Lakeside Luxury

This grand, open-concept kitchen showcases a sophisticated blend of neutral cabinetry, warm wood accents, and striking brass fixtures. A dramatic custom hood—painted a deep charcoal and banded with gold—anchors the space and draws the eye upward. Below, the waterfall island features a clean, white quartz countertop that extends gracefully down each side, offering ample prep space and seating. Softly lit by a trio of pendant lights with brass detailing, the island becomes a centerpiece for both everyday living and entertaining.

Wide-plank hardwood floors flow into an adjacent living area, where coordinating gold chandeliers and a stone fireplace create a cohesive, upscale ambiance. In the adjoining scullery or butler’s pantry, painted cabinets and glass-front doors combine with wood elements to add warmth and texture. A subtle square-tile backsplash and brass sconces echo the main kitchen’s elegant finishes. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry not only maximizes storage but also highlights the lofty ceilings and expansive windows. The result is a bright, refined interior that seamlessly merges classic detailing with contemporary comfort.
