An open-plan kitchen design by Wendy LeStage Hodgson

 

Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, designed by owner-designer Wendy LeStage Hodgson, the featured kitchen was an open-plan yet uncluttered design with an up-to-date aura. 

"A new great room led the makeover and I wanted the kitchen to merge with this adjacent space. We set out to connect the rooms visually in a variety of ways." Hodgson said.

"I introduced crown mouldings to the ceiling and custom range hood that match those found elsewhere in the home. And the classic paneled cabinetry is echoed by wall panels in the living room."

"Building on this idea, we chose bureau hardware for the island and the wall cabinets," she stated. "These are in two different styles. Opting for drawers for the under-counter cabinetry helps tie these elements together."

"New floors throughout the kitchen and surrounding areas are an important unifying element," the designer added. "In fact, visitors often have trouble telling where the original house finishes and the addition begins. This flooring is in wide-plank pine that has been distressed and oiled for a more antiqued look. The tung-oil finish is easy to maintain."
