NICHOLSON BUILDERS, INC.
COLUMBUS, OHIO
This kitchen's unique design was achieved
using varying shapes and sizes as well as rare
and exquisite materials. The clients desired a
modern culinary kitchen with a curving island that
connected to their dining area. Challenges
included integrating a curved island into an area
where the doors and windows could not be
moved because of the limestone façade on the
exterior. Removing an existing peninsula and
replacing it with a racetrack circulation pattern
allowed for the new 16-foot island. Other design
features include a second coffer system with
custom light fixture mounts shaped like the island.
The result is a space that brings the clients joy
every time they use it.

REVENT REMODELING & CONSTRUCTION
AUSTIN, TEXAS
This narrow galley kitchen was small, dark and
dysfunctional. As entertainers and huge foodies,
the clients felt isolated from guests in the living
room when they were preparing food in the
kitchen. To create an open, beautiful and functional
space, the wall dividing the kitchen and living room
was removed for better entertaining. This also
provided clear sight lines and views into the
backyard. Custom white cabinetry on the perimeter
now contrasts with the navy 14-foot kitchen island
and provides ample serving and work space.
Brass hardware and fixtures, a navy hex backsplash
and a high-end appliance package help complete
the design.
