to kitchen cabinets.
