When we started planning this kitchen renovation, I knew it needed to feel just like my client’s family: warm and welcoming. They really wanted a space that was practical for her family of four, but also looked stunning every single day…take a peek! 

For this project, our goal was to marry traditional elements with a modern, timeless aesthetic. It balanced classic details with those fun and fresh touches. Natural wood tones, soft neutrals and carefully chosen accents created that perfect backdrop. But we knew that the appliances would be the finishing touch that pulled it all together.

That’s where CAFÉ came in!

Why I Chose CAFÉ for This Kitchen

Like I’ve said, I’ve always been drawn to CAFÉ because their appliances are the perfect combination of performance and style. They look like custom pieces, but they’re designed to make everyday life so much easier.

The brushed black hardware paired with their elegant finishes brought a layer of sophistication to this kitchen that feels high-end without being too fussy. The smart features and thoughtful details make life smoother for a family that’s ALWAYS on the go.

The Appliances That Made This Kitchen Complete

Smart Counter-Depth 4-Door French-Door Refrigerator with AutoFill Pitcher

When I first saw this refrigerator, I thought: this is exactly what a family kitchen needs. It’s sleek, it’s organized, and the AutoFill pitcher feature is brilliant. With kids, having filtered water ready at all times is such a win. With 23.2 cu. ft. of space, everything has its place. It looks like it was built just for this kitchen!

CustomFit ENERGY STAR Stainless Interior Smart Dishwasher

This dishwasher is one of those things you don’t fully appreciate until you live with it. It’s quiet, it’s powerful, and it kind of disappears into the cabinetry. The interiors are customizable, which means their family doesn’t have to play Tetris every time they load the dishes…

36″ Smart All-Gas Commercial-Style Range with 6 Burners

This, in my opinion, is the star of the show. When I saw it installed, I literally said, WOW. Not only does it look incredible, but it cooks like a dream. Whether it’s family pasta night or a big holiday, this range literally handles it all.

36” Smart Designer Custom Insert with Dimmable LED Lighting

This hood is the secret hero. It does the work you need it to, but the design is understated and beautiful. And the dimmable LED lighting? It’s perfect for setting the mood in the evenings. 

Small but Mighty: CAFÉ Couture™ Oven with Air Fry

Express Finish Toaster & Bellissimo Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine

These are the pieces that make everyday moments special. My client told me she feels like she has her own coffee shop now, and honestly, I’m so jealous! The toaster is fast and chic, and the air fry oven makes weeknight dinners healthier and quicker. 

Built-In Microwave Drawer Oven

I love this feature because it keeps the counters clear and makes life easier for the kids. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in the flow of the kitchen.

Why This Kitchen Works

For me, it’s all about harmony. Every choice working together to create something timeless and functional. The overall design gave us that classic feel, and the CAFÉ appliances brought in that modern edge without losing the inviting vibe they wanted. 

“This isn’t just a kitchen,” I said when we finished the install. “It’s the heart of their home. The place where their family will make memories for years to come.” And thanks to CAFÉ, it’s as practical as it is beautiful!!!
