New England Ease

$0.00

This Quogue, NY, kitchen pairs timeless craftsmanship with a tailored New England–inspired palette, anchored by custom cabinetry from Bakes & Kropp’s Stratton Collection. Hand painted in Farrow & Ball’s Wine Dark, the cabinetry brings richness and structure to the space, with storage extending from floor to ceiling to create a strong architectural backdrop. Relic Walnut accents and light stone surfaces soften the composition, resulting in a kitchen that feels both refined and inviting.

A generous island defines the primary work zone, featuring a warm walnut countertop and a sink positioned for everyday cooking and entertaining. Two additional sinks support the kitchen’s multi-zone layout—one in a secondary prep area and another in the wet bar and coffee station—allowing multiple tasks to happen simultaneously without interruption. At the center, a sculptural brass-banded walnut range hood grounds the space and draws the eye.

Brass accents found in the lighting, hardware, and plumbing add a subtle layer of polish, complementing the saturated cabinetry and natural materials. Mesh-front cabinetry offers texture and depth, while thoughtful functional details include TV-concealing pocket doors, dedicated storage for bar essentials, and a roll-out tray beneath the coffee machine. Close collaboration with the homeowner—whose strong aesthetic sensibility guided key decisions—helped shape a kitchen designed for flow, flexibility, and everyday elegance.
