Feature Friday--McLean Kitchen

This was a kitchen designed for a Custom Home by JK Development, located in McLean, Virginia. The Cabinetry selected was from Mouser Custom Cabinetry. They chose a Beaded Inset Winchester Door with a custom drawer front. The Cabinets were finished with a white painted finish on the perimeter with a black glaze, while the island had a Black Painted finish.

The side by side 700 series Sub-Zero refrigerators are cleaverly hidden by matching cabinetry. The double stacked cabinetry highlights the kitchen's high ceilings. The island cabinetry surrounds a beautiful 44" AGA Legacy. The custom Copper Hood finish is echoed by the Copper Apron Front Sink.

Product Thursdays--Copperhaus Sinks

This is just a few of the Copperhaus sinks available from Whitehaus Collection.Decorative Front Farm Sink in Smooth Copper

Copper sinks can be something most homeowner's shy away from, thinking that the upkeep of a copper sink is more than they would want to take care of. Maintaining a beautiful copper sink is easier than one expects. the Copperhaus sinks from Whitehaus are specially made with a patina finish to give them a weathered look. With this finish, there is no need to scrub or polish them for cleaning. If you rinse your sink water after every use, and clean with a mind soap and a soft cloth periodically, you will easily maintain a beautiful sink.
