The “drop zone” in the Kuppersmith kitchen helps keep everything organized.

We’re making great headway at the Kuppersmith home.  When we started out, this 1920s house was very much a product of its era and in desperate need of some smart, 21^st Century design improvements. Our goal was to use cabinetry to create designated storage spaces to bring more functionality and make living in the home easier for the family.  I’m pleased to report that the cabinets are in and we already see huge improvement in the overall design and functionality of the home.  Let me take you on a guided tour of sorts and explain the various cabinetry solutions Merillat has provided for specific areas of the house.

One of the first storage problems we noticed was the lack of a guest closet in the front entry.  We used Merillat Classic® Portrait with a five piece drawer door style in a Maple Chiffon finish to substitute for the missing closet and to create a functional space to hang coats and store shoes.  Since this space is next to the living room, the open wall shelves can also display decorative items and add to the aesthetics of the room.

From the living room, let’s move into the dining room. This room was also lacking sufficient storage space for dishes.  Instead of buying furniture we created two hutches for two corners of the room.  The Merillat Classic Somerton Hill door style in a Cherry Cider finish gives these hutches a furniture appeal detailed with crown molding.  The homeowners now have a space to store their dinnerware and can even put their china dishes in the glass display cabinets for all to see.
