Holland’s Custom Cabinets created a masterpiece of rustic cabinetry coupled with natural stone elements throughout this home located in the picturesque, rural town of Alpine, California.
The cherry exterior of the flush inset kitchen cabinets features a high-gloss finish that lends a unique, high-luster appearance. The space is bathed in abundant natural and artificial lighting, thanks to skylights, under-cabinet lights, and overhead fixtures.
The focal point of the kitchen is the stunning brick and rock work surrounding the 48-inch-wide stove, complemented by a custom hood scaled to fit the room.
Design elements such as decorative end panels and rope legs on the island, and a mix of panel-ready and non-panel-ready appliances throughout the kitchen, add to the rustic charm.
Standout features include the quartzite countertop, which boasts a chiseled live edge that enhances the kitchen’s distinctive character, and a stunning kitchen hutch that showcases select kitchenware while also providing extra storage with quick access to regularly used items.
The walk-in pantry accommodates a wide variety of kitchen items, such as non-perishable food, baking supplies, snacks, condiments, spices, beverages, and even storage for gadgets, small appliances, and paper goods. The use of adjustable, radius u-shaped shelves optimizes storage efficiency.
The bar area features cabinetry made from reclaimed barnwood. This material, sourced from aged lumber, offers an authentic, time-worn look that blends perfectly with the home’s overall design. Located just off the kitchen, the bar boasts similar styled countertops and stonework, tying the spaces together.
The laundry room features distressed, light-stained wood cabinets to create a more spacious feel. Overlay cabinets maintain the home’s design style while providing practical storage solutions. Additional features include a drop-down area for a sewing machine and a small door for an under-cabinet cat litter box, adding to the room’s functionality.
A custom-built, oversized executive desk and a coffered wood ceiling stained to match it create a cohesive, simple, but elegant look in this home office. Storage options within the desk and adjoining cabinetry offer practical solutions for storing stationery and files out of sight, maintaining a clean and professional appearance.
