An abiding classic-contemporary kitchen by Jennifer Gilmer





Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, designed by Jennifer Gilmer, the featured Biedermeier-based kitchen was, per se, glamorous and rich in style since Biedermeier flair demonstrates a classic-modern look in design.

"As the kitchen doubles as a through space, I replaced the single island with two units to create an easy flow from the entry to the dining room. At right angles to this, there is a strong central axis from the dining room entrance to the double-height Palladian window opposite." Gilmer talked about the detailing of the design.

"We took the graceful curve of the central window as our inspiration and repeated this in the arc on the alcove that houses the television, as a decorative element on the hood, and again in a similar design feature on the rear wall,"

"Because the kitchen gets plenty of light, the cherry wood cabinetry doesn't look too heavy. Dark beading on most of the door panels also helps offset the expanses of wood, as do the white countertops on the islands. However, we chose black granite for the perimeter counters, as more white surfaces would have detracted from the richness of the Biedermeier style."

"The work triangles are efficient, and with cabinets on three walls and more in both islands, this kitchen offers plenty of storage." she added.
