Bethesda homeowners worked with Tracy McCann of Serendipity Design Group on the design of their new home’s kitchen that would make it “modern, bright and open, with traditional details to impart warmth,” explains McCann. “They also wanted it to be extremely functional.”

McCann and her team specified custom cabinets stacked from counter to ceiling to optimize storage. Cupboards on the seating side of the large island make infrequently used items easily accessible. A pantry houses small appliances while a butler’s pantry/bar is just a few steps away. Drawers and cupboards boast storage for cutlery, utensils and knives, as well as trays, spices and oils. There are also double pull-out trash and microwave drawers.

Perimeter cabinetry painted white contrasts with the island’s blue-gray hue; both are topped with white counters. McCann’s plan achieved a warm, transitional feel with a combination of modern and traditional elements including ceiling beams, a glazed-tile backsplash, glass pendants, open shelving and a sculptural, wood-trimmed hood.
