Neabeack Hill Transitional Kitchen
Neabeack Hill Transitional Kitchen
These homeowners came to us looking to remodel their Kitchen for better organization and to fit their personal style. The grey and white tones of this kitchen compliment the refinished coffee-tone oak floors. The former layout with a small island disrupted the workspace of the kitchen. Our Designer, Sarah, proposed preliminary floor plans and the homeowners were drawn to this final design, as it provided a peninsula that preserved the same amount of counterspace and opened up the kitchen layout. A new built-in desk has more storage which now includes a beverage center with hidden coffee storage and a wine fridge. Although this kitchen did not increase in size, the many built-in cabinet organizers make this space feel like it has double the storage. The homeowners loved the latticed "X" pattern that Sarah incorporated as an inlay on the back of the peninsula and the end of the cabinet, and within the beverage center. This new Kitchen perfectly fits the style of the home.

A 20-Year Update
The original red oak cabinets and flooring had strong orange tones that did not fit in with the greys and whites that are present throughout the rest of the home. We moved the door of the pantry around the corner to create room for the new beverage center. The custom transitional details applied to the cabinetry balance with the grain of the oak flooring. We improved the overhead lighting which reflects off of the Cambria Swanbridge quartz countertops and brightens the room. Tall pantry pull-outs next to the fridge, an appliance garage, and utensil organizers on both sides of the range keep the counters clear for use.
X Cabinet Details
Sarah and our Master Cabinet Maker, Ron, met to discuss the trim profile that would be applied to the cabinets. The "X" pattern on the base cabinet and glass doors are replicated in the wine shelves. This unique detail makes this kitchen stand out.
Peninsula Legs
The elegant peninsula legs complete the transitional design of this kitchen. These decorative legs are an alternative to corbels or hidden brackets for countertop overhang support. The peninsula also hides a built-in drawer microwave.
Furniture-Style Base Moulding
To give the peninsula this furniture look, the perimeter was skirted with a complimentary base board that fits with the rest of the home. On the working side of the island we have a standard toe kick complete with central vacuum port to make cleaning up easier. Our experienced cabinet shop team is able to produce a built in look that cannot be achieved with stock cabinets.
What our Clients are Saying
“They cared about our vision on our new home and went the extra mile to meet our expectations. They built our house in 2017 and have been standing behind their work, even years later.”

“Carl’s house avoids 19 tons of CO2 every year compared to a code house. If all houses throughout the entire United States did that, it is possible to slow down carbon emissions to the point that we can slow down global warming and eventually, hopefully, reverse it.”

“They worked with our original idea & tweaked/adjusted it until we found the perfect design. Using that design, the skilled craftsmen at the GCCI cabinet shop created a stunning black walnut entertainment center. To top off our experience with GCCI, an amazing installation crew spent four days in our home as they expertly finished our unit. All 3 men who made up the installation crew treated our home as if it were their own. Their clean up at the end of every day assured we would not be tripping over blocks of wood or spreading saw dust all over the house. A big thank you to the design team of Elizabeth & Ron, & to the construction & installation team of Dennis, Bobby & Theo. ”
