With three daughters in the house, it made sense that the clients wanted an indestructible — but beautiful — kitchen. Custom Shaker-style cabinetry, dark oak floors and Caesarstone countertops fit the bill.

A swing door leads in and out of the kitchen. Davin installed floor-to-ceiling cabinetry to the left of the door for the family's pantry.

Surrounded by white cabinetry and countertops, the brilliant backsplash is the kitchen's immediate focal point. The clients wanted a glass backsplash and something fun. Davin worked with them to find a textile they both loved, and used that as inspiration.

Working with Ann Sacks, Davin custom designed the size, pattern and color palette of the glass tiles.

Range: Bertazzoni

The clients also had a banquette on their kitchen wish list. The cozy seating area allows their girls to have friends over and snack in the kitchen.

The banquette was built around the table, which the clients had custom made and loved. Davin had the exterior wall bumped out a bit so the banquette could fit into the kitchen's open layout.

Storage built into the banquette seating holds table linens and place settings.

Rough Linen This kitchen feels so large, and yet I can see the square footage is quite normal. The banquette is inspired!

avena001 Like the concept.
I would like to see the herringbone continued on to the wall behind banquette (where clock is positioned). Hard to confirm without 360 photos but based on the ones shown it would likely give even greater cohesion between the spaces but without "over egging the pie"!

Marina Klima Goldberg - Klima Design Group I am glad someone is actually doing it. This is how classics are born. There is nothing "trendy" about chevron if many people would accept it, it would become new norm, new classic. Or, at least I hope. How uplifting and energizing!

stargazer51 When I first saw the backsplash picture, I thought EEEK! After looking at the remaining pictures, I love this kitchen and banquette. It looks as though every inch was well thought out.

riconsd Love it, but I think the back splash cost more than my first kitchen remodel. Was it installed piece by piece or by the sheet?

A Space for Everything I love the banquette area, especially for children and teens! The contrast of the floors and white cabinets looks great. A Space for Everything makes the cabinets inside look as wonderful. Great job!

brasilpaint Love the appliances and layout but the backsplash ......not so much. I love to go a little quirky at times..even in the kitchen, but I reserve that for the not so permanent fixtures. Replacing a backsplash is a big deal for me so I would keep that a bit more easy to live with.

Kate Weatherley I have a space 1800mm deep and I'm trying to plan a banquette. Does anyone have sny resources with measurements for bamquettes?

somecookie The table looks too big for the space (to me) and it being such a contrasting color might be part of the reason it looks like that to me. It has to be big and people have to scoot into the seats because there is no room for adjusting seats to get in and out or to draw closer to table, so it has to always be this close, which is why I never liked the one in my grandmother's kitchen. Not so bad when I was a kid, because we would just slide under the table and crawl out, but as an adult it was a pain to have to scoot out to let someone else out or to have someone else scoot out when I wanted out. Just like at a restaurant sitting in a booth and someone needs out and they're not sitting on the outside. I would have left one side open and had chairs for more versatility. Only my opinion!

I like the backsplash but it looks overwhelming. I would have more of that blue on the walls to balance it out. Not everywhere, but some.

portpiro Is it just my monitor or are the tiles not quite straight? Great concept but if it wiggles as it seems to do it would drive me nuts!

davisislands Love it! I also am wondering if it is installed piece by piece or in sheets or another way...?

Alicia I love that chevron backsplash so clean and fresh and dramatic .. It would also look amazing redesigned as a glass mosaic .. and of course the colors could be changed ..
