Fraval Smart Edgebander What is the most unusual aspect or outstanding characteristic of this entry? Blanc Chateau This is an absolute dream kitchen for anyone. It includes countless functional and artistic features. Every little detail is done with precision that involved a lot of professionalism in design and craftsmanship. To achieve this divine look, the kitchen was painted in white semi-gloss color. Functionality wise, this kitchen includes: dovetailed drawers; spice pull outs on each side of the stove; tons of drawers for ultimate storage and organization; lazy Susans on each corner; and a large sitting area at the island. Now from artistic perspective the kitchen includes; paneled fridge, dishwasher and side gables; it has a unique decorative hood which is supported with custom made posts; the frames are decorated with clear glass and engraved with metal by an artisan; it includes columns and decorative corbels; a very unique custom column is found between the two windows that’s also decorated with glass to match the continuous design. To finish the look of this column a corbel was added at the bottom for support and slenderness. Now, to bring us back to earth, the island was made out of beautifully stained walnut which gave the emphasis to the divine white kitchen.
