This weekend I’ll be firming up plans for my own kitchen renovation, and I’m considering varying the countertop material as you see in this kitchen. Wood in the butler pantry and stone or quartz elsewhere.
Butler Pantry as Secret Room
However, I don’t think we’ll be able to work this secret entrance into our design plan…what a concept!

Detail of a Pantry Interior
It has been years since I have had a kitchen pantry that is an actual separate space, and what a luxury to be able to hide a lot of oversized appliances and clutter, yes?

the hardware is just breathtaking!
Symmetry in a Breakfast Nook With Blue
And why settle for just one blue hutch when you can have two?
![Classic blue kitchen ideas with traditional architecture, custom millwork, and sophisticated design - Edward Deegan Architects. #bluekitchens #traditionalkithens #classicbluekitchen](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/edward-deegan-architects-timeless-kitchen-winchester-renovation-blue-cabinets-photographer-karen-loffing-4.jpg)
I just love those little niches for spices near the range.
Custom Vent Hood Over Range
The millwork in this kitchen is exceptional and so stately!
![Classic blue kitchen design with traditional architecture, custom millwork, and sophisticated design - Edward Deegan Architects. #bluekitchens #traditionalkithens #classicbluekitchen](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/edward-deegan-architects-timeless-kitchen-winchester-renovation-blue-cabinets-photographer-karen-loffing-3.jpg)
So many details to consider, and I see the edge of the stone on the island is built up and grand in contrast to that on the peripheral counters.
![Classic blue kitchen design with traditional architecture, custom millwork, and sophisticated design - Edward Deegan Architects. #bluekitchens #traditionalkithens #classicbluekitchen](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/edward-deegan-architects-timeless-kitchen-winchester-renovation-blue-cabinets-photographer-karen-loffing-2.jpg)
Edward Deegan Kitchen Renovation: Classic & Blue
In this kitchen, royal blue demands our attention.
![Classic blue painted island in a traditional style white kitchen by Edward Deegan Architects.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/edward-deegan-architects-timeless-kitchen-renovation-blue-cabinets-photographer-karen-loffing-2.jpg)
I’m also admiring the mercury glass pendants and tranquil grey on tile and ceiling.
![Classic blue kitchen design with traditional architecture, custom millwork, and sophisticated design - Edward Deegan Architects. #bluekitchens #traditionalkithens #classicbluekitchen](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/edward-deegan-architects-timeless-kitchen-renovation-blue-cabinets-photographer-karen-loffing.jpg)
The diamond pattern we see on the island’s end shows up on kitchen windows…so unique.

I have a sneaky suspicion you are going to note many more inspiring design details in what follows…
![Classic white kitchen with professional stainless range and white tiled backsplash - Edward Deegan Architects.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/edward-deegan-architects-timeless-kitchen-renovation-blue-cabinets-photographer-karen-loffing-3.jpg)
For example, notice all the geometry going on with the shapes of light fixtures, furnishings, and architectural details.

Classic Built-ins
The diamond pattern is a repetitive one we see on the built-in’s doors as well.

6. Architectural Symmetry
Contemporary and modern style kitchens are often designed with angles, curves, and also unique configurations.

The introduction of classic navy blue on base cabinets in the laundry room certainly adds a charming coastal feel which remains timeless.

Window Seat in Elegant Nook
Built-in window seats add a classic as well as cozy element to breakfast nooks, hearth rooms, and living spaces adjacent to the kitchen. Integrated storage and custom upholstery also elevate the luxury.

Magnificent Millwork & Mudroom
Plenty of traditional design elements fall from favor. Herringbone pattern flooring, for example, is having a moment across design styles. It’s a configuration which may be traced back to ancient Egyptian jewelry as well as Roman Empire roadways.
![Custom kitchen by Edward Deegan. #kitchendesign #whitekitchen](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/edward-deegan-architects-maple-project-014.jpg)

In this mudroom space, herringbone tile flooring stands up to abuse, defines the space, and repeats the cheerful blue accent introduced throughout the home.

Whimsical Wall Covering & Painted Beadboard
Why not bring a smile to every guest who enters a jewel box of a powder bath? A console sink and beaded board trim recall the past yet feel glamorous and fresh.

I’m so frustrated with them, and it’s not the fault of the ad company – it is a Google style issue they are working to resolve. Such a disaster! I hope it will be gone soon.
