Designed by Meg O’Neill at the Cabinet Discounters showroom in Annapolis, MD, our featured project this week is a kitchen renovation that brings together a spacious layout, contrasting cabinetry, and practical features to create a space suited for both cooking and gathering.
The project features Brighton Cabinetry with Heritage door style throughout the kitchen. The perimeter cabinets are finished in Maple White, while the large center island features a contrasting blue Maple Custom finish. The combination helps distinguish the island from the surrounding cabinetry while maintaining a consistent design throughout the room. Black cabinet hardware provides a finishing touch to both cabinet colors.
The island is a central feature of the kitchen, offering a generous amount of countertop space and seating along multiple sides. Additional storage is incorporated into the island cabinetry, along with a built-in microwave. Three pendant lights hang above the island, complementing the cabinetry and providing lighting for the seating and work areas.
Calacatta Miraggio Lusso quartz was selected for the countertops and full-height backsplash. The white surface features subtle gray veining that works well with both cabinet finishes. Extending the quartz from the countertops up the walls creates a consistent appearance throughout the kitchen, including behind the range and beneath the upper cabinets. The full-height backsplash also makes everyday cleaning easier by eliminating the grout lines typically found with tile.
Additional details include a custom range hood that matches the perimeter cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a combination of drawers and cabinets for kitchen storage. The layout provides ample workspace around the range and sink, while the large island gives family members and guests a place to sit without interfering with the main cooking areas.
The completed kitchen reflects a balance of functionality and design, with coordinated finishes, practical storage, and plenty of room for daily use. With thoughtful planning by Meg O’Neill and carefully selected materials, the homeowners now have a kitchen that accommodates both everyday routines, family gathering, and entertaining.
