The ultra-modern two-tone kitchen was inspired by European designs. High-gloss finishes, exotic wood and extensive drawers define the space. An unexpected bonus: a rarely-used formal dining room was converted into both a walk-in pantry and a walk-in wine room.

In this kitchen, the cabinets were refinished using an Antique White custom finish, which features a hand-applied, darker glaze over the off-white color for rich dimension. A darker finish was applied to the glass-paneled inset cabinets for depth. The walls that surround the cabinets boast a lime-wash paint.

Dated oak cabinets were brought into the new century with a careful application of modern metallic paint, distressed to look like dark stain. Custom beadboard and wood work on the island better exemplified the new homeowner's personality. The space also benefited from new doors and mouldings.
