"Although
the owners said they wanted a country-kitchen aesthetic, I felt the size of the
home called for something grand – so the design has a refined, yet slightly
rustic appeal," said designer Leonie von Sturmer of the featured kitchen
design, according
to reliable furniture shop in Phnom Penh construction materials
information.
"The
weathered and waxed wood on the existing table provided inspiration for the
worked finishes of both the under-counter cabinets and the butcher's block. For
balance, white, glass-fronted cabinetry above the counters has a lighter
look."
"The
block and low cabinets are in torrefied ash," stated von Sturmer.
"The main advantage is that, unlike staining, the change in character runs
right through the timber. Any chips or cuts remain true to the color of the
exterior wood."
"The key to improving
connections was simple – we turned the dining table around," added von
Sturmer. "To further optimize flow, we took out a small peninsular element
that had obstructed the French doors. In its place, there is a tall, set-back
glass-fronted cabinet that balances the height of the dresser opposite."
