Waterfront Kitchen...
Embracing a Nautical Theme in Vermilion

by Melissa Lefelar

Water. It’s one of the basic elements of life. However, some people have such a love of water … for boating, swimming, fishing …. that they choose to bring that passion inside their homes. That’s the case for a Vermilion couple who embarked on a remodel and redesign of their riverside home to reflect that connection to the water. From an element of life to an element of lifestyle!

The home improvement project started like many others. “My wife saw a kitchen in a magazine (that she liked). So basically, we sat down with an architect and a builder and said this is what we’d like to try to recreate,” said the homeowner, a local businessman.

The homeowners enlisted architect John Malloy and builder Mike Cyran to make the vision a reality. The home was enlarged by 300 square feet and reconfigured. That brought the total imprint to 3,800 square feet. The focus was on the kitchen, which takes up 90% of the new space.The overall nautical theme reflects the location of the home in Vermilion’s “Lagoons” community bordered by Lake Erie and the Vermilion River. Also evident is the couple’s love of the ocean, which they visit frequently on trips to their second home in Naples, Florida. It’s not the cutesy marine-look of old, but a more sophisticated style.

The entryway to the kitchen sets the tone, with an 80-gallon saltwater fish tank. “It’s a great location for a saltwater tank and sets the tone for the room. I love scuba diving and also have a 300-gallon tank in my office” said the homeowner.

The kitchen has everything that the most discerning chef could want, from a Wolf 4-burner cook top with griddle to Wolf double built-in ovens and a Sub-Zero refrigerator.

The cabinets are custom painted birch wood from Mullet Cabinets in Millersburg, Ohio. All of the stainless appliances are hidden behind cabinetry, a look that is becoming more popular with sophisticated clients. “Some people like that integrated look. In high-end homes and remodels, we are seeing either the stainless steel or wood paneled fronts. You don’t see almond anymore,” said Steve Monroe, Interior Designer at Mullet Cabinets.

Those cabinets are not only beautiful, but very versatile. Right next to the cook top is a pullout spice cabinet, with everything organized just the way the cook likes it. An enclosed space for pot scrubbers and dishwashing soap hides under the sink and conveniently tilts out. Wood cutting boards can easily be pulled out for use in several locations. A Miele dishwasher is concealed behind custom cabinet facing under the counter.

Mullet Cabinet also installed the striking black and sapphire-colored granite, called Blue Pearl. It’s just one of the many features that recalls the nearby water. The island is two levels, with shelves for cookbooks and artwork underneath. The couple often sits on barstools at the island for casual meals enjoying an unobstructed view of activity on the river. A Sub-Zero wine cooler that holds 50 bottles is neatly tucked underneath the large island.
