This kitchen remodel was inspired by the homeowner’s Montana vacation retreat.  The rustic box beam ceiling frames the space while the matching columns anchor the island on both sides.  The two-level island helps hide the sink from the family room.  The pendant lights are a focal point but the clear glass does not obstruct the view of the kitchen or the hood.  The multi colored slate backsplash brightens the deep wood knotty alder cabinetry and ties together the cream color of the island cabinets.  The Sub-Zero refrigerator is paneled to match the rest of the cabinetry in the space.  The hood is a chimney style, mixing stucco and wood.  The glass in the cabinets is seedy.

The marble countertop dominates this kitchen design.  We used a double thick mitered edge on the stonenthat waterfalls over the side of the cabinetry, creating a dramatic and clean look. The full height backsplash is in matching marble.  The contrasting dark inset cabinet grounds the space and lends weight to the wall of appliances and pantries.  The dark cabinetry was also used to set the bar apart at the end of the kitchen.  Using large clear glass, round light fixtures over the island help anchor the placement of the custom cabinetry.  The red Wolf knobs on the cooktop compliment the homeowner’s red stools. The pops of color make the kitchen come to life.

Below is a signature kitchen design for Karr Bick Kitchen & Bath.  We are space planning, design, color, function and budgeting experts.  When working through this design dilemma we knew we had to make it function, it had to feel like a vacation, and it had to be budget friendly.  Of course, people bring us all sorts of design ideas, pictures of Houzz kitchens, Pinterest kitchens, kitchens of “insta” and usually we can weed through all of that to pull together the look you want on the budget you have.  So “voila” the kitchen you see below is hearts, minds and dreams coming together.  It mixes a tiny bit of custom with some inexpensive materials.  The end product is one of our favorites!

This is a perfect example of a small but mighty kitchen design in St. Louis.  The removal of a wall allowed this kitchen to open up to a breakfast room which makes this small space feel roomy enough for a young family.  The interactions between mom, dad and the kids have been enhanced through the open sightlines and addition of the breakfast bar in the peninsula.  Small kitchen design ideas usually focus on space planning. The beautiful and classic details of this kitchen are what make this tiny space so powerful.  The bold use of color in the sea glass cabinetry of the peninsula and pantry room mixed with large over scaled pendant lights make you understand there is also much fun to be had here.   The herringbone backsplash gives texture to the kitchen and pulls all the colors together.

Charm, that was the word our client used over and over.  She wanted a charming kitchen design that allowed her to cook and interact with friends and family.  This Jack Arnold designed home was oozing with interesting details in the exterior design, so it made it easy to follow through when designing the interior spaces.  There were several transitions to be thought through including, the rustic box beams and columns and how the cabinets and lights related to their spacing, also the ways the stairs wrap into the great room and interact with the floor.   We brought the lights from her previous home and hung them over the massive island.  The Sub Zero refrigerator and dishwasher is paneled and tucked away.  The Wolf cooking appliances are on full display red knobs and all!  The kitchen island cabinetry has a small crown detail at the top and simple X pattern on the ends and back adding to the charm and furniture feel.  The gray colored cabinets complement the floor and are warmed by the cream of the perimeter cabinets.  The dark black stone tops are softened by their matte finish.  The dark metal kitchen cabinet hardware is a perfect accent […]

This stunner is sure to go into your “kitchen ideas” folder on Pinterest!  This kitchen remodel included the big idea of moving the kitchen into what was once a sitting room.  Taking advantage of the vaulted ceiling and massive windows, the most used room of the house dominates the first floor.  The large stainless steel hood is the focal point of the room, your eye directed there by the massive walnut island countertop.  The backsplash behind the cooktop is curved glass in a combination of colors that pull together all the shades of gray and cream in the kitchen design.  The wolf ovens are installed in a flush inset application allowing them to look flush with the cabinetry.  The Subzero refrigerator and freezer are hidden seamlessly behind cabinet panels.  The open shelves are massive in height, and made charming by the addition of bead board to the rear of the cabinetry.  The bar also doubles as a butlers pantry and has a SubZero beverage center with cabinet panel.
