Del Prado
A modern meets rustic kitchen remodel made complete with custom African mahogany millwork and a stunning Italian statement range.
San Clemente, California
This kitchen is a modern interpretation of rustic elegance—where the natural warmth of wood and metal interplay with sleek craftsmanship.
At its heart, the Italian range anchors the space with timeless beauty, serving as both a focal point and a chef’s dream. A backsplash of handcrafted tile ties the palette together, introducing subtle depth and artistry.
With the sink located at the island, our challenge was to safeguard the surrounding wood from water damage. We sourced African Mahogany for its density and natural durability— to resist fungi. Additional coats of varnish to seal the surface gave an added measure of water resistance and protection
Being an art lover, the client requested more areas to display her collectibles. We replaced the upper cabinetry with open shelving, included glass cabinetry to showcase custom made ceramic vessels, and repurposed the bar seating area with additional shelving allowing both function and form to offer many options for use.
Testimonial
“Because I love to cook, the kitchen was a place I wanted to feel both functional and beautiful.
A statement range, a butcher block island, and color were all at the top of my wish list. The cabinetry, painted in such a rich hue, makes me smile every day. The open shelving allows me to display the pieces I love most — something I wasn’t sure I’d embrace, but now can’t imagine living without. The copper and brass accents are exquisite, a perfect complement to the warmth of the space.
This kitchen has become my haven. Beyond cooking, it’s where I spend the most time, whether entertaining or hosting house guests. It has completely transformed how I live in my home.”
