Catering to Form
Structural changes, such as removing walls to move kitchens closer to gathering rooms, as well as adding islands, fireplaces, and audio-video equipment are among the trends that Jim McCoy, president of The Kitchen Guild, is seeing. During one recent kitchen redesign at the Northwest, DC, home of the Garcia family, McCoy and designer Cheryl Parsons worked with the owners to blend the requirements of family, function, and ambiance.

The Garcias love to cook, so much of the workspace and professional appliances were selected based on their requests." Parsons says, including a 48-inch Thermador gas range, a 42-inch Thermador refrigerator, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Viking beverage refrigerator for ease of use for the couple's twins.

Mixing cabinetry finishes, such as dark cherry Wood-Mode cabinets for the perimeter and distressed black cabinets for the island and around the fireplace, provide Old World charm in a new setting. The kitchen's five-piece crown molding installed by The Kitchen Guild's lead carpenter, Barry Foley, emphasizes the gourmet space's elegant feel. Blend in the ambiance of a fireplace and the kitchen becomes the heart of this home.
