Capitol Hill Kitchen & Bath Project: A Design That Combines Functionality and Personal Touches
Capitol Hill Kitchen & Bath Project: A Design That Combines Functionality and Personal Touches
Welcome to another exciting kitchen and bath project! Kat Reynolds, CKBD recently collaborated with the homeowners of a Capitol Hill row house to create a stunning kitchen that not only meets their unique requirements but also reflects their personal taste. In this blog post, we’ll take you through the various aspects of this challenging yet fulfilling project, showcasing our expertise in custom kitchen design and renovation.
Features:
- Custom Cabinetry
- Make: Dura Supreme
- Line: Bria
- Door Style: Hudson
- Species & Finish:
- Base Cabinet: Paintable Gale Force
- Wall Cabinet: Paintable White
- Construction: Plywood case with natural maple veneer interior, Full – Overlay, dovetail drawers
- Soft close doors and drawers
- Countertop: Silestone Charcoal Soapstone
- Hardware: Top Knobs
- Appliances & Furniture: (provided by client)
Kitchen Layout and Design:
We wanted the kitchen to be the focal point as one enters the home. To achieve this, we designed the space so that the ducting is concealed within the cabinetry components, creating a sleek and visually appealing look. The homeowners were considering black stone or concrete countertops, but due to concerns about staining, chipping, and scratching, we suggested Silestone charcoal soapstone. This material offers a matte surface that doesn’t show dust and fingerprints like shiny black granite, making it a practical and stylish choice for their kitchen renovation.
Mudroom Solutions:
One of the primary challenges we faced was designing a mudroom with a limited depth of only 16-7/8 inches. Since this did not allow for coat hangers, we came up with an alternative solution: adding more hanging hooks and a base cabinet. This not only provided space for their wine glasses but also served as a convenient drop zone, particularly when they have barbecues, making the most of the available space in their Capitol Hill home.
Bathrooms:
When it comes to small bathroom vanities, finding something that doesn’t look “off-the-shelf” can be a challenge. We offered the Capitol Hill homeowners an outside-the-box solution that will make their bathroom vanity stand out, showcasing our expertise in crafting unique and stylish bathroom designs.
Personal Touches:
To help the Capitol Hill homeowners emotionally connect to their new kitchen, we incorporated some of their personal items into the design. We also added adjustable shelves in the tall cabinets, so they can customize their storage and broom cabinet preferences, providing a personalized and functional space for them to enjoy.
Conclusion:
The Capitol Hill kitchen project has been one of our most challenging and rewarding puzzles to date. We hope they’ll be as thrilled with the design as we are. We look forward to receiving their feedback and making any necessary adjustments to create the kitchen of their dreams.

The Evolution of Shaker Doors: A Modern Twist for Trade Clients in the Washington, DC Metro Area
In the vibrant world of kitchen and bath design, a trend particularly appealing to trade clients – including interior designers, architects, builders, and remodelers – in the Washington, DC, Arlington, VA, and Alexandria, VA areas, is the modernization of the classic shaker-style cabinet door. This trend offers a fresh perspective on the shaker door, a staple in design for its simplicity and elegance, now reimagined with a contemporary edge to meet the discerning tastes of professionals in the design and building industries.
Karen Wistrom, ASID, NCIDQ, CMG, VP of Marketing at Dura Supreme Cabinetry, highlights the significance of this trend: “Modern, skinny shaker door styles offer a sleek variation to a classic favorite, bringing a fresh and streamlined aesthetic to any space” (source: Dura Supreme Cabinetry). These doors, characterized by their finer stiles and rails or a more subtle panel, infuse a modern flair into the iconic shaker style, making them a perfect choice for high-end projects in the DMV region.
The collection from Dura Supreme includes a range of door styles such as Reese, Reese-Inset, Parker, Parker-Inset, Sutton, Randall, and Kips. Each style is designed to cater to the contemporary design preferences of trade professionals in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Whether it’s the modern sophistication of the Reese style or the European-inspired elegance of the Parker style, these doors are ideal for creating distinctive and upscale spaces.
In her ‘Cabinetry Trend Study: Less Is More,’ Sandy Kloncz of Dura Supreme Cabinetry discusses a minimalist trend that’s gaining traction nationally and particularly resonates with the architectural and interior design sensibilities in the DC metro area (source: Dura Supreme Cabinetry). This trend, emphasizing simpler, cleaner designs, aligns perfectly with the current design ethos in Washington, DC, appealing to trade professionals who seek to incorporate sleek and elegant elements in their projects.
One notable example of this trend is a mood board featuring the skinny Shaker styled door, Reese, in Cast Iron color, combined with Quarter-sawn White Oak in Alabaster stain. This design encapsulates the refined simplicity that is increasingly sought after by interior designers, architects, and builders in the DMV region.
At Bath + Kitchen, we recognize the unique needs of our trade clients in Washington, DC, Arlington, and Alexandria. We are dedicated to offering the latest trends in kitchen and bath design, including these chic shaker styles, to help you create standout projects for your clients.
