Custom Wood Cabinets in Piedmont



Grand, light-filled and packed with human-centered design elements, this kitchen was designed to accomplish two competing goals: To be a true chef’s kitchen and to serve as a gorgeous gathering place for entertaining.

 

Designer of our partner Wood Cabinets approached the project with a simple but powerful idea: To ensure a coherent look throughout their home, the look of the kitchen should be led by the homeowners’ intuitive sense of design.  

 

“In my first meeting with the client, I asked to tour their home,” Jenny explains. “And I asked them if there was a piece of furniture that they particularly loved.” Together, they looked closely at the many pieces of beautiful furniture that filled the home but centered their discussion on a cabinet just off their meeting room.

 

“The client loved this one particular piece of furniture,” Jenny says. “The client asked me, ‘Can we make the kitchen look like this?’ And we had our visual direction.”

 

Opening Up Space was the First Challenge

Set in a corner of a stately, 100-year old home, the new kitchen needed to sit in what was a small kitchen, butler’s pantry, dining room and office, as well as an attic that had to be opened up for the cathedral ceiling.

 

With demolition complete, Jenny used the constraints of the space to determine both the flow of the room and where cabinets needed to be to create a truly user-centered space. “We went through various scenarios before arriving at our final layout,” Jenny says. “But having the look established simplified our design process.”

 

The Plans Come Together and the Build Starts

With the plans finalized, the build began. The client had asked for Custom Wood Products from the outset, and Jenny worked closely with our production team to ensure every detail would work — from wood, color and design choices to cabinet and detail specifications.

 

Seeing the kitchen come to life under her watchful eye was a particularly rewarding part of the process. With the main pieces installed, details and finishing elements were added, and the goal of a chef-centered, light-filled gathering place was met.
