We did this project for Ken Foster, one of the finest and most knowledgeable builders we have ever met. He had a very specific vision and we were so grateful he put his faith in us. The wood is 200 year old quarter sawn white oak. Since it was sawed out of old timber there was no material with width. We book matched every panel giving that butterfly appearance. We took great care to select the best wood grain for the focal points of the kitchen, at Ken's insistence, of course.

The cabinet to hold the 48" Sub Zero refrigerator is backed by a wall pantry setup in red crackle paint. The single tall cabinet directly behind the fridge is recessed both for visual interest in for ease of installation. It contains brooms, mops and cleaning supplies, a detail often overlooked.
