Avant Garde Doylestown Kitchen

Project Overview

While their existing kitchen served its purpose, this Doylestown couple longed for a space that matched their personality and cooking style. On top of their wish list was moving away from the existing traditional style to a bolder look that reflected their creative and fun nature. They also wanted a new layout that accommodated how they moved around the kitchen. They called Custom Craft to help them design a customized kitchen that felt more natural in both form and function.

Slide for Before and After Comparison

DESIGN Process

Removing a peninsula, repurposing a closet area, and relocating the refrigerator created room for several new features. In the center of the new kitchen is an expansive island with plenty of room for guests to sit and eat, along with convenient storage to make food prep easy. The island also includes a built-in workstation sink with a cutting board, strainer, and other helpful features. At one end of the island is an extra workspace cabinet with a slightly lower countertop that’s just the right size for the petite home chef. Just above the island hangs a trio of brightly colored urchin pendant lights — the perfect bit of artsy flair these homeowners were looking for.

Across from the island, an eye-catching teal subway tile backsplash provides a fun focal point. An induction cooktop is flanked on either side by two ovens — one convection and the other a speed oven that uses microwave technology to cook quickly and evenly. On the opposite wall, what was closet space is now a wet bar perfect for easy and elegant entertaining.

FROM THE OWNERS

“Custom Craft transformed our awful kitchen into the kitchen of our dreams! For us it was a big job and we wanted it to be perfect. We talked with several different design and build services and immediately felt comfortable at Custom Craft (. . .) We love our new kitchen and will definitely call Custom Craft the next time a home remodel project comes up. I recommend them highly to anyone looking for quality design and craftsmanship.”
