Custom Built French Country Kitchens

In kitchens framed with exposed beams, draped with bead board walls, you'd find ice boxes, kelvinators, wood stoves and gas ranges, biscuit boards and kitchen aids, and in time, all electric GE and Westinghouse appliances. Grey or white washed walls turned blossom colorful, windows framed our southern light, and always, always, folks gathered in the kitchen to help prepare the food we know as distinctly southern. The food of our forefathers, the staple of our culture.

Southern Style Country...

Southern country kitchens reflect the wedding between the traditional and modernity; the melding of function and design into a unique style that combines the agrarian heritage of our culture with our embrace of all things new. Space and sunlight merge, our palette is soft and fresh like the jonquil's late winter blooms; clay and slate are our earth tones, bright whites like lofty morning clouds and ivory shades like boiling afternoon thunder peaks dominate; and no matter how compact the space, we stretch it toward the light, toward the sun, toward the yard or field.

...French Country Kitchens

Southern Country Kitchens have one more distinct trait, a certain Gallic "Joie de vivre" that pulls into our kitchens elements of our everyday life as well as remembrances of things past. We fill shelves with books and vases and framed pictures of long forgotten relatives and post cards, and our children's faces; we hang favorite images and beaten copper mixing bowls, and delft platters and church calendars on our walls. We feel the light streaming through windows and see our backyard gardens as Monet saw Giverny, and we beamingly invite all comers to watch us cook the evening's meal.

And We Cook...

That's really why we care at all about our kitchens. We cook, we feed, we clean. Each element has its place and its needs. A French Country Kitchen Southern Style embodies modern technologies that allow us to more efficiently accomplish all three tasks, while we enjoy doing them. It's really that simple. We work together to create a sanctuary where success is not merely measured by gastronomical achievement but by comfort and fulfillment and simply the feeling of being surrounded by all that pleases you and the knowledge that this is the center of your universe, this is "home."
