Beauty Bay Shaker Kitchen
Honey-stained shaker cabinetry brings calm, craftsman warmth to this lakefront log home. A long island topped in honed dark granite anchors the open room, with a drawer-bank base and seating for four along its face. The range wall carries stainless appliances under the log-beam ceiling, while the sink wall keeps a white farmhouse sink centered beneath the window. Tall shaker columns flank the refrigerator to close the perimeter, floating wood shelves hold the beverage service, and a pass-through window with its own prep sink carries drinks and snacks straight out to the porch.
Project Highlights
- Seating Island
A full counter of honed dark granite tops a drawer-bank island that seats four, keeping family and guests at the center of the room.
- Lakeside Pass-Through
A wide window pass-through with its own prep sink opens the kitchen to the porch, so lake days never run through the house.
- Tall Fridge & Pantry Column
Full-height shaker cabinets flank the refrigerator and close the run, hiding the appliances behind matching doors.
- Beverage & Boot Nook
Floating wood shelves and a cedar bench turn the wall beside the kitchen into a bar, mudroom, and gathering spot.
Shaker perimeter cabinets, floating drink shelves, and bench seating share one warm, open room.
The island work area faces the sliding doors, so prep and cleanup happen beside the lake.
Full-height broom closet flanks the refrigerator maximizing your storage space!
