Best of both worlds by Gail Drury





Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, a kitchen design that respect the traditional footprint of the house’s interior without the expense of the contemporary functionality can be achieve with the choices of textures, materials, and form of the space as the presented kitchen illustrates.

"The focal point of the room is the custom, hand-made pewter hood," said designer Gail Drury. "Its proportions match the scale of the room, but symmetrical cabinetry on either side – support columns and a large, arched valance – anchor it back to the more modest proportions of the immediate kitchen area."

"Ceiling treatments played their part in taming this room's volume," stated Drury. "We created the beam design to separate out three individual tray areas. Combined with the beadboard panels, this brings a more intimate presence to the sweeping ceiling plane."

"Besides the hood, pots of moss in the upper, decorative niches of the cabinetry provide some of the few points of color," added the designer. "The island base is in a rich, dark tone that recedes from the eye, while the turned leg elements give the 13ft-long island a furniture-like appeal."
