After knocking down a wall in this Leesburg, Virginia home outside of DC, the homeowners were left with a large open space. Designing within such a large open concept presents its challenges, but Senior Designer Ellen Schott employed her expertise with the support of the larger design team to deliver a refined and functional space within Bakes & Kropp’s signature transitional style. In line with the homeowner’s vision for an airy and bright kitchen, we’ve designed and crafted Classic Meridian cabinetry in white and pearl walnut finishes.

Built-in lighting within cabinetry and accented open shelving shine on the finished wood grain and brighten respective prep spaces. The carefully considered warmth of the built-in LED lights seamlessly enhance natural light beaming through the many sliding doors and French windows. A walnut waterfall island solidifies the primary cooking and entertaining space. Satin and polished nickel accents dress the cabinetry faces and custom- sloped range hood, tying elements together within the large open space. Custom sliding barn doors seamlessly blend into the adjacent white cabinetry to conceal a pantry, with a near cabinet offering additional storage to display china behind black metal doors mirroring the space’s windows and door frames.
