Top Knobs adds life to a rowhouse kitchen

May 6, 2016

In Mount Pleasant, Washington D.C., rowhouse homeowners Lydia Pelliccia and Craig Schumpert transformed their narrow, dark galley kitchen into a spacious, family-friendly kitchen. The kitchen renovation includes Top Knobs decorative hardware and was featured in The Washington Post.

“We cook a lot for ourselves and entertain fairly regularly, and we wanted stuff within reach,” says Schumpert. “We wanted to be able to minimize clutter and didn’t want to bump into each other all the time when cooking.” He and Pelliccia wanted to be able to prepare dinner while having their daughter, Lola, 9, sitting nearby doing homework.

Interior designer Carmel Greer of District Design removed the interior walls on the main floor and expanding the kitchen to the full width of the house, placing the living area in front and the dining area in back. The kitchen is now the centerpiece of this house, and light floods in from both directions.

Top Knobs Sets the Standard in an Award Winning Tampa Kitchen

March 16, 2016

In Tampa, Florida a French inspired kitchen using Top Knobs cabinet hardware has won the prestigious Southeast Builders Conference 2015 Aurora Award for Interior Merchandising/Design in the Kitchen category for projects in the $1,000,001-$2,000,000 range. Here’s a look at the project which was recently featured in House Trends Tampa Magazine.

Amoroso Cabinets, in calibration with Windstar Homes, were the masterminds behind the kitchen project. Since the kitchen is the heart of the home, the homebuilder put most of the budget into the kitchen where family and friends could gather in an open air space.

All of the custom made cabinets were perfectly accented by pulls from the Top Knobs Somerset Finial collection in the Pewter Antique finish.

Top Knobs Featured in High Point Home Rejuvenation

November 2, 2015

High Point, North Carolina is known to most of the world as a furniture mecca, where Randall Bryant Terry Sr. founded the Dalton Furniture Company and helped to establish the International Home Furnishings Center. This year, the 1912 Tudor estate where the Terry family once lived was used as the 2015 Junior League of High Point Designer’s showhouse. 28 interior designers revamped the historical home. The results were covered in Traditional Home Magazine and Top Knobs once again made a beautiful appearance.

The large estate features an upstairs art retreat, which doubles as a dinette. The multi-purpose room was designed by Holly Hollingsworth Phillips who refers to the space as a “refuge for the global nomad.” The dinette area includes quartz countertops, hardware flooring, and a teak “hand” chair and coffee table, which the designer discovered in India.

Because the vaulted ceilings cause a lack of space, the room highly relies on cabinetry for storage. To pull the attention towards the darker cabinetry design, the designer used Top Knobs Cobblestone Pulls in Polished Brass, which brings a beautiful color into the room.

The Cobblestone Pulls are a part of the Top Knobs Cobblestone Collection, which includes both Knobs and Pulls in Brass Antique, Polished Brass, Coal Black and Polished Nickel.
