Modern Rustic Kitchen Island

Rustic Modern Chef’s Kitchen Remodel in Birmingham, MI

Every homeowner, especially one that is a professional chef, deserves a kitchen meant for cooking. When our clients came to MainStreet, that’s exactly what they were looking for. And, that’s exactly what they got.

The original kitchen had a cumbersome layout with minimal storage and low-end appliances. It was also outdated and didn’t fit this young couple’s design tastes.

Working within the kitchen’s original footprint, our creative solution involved updating the island to a larger rectangle shape with more surface area for food prep and dining space. As well as becoming a stunning statement piece with a gorgeous 3” mitered Trillium top, the island now functions as an ideal space for the homeowners and their two young kids to be seated at the island while mom and dad prepare their gourmet meals. It also incorporates an oversized undermount stainless steel sink with a Cove dishwasher and Wolf microwave drawer.

180 degrees from the island sink finds you within easy reach of a 24” column Subzero freezer and 30” column Subzero refrigerator, which are fully integrated next to the Wolf convection wall and steam ovens, flush-mounted into the European cabinetry. The new, wider countertop surrounding the 36” Wolf pro-range is completely unencumbered with the removal of the tall cabinets on the wall. A striking copper hood became a spectacular focal point in its place.

All of the high-end appliances are wrapped in luxurious Plain & Fancy custom cabinetry and a Dekton Trillium countertop.

By utilizing the closet space in the adjoining home office, we were able to create a walk-in pantry accessed through the nook. Rustica weathered barn doors hide the large walk-in pantry housing more Subzero wine and beverage refrigeration.

The whole room was designed to create a warm and friendly feel, perfect for casual family dinners and large group gatherings.
