A favored hue is blessed with an ethereal background and found textures!  This family wished for early 1900s textures with increased brightness.  Served up was chicken wire lighting with Edison bulbs, blackened steel, metal architect stools, concrete tile, train car floor (re-incarnated as an island countertop), chalk board and a fuzzy canine for good measure.  Gone is the wall separating dining from the original kitchen space allowing for an elevated level of social linkage.

Of Note — Cabinets to the ceiling or no?  This kitchen conveys no...  Our philosophy is either jump fully to the ceiling or top out 12-15" below the ceiling.  These photos show a 'tweener, which as you may note, creates an unattractive shadowy band above the cabinetry that is a definite Debbie-Downer for the feel of the space.  It is important that clients keep us in the loop with what the cabinet providers are providing...otherwise things like this can happen.  Other than that this area manifests effervescent!
