Finality by Cheryl Hamilton-Gray




As successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed, with restless repeats of renovations, the beach house and featured dining area finally met owner’s expectation of flow and functionality under Cheryl Hamilton-Gray’s design. 

"Accessed by a single door, the old, peninsula-style kitchen had felt cramped, so we started by revising all the spaces on the second level with a view to creating one large room. As part of this, we opened up the kitchen, and framed it with posts and beams, in line with the existing style of construction. And although the owners had initially wanted to demolish the fireplace, a stucco finish has given it a new lease of life. This corner of the room now looks much brighter, and we have created a dining area in front of it."

"We specified paneled cabinetry in quarter-sawn white oak," Hamilton-Gray added. "This has been distressed, wire-brushed and stained to match the ceiling beams and adobe style. The new island is now a focal point of the kitchen, its arched alcoves and stucco frame adding to the overall look. The custom hood is also finished in plaster."
