The client's goal with this kitchen was to provide
form and function with a dramatic center piece: a
bold, luxurious quartz waterfall countertop.
Contained within the countertop are plenty of
storage cabinets, a wine cooler, and a gas cooktop.
A remote controlled ceiling hood is concealed
above and provides different lighting moods.
Custom European cabinetry features an integrated
pocket door system that conceals the built-in
workstation sink and high-end smart appliances
when entertaining. Out of sight, out of mind! LED
lights saturate the space and provide the perfect
environment for hosting guests.

GWEN KLEIN INTERIOR DESIGN
AUSTIN, TEXAS
A large, traditional home with a gorgeous view had
suffered an unfortunate kitchen remodel prior to the
client's purchase. Too many cabinets too close together
encumbered movement and function. An awkward pony
wall with columns divided the space, obscured the view
and minimized family room space. The goal was to make
the kitchen look great and function well. No square
footage was added, but now the kitchen is spacious,
function has been optimized, and there's a new focus on
the view. The traditional style was maintained, but
enhanced with modern, elegant touches, including a
marble tile backsplash in a herringbone pattern, crown
molding, clear glass pendant lighting, grey quartz
countertops and white cabinetry.
