Combination cabinet kitchen design with Black perimeter cabinetry and White Oak kitchen island. Cabinetry and lighting by Village Home Stores for Advance Homes of the Quad Cities.

<p>Welcome to this handsome open-concept kitchen from Village Home Stores installed in a new Bettendorf, Iowa, home built by Advance Homes of the Quad Cities. This kitchen features our bestselling White Oak cabinetry in the &ldquo;Sand&rdquo; stain, which is used in this home as an accent color paired with black-painted cabinets.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="kitchen design by advance homes quad cities with black and white oak cabinets and seating at the island" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_white-oak-and-black-kitchen-design/OART1_advance-homes-quad-cities_1.jpg" /></p>
<p>Combination finish kitchen designs continue to be a popular choice for our remodel and new construction customers. There are several ways you can balance the finishes out in a kitchen space.</p>
<h2>A Dual Finish Kitchen Design with White Oak and Black Paint</h2>
<p>In this open-concept kitchen, we combined black-painted cabinetry with an oak island. The main kitchen perimeter is fitted with our Koch Classic Cabinetry line in the Savannah Maple door, which has a &ldquo;Black&rdquo; paint applied.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="close up images of black painted cabinets and white oak light stained cabinets with brass handle hardware and backplates" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_white-oak-and-black-kitchen-design/OART1_white-oak-and-black-paint_2.jpg" /></p>
<p>At the center of the design is a White Oak kitchen island from our Wynnbrooke line in the Denali door, which has been stained with " Sand.&rdquo;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="corner of kitchen design with reeded glass pantry door and black cabinets" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_white-oak-and-black-kitchen-design/OART1_village-home-stores_3.jpg" /></p>
<p>The finishes are balanced out in this kitchen by grounding the darker, black cabinetry on the perimeter and accenting it with a large, light wood kitchen island at the center. There is also a band of White Oak around the bottom edge of the range hood cabinet.</p>
<h2>Take a Short Video Tour of This Kitchen Design</h2>
<p>Before we spill more of the details, want to have a more proper look around? Press play below and take a short video tour of the kitchen design.</p>
<p><iframe class="dsg-block-1-youtube-video" title=“Black Painted Kitchen Design with White Oak Sand Island” src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wbkD6c9cYqA" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<h2>Kitchen Cooking Zone and Wood Range Hood Cabinet</h2>
<p>The main wall of the kitchen that faces the living room is home to the cooking zone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="savannah maple black painted Koch cabinets in kitchen design village home stores" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_white-oak-and-black-kitchen-design/OART1_savannah-maple-black_4.jpg" /></p>
<p>This wall of the kitchen is symmetrical and includes the range at the center, with plenty of countertop space and cabinet storage on either side of the cooktop. The base cabinet section has two large stacks of drawers. Our customers find that storing pots, pans, lids, and even large dishware can be best in a large drawer cabinet. Above the cooktop is a wood range hood cabinet with a hood insert concealed inside.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="black painted wood hood cabinet with white oak accent banding" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_white-oak-and-black-kitchen-design/OART1_wood-hood_5.jpg" /></p>
<p>We can order wood hood cabinets in a wide variety of sizes and styles and order them to be finished to match your kitchen cabinetry. For added interest on this wall, we ordered this hood to be taller and deeper than the surrounding wall cabinets and added that band of White Oak at the bottom. The hardware in this kitchen design is the same throughout, a Satin Brass handle from our Emtek line. Modern backplates have been added behind each handle for an elevated look.</p>
<h2>Paneled Refrigerator Surround</h2>
<p>On the other wall near the corner pantry is a section of cabinetry that includes a wide countertop landing space and the refrigerator. A microwave drawer is included on this wall and the area above it can be staged up as a beverage station or breakfast bar area.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="black painted cabinetry in Bettendorf iowa kitchen by village home stores" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_white-oak-and-black-kitchen-design/OART1_bettendorf-kitchen_6.jpg" /></p>
<p>The refrigerator is surrounded by a deep upper cabinet and tall panels on each side. When your kitchen design includes the refrigerator in a more exposed area, and not against a wall, it is important to surround the unit. By adding a tall finished end panel on both sides of the refrigerator, the kitchen has a clear and distinct endpoint at that refrigerator. This is especially important in this great room as the fridge end faces the main living space and greets visitors as they enter the room from the front door.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="new home kitchen design with island and corner pantry " src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_white-oak-and-black-kitchen-design/OART1_new-home-kitchen-design_7.jpg" /></p>
<p>One of our favorite elements of the L-shaped layout isn&rsquo;t even from our store. The corner pantry door is also painted black to compliment the design and the glass in it is a reeded/fluted texture. The look is super chic and right on trend.</p>
<h2>Kitchen Island Design</h2>
<p>We know that the kitchen is the hub of any home, and the hub of that hub in a great-room kitchen is the island. This island layout boasts storage from every side. The kitchen island cabinetry is assembled using our Wynnbrooke Cabinetry line. This is the Denali shaker-style door in White Oak with the Sand stain applied.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="kitchen island design with large countertop and seating overhang plus storage on every side" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_white-oak-and-black-kitchen-design/OART1_kitchen-island-design_8.jpg" /></p>
<p>There is storage accessible on every side of this large kitchen island, including a pullout wastebasket cabinet and full-height door cabinets on each end as well as at the back underneath the seating overhang. Our customers love added storage like this that faces the living room space. It can be a great place to stash toys, games, or overflow dishes and serving ware. There is an overhang for added seating on two of the ends including the length that is closest to the living room.</p>
<h2>New Home Cabinetry and Lighting</h2>
<p>We didn&rsquo;t just work with Advance Homes in the kitchen in this new construction home, we provided cabinetry and lighting throughout. The same painted black Savannah door was installed in the Primary Bathroom in a dual sink layout with linen tower at the center.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="black painted vanity cabinets in primary bathroom" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_white-oak-and-black-kitchen-design/OART1_black-vanity-cabinets_9.jpg" /></p>
<p>We also provided lighting for this project. The sconces (above) in the Primary Bath are among some of our favorites from this home. Four sconces from our Capital Lighting line surround the mirrors, each with two lights. A soft gold finish at the center, the sconces are a Transitional style and can be installed vertically (shown above) or horizontally. The lighting above the kitchen island is also a gold and white combination.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="aged brass and linen shade pendant lights in kitchen" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_white-oak-and-black-kitchen-design/OART1_pendant-lights_10.jpg" /></p>
<p>A pair of &ldquo;Speakeasy&rdquo; pendants from our Alora line hang above the large kitchen island. Each measures 18&rdquo; wide and has an Aged Gold metal finish with White Linen shades. Designing a kitchen with our team? We will work with your lighting salesperson at Village to make sure we select the right size, style, and quantity for your kitchen island lighting. The perfect choice for this space, these same pendants could work using a single fixture in a foyer or small stairwell. Other favorite lighting selections for this home are found at the front door.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="front entry home lighting" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_white-oak-and-black-kitchen-design/OART1_front-entry-lighting_11.jpg" /></p>
<p>A pair of &ldquo;Meridan&rdquo; outdoor arm lanterns by Savoy House light up the stylish front stoop. We love the creative layout of windows and lighting for this first impression. A clearstory window above the front door gives you a peek at the foyer lighting waiting inside. The chandelier is from our Capital Lighting line and can be installed with Black Iron (shown) candle sleeves or a contrasting white candle sleeve to mimic a true candle look.</p>

White Oak and Black Cabinet Kitchen Design

A peek at the progress at a remodel project between the before and after. Village Home Stores shares some updates from a recent remodel job site. 

<p>We share a lot of beautiful before-and-after stories here on the blog, but with a home remodel project, what happens between the before and after is a very important part of that story. Truth is these days anyone can post a photo of a finished project and say it is their work. But this isn&rsquo;t a haircut or a cupcake order, folks, it&rsquo;s your home! You are investing in your home project, so invest in a team that you can trust to get the job done right the first time. If you are considering removing walls or involving any subcontractors, you need to know that there is a plan in place, and everything will happen in sequence to get you across the finish line. And projects like the one we are sharing today are no place for you to entertain hiring someone based off an &ldquo;I know a guy&rdquo; scenario. You need a team and a process that does this work every day. </p>
<p><img alt="side by side images with demoed kitchen on left and finished bright kitchen remodel on the right" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_village-between-before-and-after/OART1_kitchen-remodeling_01.png" /></p>
<p>We just wrapped up an entire first-floor renovation in a Geneseo, Illinois home that involved a full demo, relocation of the kitchen, and wall removals. Instead of just posting the finished space, we stopped by throughout the process to document some of the transformation for you. So, if you are curious to have a bit of a peek behind the curtain and see some of the lead-up to the finished kitchen feature, you have come to the right place. And don&rsquo;t worry, we will be sharing the finished kitchen in our next post because WOW, it turned out beautiful!</p>
<h2>A Peek at Our Process Between the Before and After</h2>
<p><img alt="side by side images of torn out dining room on left and finished kitchen with bench seat below window on right" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_village-between-before-and-after/OART1_remodel-before-after_02.png" /></p>
<p>With this post we wanted to give you a more in-depth look into what happens between before and after in a large-scale remodel project with Village Home Stores. The remodel project management designing and estimating process at Village has many stages leading up to the point where you are reviewing detailed inclusion sheets or signing a contract with us. Hours of time and attention are given to your project long before anything is ordered or scheduled. </p>
<p><img alt="side by side of kitchen remodel torn up on left and finished on the right with painted cabinets and black stainless dishwasher" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_village-between-before-and-after/OART1_kitchen-remodel-before-after_03.png" /></p>
<p>For this project, we converted the original dining room area into a new kitchen location. We also opened the floor plan and replaced the flooring with a new consistent material throughout. Walls came down, doorways were widened, hallways were removed, and new walls went up. </p>
<h2>Tour the Space After Demo </h2>
<p><img alt="images of kitchen remodel demo shown right after tear out and again with designer and carpenter discussing doorway" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_village-between-before-and-after/OART1_kitchen-remodel-demo_04.png" /></p>
<p>Because the footprint of the first floor was expected to change quite a bit from the original plan, we wanted to show you the space ahead of some of those changes. We stopped by to take a quick tour of the jobsite with the designer, Angela, so she could walk us through the plan for the new first floor. Take a look: </p>
<p><iframe class="dsg-block-1-youtube-video" title=“PART 1: Geneseo Kitchen Remodel After Demo Stage” src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KPVcuBGh20Q" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>We often find notes when we begin tearing out kitchen and bathroom spaces. These notes are typically from past homeowners or the crews who worked on the spaces last. Did you catch the messages we found in that video? </p>
<p><img alt="kitchen remodel demo images with hidden messages revealed on walls after tear out" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_village-between-before-and-after/OART1_hidden-messages_05.png" /></p>
<p>We love the one about a carpenter&rsquo;s upcoming nuptials, &ldquo;he was getting pretty nervous about now, only 13 days &lsquo;till he gets married,&rdquo; and the most Midwest message ever referencing the weather, and it being a mild winter at the time the wall was being finished off. Messages like this are a great reminder that the work being done will be in use for many years to come. It is important to hire teams you trust. It also warms our hearts to know that some parts of our industry never change. We are still the type of team that connects with a home and the people and pets who live there. Each job is different from the next, and we love that about the work we do. </p>
<p><img alt="images of kitchen remodel during demo phase and with temporary wall in place" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_village-between-before-and-after/OART1_demo-during_06.png" /></p>
<p>As you saw in the first video, we installed a long temporary support wall spanning the space. This gave subcontractors and our crews safe support as we completed removing elements of the original footprint that needed to come out, but offered support for the home. With the temporary wall in place, we could begin to build the new support system for the project before removing the temporary wall. </p>
<h2>Framed Up, Roughed in, and Ready for Install </h2>
<p><img alt="kitchen remodel shown during the rough in phase with new headers and walls built in place for the new kitchen location" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_village-between-before-and-after/OART1_demo-during_06.png" /></p>
<p>We returned to the jobsite not long after that previous video once the new wall work was complete and the plumbers and electricians were finished up roughing in for the installation to begin. Support beams and headers are now in place, and the walls for the new location of the kitchen are all framed up. Take another quick tour of that new footprint for the kitchen and dining spaces: </p>
<p><iframe class="dsg-block-1-youtube-video" title=“Part 2: Geneseo Remodel Framed up and Ready For the New Kitchen” src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lmJR-E_W8qg" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>As you can see, for wall-work remodels like this, there are a lot of crews involved, and many times we need to allow for inspections in the schedule. Your original schedule will be set and shared within our project management app. Any changes or updates made to that schedule can be communicated with you and the other crews right within the app. Having the schedule and subcontractor information in a digital format like this can be helpful if you want to check in on things from work or even if you plan to be out of town while the work is being done. We often complete kitchen and bath remodels for &ldquo;snowbirds&rdquo; while they winter somewhere warm. The app allows us to keep them updated on the progress and give them access to information when they want it. </p>
<p><img alt="images of remodel crew and kitchen designer from village home stores discussing remodeling job at site" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_village-between-before-and-after/OART1_during-kitchen-remodel_07.png" /></p>
<h2>Final Walkthrough Appointment</h2>
<p>In the final days of your remodel project, we will reach out to confirm a time for a final walkthrough of the work. Even though we may still have workers active on site, we can all see the finish line and we are gearing up for the job to be completed soon so you can move into the new space. </p>
<p><img alt="finished kitchen image with large island and tall pantry cabinets" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_village-between-before-and-after/OART1_remodel-walkthrough_09.png" /></p>
<p>We stopped by again at the same job during the final walkthrough appointment to show you more in-depth what to expect at this meeting. Take a look:</p>
<p><iframe class="dsg-block-1-youtube-video" title=“Part 3: Remodel Project Management Final Walkthrough Appointment” src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8fyUtPmmdkM" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>As you saw in that video, there is nothing &ldquo;final&rdquo; about the final walkthrough appointment. You will still see our team on site again, and we will be in communication to wrap up anything that was noted and recorded as warranty issues during that appointment. This meeting on site is our chance for you to communicate with your designer and project manager about anything you may have noticed or have concerns about. We are also able to give a detailed look around everywhere to check the work done by our team and any subcontractors we sent to your home. </p>
<h2>Start Your Own Remodel Story with Us</h2>
<p>Has this information made you look a little more curiously at that wall in your own kitchen you wish wasn&rsquo;t there? Have you thought about moving your kitchen, laundry, or primary suite to a whole new location in your home? We can help with that! While we can&rsquo;t promise the project will be done in two weeks&hellip; would you really want us to? We have a process in place, and we continue to adapt it and make it even better with each project we complete. We hope this peek into some of our process has helped you understand why working with our team gets you the result you want with quality work and materials that will last you for decades. </p>
<p><img alt="closeup of man in blue sleeves making notes on file folder in kitchen" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_village-between-before-and-after/OART1_kitchen-remodel-process_10.png" /></p>
<p>If you are ready to start your own before-and-after story with Village Home Stores, your first step is just to connect with our team. We value your time, and we hope you value ours so we do recommend making an appointment to allow us to discuss your project in our showroom and answer any questions you may have about what you can expect.

Peek at Our Kitchen Remodel Process Between the Before and After

Tour the new accessible kitchen design from Village Home Stores for Inspire Continuing Care in Geneseo, Illinois. 

<p>This was a dream project that we were recently able to complete just down the street from our store. Every single kitchen or bath that Village Home Stores installs is unique and important for the users, and we know this design will provide access and independence that will make a big impact for many households in our community. Successful in function and style, we are excited to have the opportunity to show you around the finished space.</p>
<h2>A New Kitchen for Inspire Continuing Care in Geneseo, Illinois</h2>
<p>The team at Inspire Continuing Care works with participants to help them gain skills and independence so that they can thrive and contribute to our community. And believe us when we say that this group is an important part of our Geneseo community! We love to see so many adventures they go on around the area, and we are so incredibly proud to have set up a kitchen design that can truly help to champion efforts and build confidence for the participants in a kitchen setting. We have partnered with the staff at Inspire to design a space that is accessible for all abilities.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="village home stores kitchen design for inspire with large center island and maple stained cabinets" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_village-home-stores-inspire-kitchen-comp_01.jpg" /></p>
<p>The new kitchen is in a large open space filled with great daylight, activity tables, and it&rsquo;s just a few feet away from the updated ICC lounge area across the hall. The cabinetry is from our Koch Classic line, and this is the Savannah door in a Maple wood with a &ldquo;Frontier&rdquo; stain applied. We are thankful that Koch Cabinets has ADA options available and affordable in their catalog. We were able to have the cabinetry arrive on site with ADA modifications already made to the toe space, height, and shape of the cabinetry.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="three wheelchair users rolled up to the kitchen island with young man holding hands open showing the kitchen" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_inspire-continuing-care-comp_02.jpg" /></p>
<p>A few years back, we were able to help install a new kitchen classroom at Geneseo High School for the life skills program in place there. That kitchen design also included accessible design choices for students to be able to interact with the space as they learned. This new kitchen at Inspire allows for an extension of that program to build on those skills. The young adults and their families find support and tools to gain more confidence, life skills, and even job skills training to lead to opportunities for post-high school careers and independence as adults in our community.</p>
<h2>Before and After Kitchen Remodel Story</h2>
<p>This project was managed from start to finish by the complete project management remodel team at Village Home Stores, from designing, estimating, and material selection to installation and scheduling. The remodel was completed while Inspire kept their program running for participants.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="black glass cooktop with reflection of kitchen guests in glass" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_inspire-geneseo_03.jpg" /></p>
<p>Before we dive into the details, you are welcome to take a full video tour of the space and see the project come to life. Just press play below to watch this segment from our TV show, the Village Home Show.</p>
<p><iframe class="dsg-block-1-youtube-video" title=“Accessible Kitchen Design With Large Island by Village Home Stores” src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-5Srln0q7tM" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>It's an incredible kitchen, isn&rsquo;t it? This updated room is not just used for snacks and meals; it is also a shared space for events and activities that Inspire hosts for the community. With the large kitchen and island in the same bright space as the tables in the same room, this is now a versatile and stylish room to host guests. We were so thrilled to see how many people could fit into the kitchen during their open house event.</p>
<h2>There&rsquo;s a Place for Everyone at This Kitchen Island</h2>
<p>There is a large kitchen island at the center of all activity, and a place for everyone to use that island comfortably. It is over 11 feet long and nearly 4 &frac12; feet deep in size. The cooking zone side faces the main kitchen wall, and the entire back end includes an overhang that can accommodate guests using chairs or wheelchairs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="adults and young adults standing and in wheelchairs surround a large kitchen island with cooktop and hood above" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_large-kitchen-island-design_04.jpg" /></p>
<p>The best way to learn about the function of a kitchen island design is to see it in action. We visited this kitchen on a busy day and grabbed some footage of it getting used for snacks and lunch. Press play below to watch a quick video tour of the kitchen island and our favorite features.</p>
<p><iframe class="dsg-block-1-youtube-video" title=“Accessible Kitchen Design With Large Island by Village Home Stores” src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4CBTGCBpd8w" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>As you saw in that video, we even protected the back of the kitchen island with a durable, washable surface that matched the kitchen backsplash. The tiles used in this application allow shoes and chairs to not be a threat to the back of the island over time. Plus, the look of the tile is amazing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="kitchen island design for wheelchair users with overhang and tiled back area in textured white tile and herringbone pattern install design" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_tile-on-back-of-island-comp_05.jpg" /></p>
<p>The tile on the island back and kitchen backsplash wall is a mix of multiple textures applied to tiles that measure 4&rdquo; x 12&rdquo; in size. The tile is from the same supplier as our &ldquo;Carrara Breve&rdquo; countertops: MSI. This is the &ldquo;Urbano 3D Mix&rdquo; series in Ivory. The patterns catch the light so well and bring a lot of playful texture to the space without making it too busy. We have installed it in a herringbone pattern in both locations for even more added interest.</p>
<h2>ADA Accessible Cabinet Choices for Kitchen Design</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="images showing wheelchair clearance for path between kitchen sink wall and island" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_wheelchair-kitchen-pathway-comp_0601.jpg" /></p>
<p>As you saw above in the videos, we wanted to be sure that each area of the kitchen was accessible to reach and maneuver around. This is equally important for those just navigating the kitchen pathways for visiting and those using areas like the kitchen sink and dishwasher zone, and the cooking zone. We left 5&rsquo; of walkway space from the kitchen sink wall to the island. This leaves plenty of space to allow a full rotation of a wheelchair user and even allows for two users to pass by each other as they work in the spaces.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="images showing wheelchair clearance for path between kitchen sink wall and island" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_wheelchair-pathway-comp_06.jpg" /></p>
<p>A minimum of 60&rdquo; is recommended for this wheelchair turning radius allowance. If more space can be allowed, we do recommend it. Just keep in mind that moving two zones too far apart can sometimes cause added stress, as countertop surfaces may not stay within reach if you are traveling down the center of the path.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="infographic showing 8 &frac14;&rdquo; tall and 6&rdquo; deep ada toekick on Koch cabinet" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_ada-toekick-size-comp_07.jpg" /></p>
<p>An ADA-height toe-kick modification was added to the base cabinets on the sink wall and the island. This adjusts the toe-kick space to an 8 &frac14;&rdquo; tall by 6&rdquo; deep recess area for more comfortable feet and chair clearance. If you are considering a project with our team and want to install accessible or age-in-place investments, we can order cabinetry for your kitchen, bath, or laundry room with this same ADA toe space allowance.</p>
<h2>Maytag Cooktop + Built-in Oven</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="maytag electric cooktop in accessible roll up cabinet with stainless hood above and maytag wall oven in kitchen island" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_accessible-cooktop-cabinet_08.jpg" /></p>
<p>Meals and snack options just got leveled up with the new Maytag cooking zone installed! We included an electric cooktop in the kitchen island and a built-in Maytag oven unit right next to it. The cooktop can be used for users who stand, sit, or wheel up to the cooking zone. The wall oven on the right corner of the island can be easily accessed if standing or sitting.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="close up of black glass electric cooktop with stainless knobs and Maytag logo" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_maytag-cooktop-comp_09.jpg" /></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.villagehomestores.com/product/maytag-30-electric-cooktop-mec8830h-192528"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Maytag cooktop</span></a> is 30&rdquo; wide and has a versatile burner layout perfect for this multi-use space. The front right burner has a Dual-Choice element that lets you match the power and the pan size to what you need. On the left, there are two burners PLUS a bridge element that can be used with the reversible grill/griddle that comes with the cooktop. The pan is dishwasher safe and comes with rubber grips to protect the cooktop surface and keep it safely stable while you cook. And speaking of safety, there is a &ldquo;Hot Surface&rdquo; indicator that communicates to those in the kitchen that the glass surface is still too hot to touch or clean.</p>
<h2>Raised Height Maytag Dishwasher</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="users standing and in wheelchair loading and unloading raised dishwasher in accessible kitchen design" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_raised-dishwasher-kitchen-comp_10.jpg" /></p>
<p>For the dishwasher in this kitchen, we went with our bestselling <a href="https://www.villagehomestores.com/product/maytag-2388-built-in-dishwasher-mdb4949sk-520989"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">2-rack Maytag unit</span></a> and raised it up so that any user at the sink could easily load and unload the dishwasher while standing or rolling up to the sink. Raised dishwashers will forever be our favorite suggested feature for households looking to limit reaching or bending. The truth is, no matter what your age or physical ability, everyone can appreciate not having to reach down to the floor of the kitchen just to access the lowest rack. For the kitchen at Inspire, the staff also &ldquo;moved into&rdquo; the base cabinets using drawer storage for all plates, cups, and silverware. Now, any participant can access what they need without needing to ask for help to reach something in an upper cabinet.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="ada roll up sinkbase setup with raised dishwasher and drawer storage" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_ada-sinkbase-comp_11.jpg" /></p>
<p>The sink base is similar to the cooktop setup. An angled back panel conceals any hardware behind it and allows a wheelchair user to safely wheel up close and operate the kitchen sink.</p>
<h2>Whirlpool Sidekick Fridge + Freezer</h2>
<p>Did you know that we sell all-freezer and all-fridge Whirlpool units? We do! And when installed side-by-side with a trim kit, this pair gets you a custom-built-in setup that looks about three times the cost of what you actually paid! Whirlpool &ldquo;SideKicks&rdquo; can be installed as individual built-in units or as one connected look with the trim kit, like we did at Inspire. If you have the room for it, this setup can get you a LOT of fresh food and freezer storage, plus a customized look.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="stainless steel whirlpool sidekicks all freezer and all fridge unit with trim kit installed in a maple cabinet kitchen" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_whirlpool-sidekicks-comp_12.jpg" /></p>
<p>In this kitchen design, we surrounded the SideKicks with cabinetry, trim, and even a tall pantry unit. Want to see one in person? We have an <a href="https://www.villagehomestores.com/product/whirlpool-sidekicks-31-in-180-cu-ft-monochromatic-stainless-steel-all-refrigerator-wsr57r18dm-39593"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">all-refrigerator unit</span></a> in the Village Home Stores showroom, so come in and ask for a bottle of water.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="kitchen by village home stores with stainless refrigerator and tall pantry cabinets" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_village-home-stores-comp_13.jpg" /></p>
<p>There are two tall pantry cabinets included on a previously unused wall space. Now there are plenty of shelves for the pantry, small appliances, bulk items, and other supplies. There are also two tall pantry cabinets on the main wall of the kitchen. One on the far right end next to the raised dishwasher, and another to the right of the refrigerator. Because these two units are full-depth, we included adjustable height roll-out shelf storage inside.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="pantry cabinet storage options shown with cabinet doors open " src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-kitchen-design/OART1_pantry-storage-comp_14.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Commercial-Grade Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring</h2>
<p>Throughout the new kitchen is a new durable flooring surface ready for long-term performance. The planks are 7&rdquo; wide x 48&rdquo; long and from a line called Pentz LVT that we get from Engineered Floors. Pentz LVT is a commercial-grade product that comes from a plant in Northwest Georgia. The planks we installed at Inspire are from the Boulevard Plus LVT line, and the color is &ldquo;St. Thomas&rdquo;. So many of our LVT products at Village Home Stores come with incredible durability ratings and great warranties. That is why we curate the vendors we offer. But for some applications, a commercial-grade performance is needed. This Pentz flooring has a heavy commercial grade use rating with added antimicrobial components and a ceramic micro-bead coating. The flooring surface is also FloorScore / LEED Certified, and 100% of the materials can be recycled after use. So, keep in mind that while we offer an amazing selection of flooring and wall surfaces for your home&hellip;we can also fit your business out with stylish surfaces.</p>

New Accessible Kitchen Design at Inspire Continuing Care in Geneseo, IL

Kitchen design in Bettendorf Iowa with Accessible Beige and Birch Almond Cabinetry from Village Home Stores. 

<p>The Quad Cities is a fantastic area to live and great place to build a new home. This featured kitchen design is in an open concept layout of a brand-new home built in Bettendorf, Iowa by Aspen Homes. We were thankful to be the source for all the cabinetry, countertops, appliances, lighting, and hardware in this new construction home.</p>
<h2>Accessible Beige and Birch Almond Kitchen Design</h2>
<p>The open concept kitchen is adjacent to a casual dining area by the back deck, and the kitchen faces the great room living space. The kitchen truly becomes the hub of the home when a layout like this is used. Accessible Beige cabinetry is the perfect neutral backdrop to the main level of the home. This paint color gives a warm look without being too bold of a contrast or too bright white to seem sterile.</p>
<p><img alt="great room kitchen design with accessible beige painted cabinets and velvet sofa cushions in foreground" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-beige-and-birch-almond-kitchen/great-room-kitchen.jpg" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>We were so glad to visit this home during the daytime to see how much natural light pours into the space. The painted cabinetry finish takes on new tones throughout the day and looks great with both bright whites and wood furniture and surfaces accents.</p>
<p><img alt="quad cities kitchen design by Village Home Stores with kitchen island at the center" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-beige-and-birch-almond-kitchen/quad-cities-kitchen-design.jpg" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>The kitchen design is an L-shape with a walk-in corner pantry dividing the fridge wall from the cooking zone wall of the design. At the center of the design is a single-level island that includes the kitchen cleanup zone with an undermount stainless sink centered in the space. Q Quartz counters in the Calacatta Idillio design are installed throughout the kitchen and a full overhang at the back of the island accommodates counter-height seating.</p>
<p><img alt="side by side of birch almond cabinet finish and painted accessible beige cabinet both with satin bronze handle hardware" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-beige-and-birch-almond-kitchen/satin-bronze-handle-hardware.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>The kitchen design combines two finishes on Koch Classic Cabinetry&rsquo;s Savannah doorstyle. A Maple Almond stain is used on the island, and the perimeter cabinetry is finished in our bestselling Accessible Beige paint. The handles are from the Rickard series by Hardware Resources and the same Satin Bronze finish is used on both cabinet finishes.</p>
<h2>Take a Short Video Tour of the Kitchen</h2>
<p>Pictures can&rsquo;t tell the story quite like video can, so we invite you to press play here and take a quick video tour of the finished space.</p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="240" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ioisz8YRcdk" title="Quad Cities Kitchen With Accessible Beige Cabinets in Great Room" width="320"></iframe></p>
<p></p>
<p>On the wall that is home to the refrigerator we have included an over-the-counter microwave in the design. There is plenty of storage and countertop landing space on each side of the fridge.</p>
<p><img alt="accessible beige kitchen cabinets with stainless refrigerator and corner pantry door open" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-beige-and-birch-almond-kitchen/accessible-beige-kitchen.jpg" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>This style of microwave mounted underneath a wall cabinet and hangs over the countertop area without a range hood unit below. You get the look of a built-in appliance and keep your countertop clear. This unit is from our Sharp line and you can learn more about it <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.villagehomestores.com/product/sharp-carousel-15-cu-ft-stainless-steel-over-the-counter-microwave-r1214ty-739588" target="_blank">here on our website</a>.</span></p>
<p><img alt="base kitchen cabinets shown with doors open and sliding shelves" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-beige-and-birch-almond-kitchen/divided-base-cabinet-rollouts.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>The cabinet to the left of the refrigerator is a great example of a divided base cabinet with slide out shelves. Why are there four shelves here instead of two? Sliding shelves this wide would be very difficult to open and close once you moved into them.Once you reach a certain width, a center stile is added to the base cabinet and the shelves are separated. When the doors are closed you have the clean look of a single large cabinet.</p>
<h2>The Cooking Zone of The Kitchen</h2>
<p><img alt="accessible beige kitchen cabinets in a quad cities home. Kitchen by Village Home Stores for aspen homes" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-beige-and-birch-almond-kitchen/accessible-beige-kitchen-cabinets.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>The wall that faces the kitchen island and great room beyond is home to the cooking zone. At the center of this cooking zone is a slide-in Whirlpool gas range with full-width grates on the cooktop. This style of range without a back ledge is called a slide-in front control style. The look is very clean and allows your kitchen backsplash not to get disrupted by the rise of the control panel on other freestanding ranges.</p>
<p><img alt="kitchen storage cabinets including large pots and pans drawers and pullout utensil cabinet" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-beige-and-birch-almond-kitchen/kitchen-storage.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>The cooktop and oven is surrounded by utensils and pots and pan storage all within reach. Large stacks of wide, deep drawers are perfect for pots and pans storage and our customer favorite putout utensil cabinet is right next to the range.</p>
<p><img alt="wood rangehood cabinet painted in accessible beige" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-beige-and-birch-almond-kitchen/wood-hood-cabinet.jpg" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>A 42-inch wood hood finished in the same Accessible Beige paint is installed above the gas range. It has a Broan range hood power pack inside. This is a dream of a cooking setup for any serious home chef. Not sure how much ventilation power you need for your space? Connect with an appliance expert at Village to learn more.</p>
<p><img alt="whirlpool appliances in Bettendorf kitchen showing three level dishwasher with door open installed in island" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-beige-and-birch-almond-kitchen/whirlpool-appliances.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>Whirlpool appliances in Stainless Steel fit this kitchen design well. Never be afraid to pair Stainless Steel with other metal finishes. This kitchen space includes Stainless appliances, Satin Bronze handles, Aged Brass lighting, and a Matte Black faucet. The finished look with all these metals is harmonious especially with the entire space considered with d&eacute;cor and furniture.</p>
<h2>Open Concept Kitchen Lighting Selections</h2>
<p>The challenge with open concept layouts is selecting finishes and styles that can all get along within sight. The temptation to just copy/paste must be tamed. This is your chance to instead keep a clear style going but designate each space with new lighting details. Don&rsquo;t worry, our lighting team is here to help. Our lighting expert on this project included textured glass as well as fabric and metal shades in the mix.</p>
<p>Above the kitchen island hang a pair of aged brass pendants with textured glass. The pendants are named Landon and they are from our Capital Lighting line. Just a few steps away in the dining area a 6-light chandelier named Welsley is installed. This chandelier is also finished in an aged brass.</p>
<p><img alt="brass kitchen lighting and picture lights" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_accessible-beige-and-birch-almond-kitchen/brass-kitchen-lighting.jpg" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>The kitchen faces the great room living space that is fit with a fireplace and built-in arched niches. Above each arched niche is an Alistair picture light that lights up the arched built-ins. They also from our Capital Lighting line and in an aged brass finish. A 60 inch Washed White Oak ceiling fan hangs in the great room as well. Shop all of our lighting and ceiling fan options online anytime <span style="text-decoration-line: underline;"><a href="https://villagehomestores.xolights.com/lighting-fixtures" title="Our Website" target="_blank">here from our website.</a></span></p>

<p>Another detail we love in the great room is that the same Calacatta Idillio Quartz from the kitchen is installed for the fireplace surround.

Accessible Beige and Birch Almond Kitchen Design in Bettendorf

Tour a complete kitchen remodel from Village Home Stores with wall removal and Accessible Beige painted cabinetry.

<p>In <a href="https://www.villagehomestores.com/blog/village-between-before-and-after"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">our last post</span></a>, we promised you that we would still give you a proper look at the finished kitchen remodel. Welcome to the now-finished &ldquo;after&rdquo; part of this breathtaking Village Home Stores before-and-after story in Geneseo, Illinois. What a dream kitchen! </p>
<h2>A new Location and a Whole New Look</h2>
<p>This kitchen has had so much of a transformation that it found a whole new location. If you watched the video series in our previous post, you saw that we moved the new kitchen into the location of the old dining room in the Victorian home. We also widened the doorway into the new kitchen space and removed a long wall that used to form a hallway at the back end of the first floor.</p>
<p><img alt="kitchen with large island and combination of light painted cabinets and dark maple stained cabinets" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART_village-kitchen-before-after/OART1_kitchen-remodeler_01.png" /></p>
<p>Now we have created a more open and functional layout that includes a large living room and a much larger kitchen with casual dining seating. We divided the new kitchen from the new formal dining room space with a short wall, leaving the entire first floor feeling more open and with a flow that invites multiple uses of each space. A remodel with this amount of wall work and layout changes also allowed the opportunity to install a new consistent flooring surface throughout.</p>
<p><img alt="kitchen sink with window above and black stainless stee; dishwasher in corner" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART_village-kitchen-before-after/OART1_sink-and-dishwasher-in-corner_02.png" /></p>
<p>We divided the new kitchen from the new formal dining room space with a short wall, leaving the entire first floor feeling more open and with a flow that invites multiple uses of each space.

<h2>Tour The Finished Kitchen</h2>
<p>But why just post a few photos when we could give you a quick tour instead!? Here is the designer, Angela, to walk you around the finished remodel:</p>
<p><iframe class="dsg-block-1-youtube-video" title=“Accessible Beige Kitchen Remodel with Wall Removed” src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/johO92EdOp0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Pretty incredible transformation, right? And the flooring installed throughout truly looks so much better on video than in photos, so be sure to watch back through to see the COREtec luxury vinyl plank showcased. It looks even better in person,n and the pattern really complements many wood tones for d&eacute;cor and furniture in the surrounding areas. The color is named &ldquo;Parchment Oak&rdquo;, and we love to see such a durable and stylish surface installed in multiple rooms. This flooring is ready for puppies and parties and will look great for years to come. </p>
<h2>Accessible Beige Painted Cabinets with Maple Mocha Accents</h2>
<p>The new kitchen design features cabinetry from our <a href="https://www.wynnbrooke.com/american-collection"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wynnbrooke</span></a> Cabinetry line. Manufactured not far from us in Kansas, Wynnbrooke offers a great lineup of cabinet options in on-trend finishes for our customers at a great price. This is their Mission flat-panel door style installed in a combination of two finishes. The main cabinets for the perimeter and all the tall cabinetry is one of our bestselling painted cabinet colors named &ldquo;Accessible Beige&rdquo;. Accessible Beige is a fantastic neutral cabinet paint choice for all cabinet projects. <a href="https://www.villagehomestores.com/blog/beige-and-white-oak-kitchen"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Here is another recent project</span></a> that combined Accessible Beige with a White Oak stain. </p>
<p><img alt="tall accessible beige painted pantry cabinets to ceiling " src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART_village-kitchen-before-after/OART1_tall-pantry-cabinets_04.png" /></p>
<p>On one wall of the new kitchen design, we installed lots of tall pantry storage at full depth. There is so much space here, and one of the tall sections can now house cleaning supplies. A Black Stainless Steel KitchenAid appliance package, including a French door refrigerator and a 5-burner Gas convection range, looks incredible in this space. Black Stainless and new &ldquo;Black Ore&rdquo; (launching soon from KitchenAid) offer up a warmer matte-finished black option in kitchen appliances. </p>
<p><img alt="maple mocha stained kitchen island with seating and brass pendant lighting above and floating shelves in background" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART_village-kitchen-before-after/OART1_kitchen-island-with-seating_05.png" /></p>
<p>In the kitchen island, we included a Sharp microwave drawer unit, also in a Black Stainless Steel finish. The corner of the island closest to the kitchen sink includes a 2-bin pull-out wastebasket cabinet. </p>
<p><img alt="kitchen dry bar design with reeded glass doors, wine bottle storage, and floating shelves" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART_village-kitchen-before-after/OART1_kitchen-dry-bar-design_06.png" /></p>
<p>To complement and contrast with the painted cabinets in this kitchen, we installed the island and dry bar area in Maple wood with a Mocha stain applied. Facing the new kitchen is a custom dry bar zone fit with wine bottle storage, reeded glass doors, and floating shelves above. Flex areas like this in a kitchen design can be used in so many ways throughout the year. This can act as the everyday coffee/beverage station for the homeowner most days and be easily converted into a cocktail station when entertaining. </p>

<p>Above the kitchen island hang three <a href="https://villagehomestores.xolights.com/ariella-3-light-pendant-in-brushed-champagne-bronze-with-hammered-clear-glass/sku-HCJX#itemDetailFinish"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">textured glass pendant lights</span></a> in a Brushed Champagne Bronze finish. The 3-light pendants are named &ldquo;Ariella&rdquo; and the glass gives a hammered texture look and feel. We love the pattern the pendants cast on the ceiling when turned on. This pendant style is part of a series that comes in Matte Black and includes a smaller version of the same pendant plus sconces with the same textured glass. </p>
<h2>Calacatta Prado MSI Quartz Counters</h2>
<p>This large kitchen island design offers a generous overhang for seating and a massive number of work surfaces. Whether you're using it for meal prep, gift wrapping, or an impromptu dance floor, it's ready for any task! </p>
<p><img alt="large kitchen island design with overhang for counter height stools" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART_village-kitchen-before-after/OART1_large-kitchen-island_08.png" /></p>
<p>The countertop surfaces in this kitchen are from our MSI Q Quartz line, a design named Calacatta Prado. With just enough subtle pattern without causing too much distraction, this selection gives the look of natural stone in a durable, nonporous material. Calacatta Prado quartz is a great complement to the Accessible Beige cabinetry, and we installed the tops with a 3&rdquo; x 12&rdquo; Matte White Settecento New Yorker tile backsplash. </p>
<h2>Custom Bench Seat</h2>
<p>Because the kitchen now resides in the original dining room of the home, we had existing windows and doorways to consider. We can adjust and widen interior doorways. Windows, however, can lead to exterior projects if you begin moving or raising the location.</p>
<p><img alt="custom cabinet bench seat under low window in kitchen" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART_village-kitchen-before-after/OART1_bench-seat-under-window_09.png" /></p>
<p>When the option is there, this solution is our favorite to do in spaces like this. Build a custom bench seat to help tie in the window (and all that incredible natural light) to the new kitchen. Now the window is surrounded by cabinetry. The installed look is intentional and super stylish. Plus once a custom seat cushion can be made, this will become a great spot for the dog of the house Mabel to be on neighborhood watch as she enjoys the sun coming in. </p>
<h2>Pullout Storage at Cooking Station</h2>
<p>Pullout cabinets continue to be a highly requested element in our kitchen designs. Pull-out trash cabinets are no longer assumed, but a very common add-on in many of our remodel and new construction designs is the upgrade to a pull-out utensil organizer cabinet. You may have noticed that nearly every Village Home Stores kitchen has one. </p>
<p><iframe class="dsg-block-1-youtube-video" title=“Pull-Out Utensil Unit” src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gzCel-OMsTA" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>This category of base cabinets comes in various widths and with many layout options, including knife blocks, spice storage, and even bathroom vanity organizers for hair tools. If you have items that you want off the counter, ask your designer at Village Home Stores if there is a pullout cabinet option that may work as your solution. </p>

Kitchen Before and After Remodel by Village Home Stores 

An L-shaped kitchen design with large island at the center and three cabinet finishes. New home kitchen design by Village Home Stores for Advance Homes of the Quad Cities.

<p>Welcome to this open and airy new home in Bettendorf, Iowa with a kitchen from Village Home Stores for Advance Homes of the Quad Cities. We were so glad to work with this new home customer to select a whole home of lighting and cabinetry from Village. The kitchen design is an L-shape with a large single-level island at the center.</p>
<p><img alt="white and dark painted island kitchen design with tray ceiling above island and two pendants hanging" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_micro-shaker-kitchen-cabinets/tray-ceiling-kitchen-island.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<h2>Micro Shaker Style Kitchen Design</h2>
<p>The kitchen combines three finishes instead of a typical two. The main perimeter cabinetry is fit out with a lighter painted finish, the island is anchored in a dark, moody paint, and the range hood is custom trimmed by the carpenters at Advance in a medium wood stain.</p>
<p><img alt="l-shaped kitchen design with light painted cabinets and dark island" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_micro-shaker-kitchen-cabinets/advance-homes-quad-cities.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>We recently featured the bathroom of this home <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.villagehomestores.com/blog/evergreen-fog-bathroom-vanities" target="_blank">here on the blog</a></span> and it had a &ldquo;Micro&rdquo; shaker style cabinet named Bedford included in a painted finish. The kitchen is also fit out with Bedford cabinets for the main perimeter from our Koch Classic line and painted in a Frost color. Bedford is what is called a Micro Shaker door. Some also call it a &ldquo;skinny&rdquo; shaker door. This just means that the framing around the center panel is a narrow, thin area instead of a wide 2-3&rdquo; rail and stile. This door started as a trend five years ago and has shifted over into a staple style in the past few years. You really can use it in many styles of spaces.</p>
<p><img alt="kitchen stack of three drawers in painted frost white finish" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_micro-shaker-kitchen-cabinets/advance-homes-quad-cities.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>The micro shaker door style also translates well for drawer fronts in a full-overlay cabinet kitchen. Instead of a slab-style front, the drawers look like smaller versions of the doors with plenty of real estate to do so with a narrow frame. We really love the use of large-scale handles in a contrasting color. This hardware is the Square Stanton series in a Matte Black finish. Want to see a quick video of this kitchen? Press play below:</p>
<iframe class="dsg-block-1-youtube-video" title="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6vQPxISarHc" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<p>Isn&rsquo;t that range hood dreamy?! We love the balance of the three cabinet finishes with the flooring color.</p>
<h2>Cabinet Storage on Kitchen Island Ends</h2>
<p>We love it when we can showcase design choices that may be unexpected or not common. The layout of this kitchen island is designed so that there is storage included on each end cap of the island. On the side that faces the refrigerator wall we included a stack of four drawers. This isn&rsquo;t a common choice, but imagine how convenient a stack of drawers can be in that location. You wouldn&rsquo;t even have to enter the kitchen completely for items that may be used for entertaining or even remotes and chargers being used in the living room nearby.</p>
<p><img alt="dark pewter painted kitchen island full height cabinets open to show storage at the ends of kitchen island design" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_micro-shaker-kitchen-cabinets/storage-kitchen-island-ends.jpg" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>If you work from home or use the kitchen island as a homework station, this drawer stack can keep your supplies organized and out of sight. Opposite that drawer stack end of the island a full-heigh door cabinet that opens to face the dining room area. Including accessible storage on all sides of the design makes this island even more practical in the open concept setting that places the kitchen at the center of the dining room and living room spaces.</p>
<h2>Minimalist Kitchen Island Pendant Lights</h2>
<p><img alt="pendant lights above kitchen island with matte black poles and white glass shades" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_micro-shaker-kitchen-cabinets/pendant-lights.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>One selection that helps to keep the kitchen clean and minimal are the pendants that hang above the island. Nothing too loud or over the top, the Willa Medium pendants are from our Hinkley line and we used the Black Oxide finish in this home. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://villagehomestores.xolights.com/lighting-fixtures" target="_blank">Shop all of our lighting options online here.</a></span>&nbsp;You can even browse by style and finish.</p>
<p><img alt="painted frost white kitchen with custom design wood range hood from Advance Homes" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_micro-shaker-kitchen-cabinets/custom-hood.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>The minimal design just adds a nice glow to the island and helps draw the eye from the tray ceiling above to the island below.</p>
<h2>Kitchen Cabinet Storage Options</h2>
<p><img alt="painted frost white base cabinet by range open showing utensil pullout storage cabinet with stainless utensil caddies" height="750" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_micro-shaker-kitchen-cabinets/utensil-pullout.png" width="1000" /></p>
<p>One of our bestselling storage solutions is right at the heart of this kitchen design. A pullout utensil cabinet can upgrade any cooking zone into a home chef&rsquo;s dream workstation. Imagine having your favorite go-to utensils, oils, and spices right within reach&hellip; but off the countertop. Another champion of any kitchen is a corner lazy susan. We wanted to post a pic of this one to point out that function is key in a working kitchen layout.</p>
<p><img alt="base corner cabinet with basic plastic lazy susan interior" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/brandsource_member_blogs/OART1/OART1_micro-shaker-kitchen-cabinets/plastic-lazy-susan.png" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></p>
<p>Not every kitchen design or budget allows for an all wood lazy susan cabinet. Truth is, if you are an empty-nester or don&rsquo;t have multiple users working in a kitchen you can probably get away with an &ldquo;old school&rdquo; plastic susan with the pole at the center. You may not need a full wood shelf of storage but still want access to spin around and use the corner for storage. Don&rsquo;t be afraid to speak up about downgrading one specialty cabinet to make sure you have the budget allowance for another you may use every day.</p>
