Schultz Kitchen I

There’s a lot to see in the Schultz kitchen, since from top to bottom I designed, fabricated, and installed pretty much every detail, with the exception of appliances of course, and concrete countertops and tilework done by my good friend Ben Baker at Covenant Tile and Stone.  There are the Box Shelves which got their previous feature post.  But there’s enough that I would like to spread out the work over a series of posts.

For the serious foodie, you need a serious kitchen.  And this one doesn’t mess around.  A big Dacor commercial-style range with a stainless steel hood is prominently featured, as well as a deep single-basin sink with a tall sprayer/spigot combo faucet. Tile from the counter height up provides the backdrop for a variety of open shelving, which provides ready access to dishes, canisters, and cookware.  Base cabinet system is IKEA.  Industrial boiler “bulkhead-style” steel frames accent the kitchen window and a big pass-through to a small bar into the dining room.  Lighting is all original design by Anastasis.  Flooring throughout the kitchen and upstairs level is Cali Bamboo – beautiful and super durable.

Stay tuned for more.

Pallet Wall Timelapse

Another element of the Schultz house takes shape – a pallet wood wall for the dining room.  I love wood – especially wood with such variety and unique rough character as pallet wood.  I’ve started parting out pallets in advance, and storing the wood in a dry storage locker.  That meant this was a quick install – only offsite work was ripping the boards to four different widths on the table saw.
