Tin Ceilings
Designer: Chris Berry
Tin ceilings are being increasingly used to add more visual to kitchens. Chris Berry designed this space to offer symmetrical focal points when viewed from any of the kitchen's three doorways. From the breakfast room's arched doorway, the viewer's eye is drawn to the tin ceiling placed in the center of the room over an island that offers an unexpected round chopping block end table. Symmetrical glass clerestory cabinets are placed above the sink. The serving alley view from the dining room centers on an accented tall Sub-Zero wine cooler behind the circular table with a crown pot rack above. The focal point from the back hall is a much-needed built-in china cabinet beside the beverage bar. The moldings and detailing that Berry designed were inspired by the original built-in woodwork in the home's dining and drawing rooms.
