It's a fun blend be- tween the white and dark cabinetry." White cabinetry is carried into the family room, which although physically is not part of the kitchen, is visible from the kitchen and is part of today's lifestyle, Martin explains. "The cabinets sur- rounding the fireplace are very symmetrical," she says, adding that she custom de- signed them to hide the TV. "A lot of engineering and math went into those cabinets! When you open the doors to reveal the TV, they are sized perfectly to conceal the dis- play cases. It's a unique feature that is a continuation of the kitchen." Merlot cabinetry ofers a deep contrast to the brighter stainless steel and white. "It's a cherry color, rather than espresso," she stresses. "It's deep and dark, rich and stunning. It reminds me of old boats that are rich with deep, aged wood."

"It looks signifcantly diferent within the same space," says Martin. "It's an easy room to be in, too. It isn't a huge kitchen, but it's scaled just right. It's incredibly practical and everything is within steps to her reach. The footprint fows well and the kitchen isn't overdone. It's planned just right – from storage to functionality – and it's impressive without being ostentatious." Photos: Ken Pamatat
