Details Please!

Details are what can make the difference between a "designed space" and a space. In addition to terrific space usage planning, Chip is a master of details. And believe me, having lived through several projects of our own, he's not going to rest until they're done the way he wants!

This clock treatment has become a signature detail of a Chip Vogel kitchen. It's waiting for the crown molding to wrap it to the ceiling, but trust me it will be a beauty when the cabinet man finishes.

You've seen the pictures of these transoms before, but again, it's the kind of detail that will really elevate the "elegance meter" for this beautiful home. The fixed panes will let so much more light through to the entry hall, and give the entire floor a more open feel.

This archway was opened up for a more accessible path to the kitchen. It creates a small but very useful Butler's Pantry, complete with this state-of-the-art wine refrigerator.

I'm hoping to wrangle an invitation or two for dinner here...I think this will work just fine.
