The Right Recipe
PHOTOGRAPHER: SCOTT BOURDEN
Family meal time is a staple for this Naperville, Illinois, couple and their three children. So when they started building their new home, they knew they needed to mix equal parts cooking and dining into the design. To cook up their culinary quarters, they looked to the design team at Casa by Charleston.
The first challenge was addressing the need for a support column between the kitchen and dinette. To disguise the column, Casa by Charleston built a custom cabinetry pass-through that kept an open view between the kitchen and the adjoining dining space and made serving food and passing dishes from one room to the other a breeze. A two-tier island in the main kitchen area provides prep space on the lower level and a dining bar on the upper level.
Two copper sinks tie in beautifully with the custom copper hood, which is accented with a backsplash of Italian tile. Other notable features include a masonry wood-burning pizza oven and a flooring mix of hardwood intersecting travertine that accentuates the space’s unique shape. In the end, all the design details came together into just the right recipe for this family of five. Learn more about this designer at www.casabycharleston.com.
