In order to create more space for entertaining, these homeowners moved their kitchen from the main to the lower floor of their split-level home. With construction of an improved social space already underway, Monarch was called in to tweak the kitchen design. Drawing inspiration from the rustic antique centrepiece lighting fixture, we worked with the homeowner to design the custom range hood, and to select and finalize the cabinetry, backsplash, and countertop -- a unique Nordic black granite in Antique. Matching cabinetry is carried upstairs to the hutch in the dining room for additional storage and display.
