From design to built

A long island, a centered range and three glowing pendants: the winning kitchen plan came to life

6/10 likeness to the winning design

The built kitchen keeps the core of the winning layout: a range wall with white shaker uppers facing a long island with a sink, bar seating for four and a row of three cylindrical pendants, all opening into the living area. The palette moved toward an all-white look, with white lower cabinets and island, beige stone counters, a shimmering stainless basketweave backsplash and a dark plank floor, where the design had espresso lowers, white marble-look tops, a striped mosaic and light wood.

What was kept

The overall layout: a straight range wall with the range centered between cabinet runs, facing a long parallel island
The island as the heart of the room, with the sink set into it and four bar stools along the open side
Three slim cylindrical white pendants in a row over the island, very close to the renders
White shaker-style upper cabinets with long bar pulls along the range wall
A stainless pro-style range as the centerpiece, with banks of drawers on either side
A stainless French-door refrigerator near the end of the cabinetry
Warm cream walls and an open connection to the living space, in the spirit of taking walls down

What changed

The espresso lower cabinets and dark island became white, giving an all-white cabinet scheme
The island has raised-panel white end and back panels; the open display shelving at its end isn't visible in the photos
The striped linear mosaic backsplash became a full-height stainless basketweave tile
The under-cabinet hood and the microwave cabinet gave way to a stainless chimney hood
White marble-look counters became speckled beige stone
The single farmhouse sink became an undermount double stainless sink with a pull-down faucet
Light oak floors became a dark wood-look plank floor
The white X-back stools became wood-and-black swivel stools on chrome bases
Where the refrigerator sits relative to the range wall is hard to confirm from these views

Highlights

The metallic basketweave backsplash running up behind the chimney hood catches the light and makes the range wall a real focal point
The long stone island with its row of pendants reads beautifully against the living room and stone fireplace beyond
Crisp white cabinetry against the dark floor gives the room a bright, fresh contrast
The sculpted wood swivel stools add warmth and character to the island
