East Bay Kitchen Reimagined:
A Culinary Haven

This stunning kitchen remodel by DiStefano Brothers Construction in Rhode Island’s East Bay blends natural wood’s timeless warmth with modern appliances’ sleek functionality, creating a true culinary haven. This project involved a significant transformation, opening up the previously enclosed kitchen to the dining room by removing an 8-1/2 ft wall, fostering a more open and connected living space.

The design thoughtfully combines stained quarter-sawn white oak cabinets along the perimeter, exuding a rich and classic aesthetic, accenting painted maple cabinets on the two islands adding a touch of contemporary flair and visual interest. The heart of this kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, including a powerful induction cooktop, aconvenient double wall oven, and a spacious 4 ft refrigerator, catering to everyday cooking and more elaborate culinary endeavors.

Adding to the kitchen’s charm and functionality are elegant polished nickel finishes that complement the sophisticated soapstone countertops. A beautiful and practical House of Rohl fireclay apron front sink serves as a focal point while offering ample space for kitchen tasks.

Understanding the client’s passion for baking, the design incorporates a dedicated auxiliary island. This thoughtful addition is a perfect prep space. It includes specialized storage solutions, such as dedicated cabinetry for baking supplies and even a custom-designed cabinet to neatly house a Kitchen Aid mixer.
