Smart Moves

1. CUSTOM MILLWORK

The beadboard ceiling, deep crown moldings, and custom range hood create a harmonious look.

2. POT FILLER

These stoveside faucets, commonly found in commercial kitchens, are becoming increasingly popular among home chefs.

3. TOUGH CORNERS

Clever cabinet inserts let the designer maximize every square inch of space.

4. RUSTIC TOUCH

An apron farmhouse sink matches the upscale French-country aesthetic.

5. FREEZER DRAWERS

Smaller freezer compartments reduce energy use and work well with the scale of the kitchen’s cabinetry.

6. BUTLER’S PANTRY

Serving pieces find a home beyond a swinging door fitted with a ship’s porthole.
