After a decade of being influenced by other people’s places, style professional photographer Stacey Brandford was lastly prepared to take the plunge with his own kitchen area in Toronto’s east End. To produce the open-concept eating as well as dining area Stacey as well as his wife, Anne Koehler, were after, the kitchen area needed substantial structural work. together with the assist of Ikea, his longtime collaborator (and friend) Sarah Richardson as well as her style partner Tiffany Leigh, the entire kitchen area was taken back to the studs, producing a much better flow, a lot more natural light as well as a high-contrast aesthetic. five months of building later, Stacey as well as his household agree the end result is photo perfect.
From the get-go, Stacey as well as Anne understood they desired a black as well as white kitchen. The honed bluestone floors as well as black Caesarstone counter on the island make a strong statement, so Tiffany brought in glossy white perimeter cupboards as well as counters for balance. warm wood accents as well as round fixtures soften the look.
Wrapping the shelf around the corner produces a seamless look.
Tiffany selected lower drawers instead of cupboards anywhere possible. “Pulling out a drawer is much much easier than bending down as well as browsing in the back of a cabinet,” she says. The radiator left no space for pull-out storage in the corner, so Tiffany created a white wine rack instead. “The radiator covers are original to the home as well as frankly that’s why we like them,” states Stacey. “We like to salvage when we can.”
Trading upper cupboards for open shelves supplied areas to showcase pieces from the couple’s pottery collection as well as a few of Stacey’s photography.
A magnetic board screens household photos, artwork as well as quirky memorabilia, like a indication from Toronto landmark sincere Ed’s. Stacey grew up in Jamaica as well as his household spends time in the Bahamas, so Tiffany covered one wall of the kitchen area with wave-patterned wallpaper.
Hidden behind the ideal side of the pantry is a chimney stack. It took some innovative issue solving, however Tiffany as well as Sarah were able to trim the cupboard depth to 10″ to produce a shallow pantry. The cupboards step back somewhat above the coffee bar to enable for a lot more headspace.
Here is Stacey, Anne as well as their youngsters hanging out in their awesome new kitchen.
