Fully Loaded
Professionals by day, chefs by night, these homeowners
consider entertaining to be the center of their active lifestyle.
This kitchen in their upscale Buffalo suburb home was a
collaboration between the homeowners and designers Kathy
Fedak and Keith Specht. Together, they created a high-end
modern room with top-notch materials and a variety of textures.
The homeowners stripped down the dining room as well
as the kitchen and combined the spaces to create multiple
working zones: prep area, cooking area with five-burner
cooktop and double oven, cleaning zone with oversized
sink and two dishwashers, entertainment area, and storage.
A custom floor-to-ceiling 13-foot pantry wall offers plenty
of storage and accommodates the homeowners’ growing
cookbook collection. A pantry with retractable doors houses
all the small appliances.
One of the two islands includes a prep sink and storage
for immediate necessities. The other is used for entertaining and houses a refrigerator, wine cooler, and icemaker. A
stainless steel column supports a granite slab surrounded by leather barstools. An indoor grill in the dining room, adjacent to the kitchen, allows for inside meal-making
with an outdoor twist. A perfect spot for morning coffee is nestled in the bay window. The owners couldn’t have asked
for anything more in this fully loaded creation! Learn more about this designer at www.artisankitchensandbaths.com
