A Modern, High Contrast Lake House Kitchen with The Identité Collective

May 18, 2022 by EuroChef

Verona Appliances recently partnered with Anastasia Casey of the Identité Collective to create a modern, high contrast kitchen for her off-the-beaten-path lake house in east Texas. “As I considered the mealtime logistics of our trips to the lake, I knew we’d be putting the kitchen appliances to good use,” says Anastasia. “But here’s the catch: our lake house [didn’t] have gas, so we needed to find electric appliances that fit our modern tastes.”

Continue to read below for more details on Anastasia’s kitchen renovation and why she loves cooking with electric!

A Trendy, Matte Black Electric Range

Anastasia knew that Verona Appliances had a reputation for quality, but the matte black finish is what sealed the deal. “Finding a beautiful electric range was priority number one,” she says. “I wasn’t willing to compromise aesthetics, so after days and days of research, I was ecstatic to find this matte black option from Verona.” For Anastasia, the 36” Designer Electric Range in Matte Black reminded her of the cooking appliance she had at her primary residence. Even better, it perfectly matched the paint color (Tricorn Black SW 6258 by Sherwin-Williams) on her cabinetry for a seamless, moody look – which is something nicely unexpected in a lake house!

For Anastasia, who’s used to cooking with gas, an electric stovetop was a learning curve. However, her opinion on this cooking method was transformed.  “For starters, it’s shockingly easy to keep clean,” she says. “Without all the metal grates to fuss over, I can just let it cool and wipe up any spills or splatters.”

Seeking Balance with a Low Profile Range Hood

When the cabinetry and range colors were finalized, Anastasia had second thoughts about her plans for a range hood. “I felt like we needed some black up top to balance the space,” she says. She decided on the 36” Low Profile Range Hood  that could be mounted under a custom-built header with shiplap trim and then painted the same black shade as the rest of the kitchen cabinetry.

A Large, French Door Refrigerator Built for Families on the Go

If you’re on vacation at a lake house, you’re likely spending most of your precious hours in the great outdoors or on the go. Anastasia can agree. “We’re constantly coming and going from the lake house,” she says. A large, 36” French Door Refrigerator with clear interior storage bins can easily show you what’s stocked, what needs to be tossed and what can be stowed away in the freezer to avoid food waste. “I love that the doors each have deep compartments, plus it came with a standard freeze drawer AND deep freeze drawer option,” says Anastasia. The counter-depth fridge from Verona was given a built-in look by reusing and refinishing the existing upper cabinet box, adding a faux side panel of pine plywood and trimming everything in to tie it all together.

Dishwashers as a Necessity

No one wants to do dishes while on vacation. That’s why dishwashers can be the true workhorses of any vacation home. To round out the kitchen, Anastasia added a brand-new 24” Tall Tub Built-in Dishwasher to the lake house. “With clean lines and a stainless finish, it feels very top-of-the-line, and there’s also a handy light that turns on whenever it’s open,” she says.

Overall, the kitchen renovation was a breeze and Anastasia is thrilled with the results. “Once things were in place, we simply plugged things in and put them straight to use—electric appliances for the win.”

A Modern Kitchen for a Photographer’s Brooklyn Studio

March 14, 2022 by EuroChef

Verona Appliances recently partnered with Deborah Main of the Pillow Goddess to create a modern kitchen for Brooklyn-based product photographer and director Cason Latimer. Cason recently expanded his studio with an on-site, modern kitchen to better serve his growing client portfolio. “I recommended the Designer Series ranges and hoods from Verona Appliances because of my personal and professional experience with the luxury brand’s superior quality and diverse options,” said Deborah Main, designer of Cason’s studio kitchen.

Affordable Luxury

A photographer’s studio is fast-paced, with multiple photoshoots happening simultaneously. Cason needed a range and ventilation hood that would be a reliable workhorse for his client’s projects. “[His] need for a professional-grade range without the price tag was essential for his business to attract top-notch clients,” she says.

Create Your Own Custom Verona Range

What’s great about the luxury Verona Designer Series ranges – whether your personal preference is induction, gas, or electric – is that homeowners and kitchen designers can customize their range with the Designer Range Builder.  

Cason chose the Verona Designer Series 36″ Induction Range and 36” Wall-Mounted Range Hood for its professional performance, superior craftsmanship, and affordability. The design of his kitchen, a very modern, clean look, necessitated a range that seamlessly fit in with his new countertop, cabinetry, and classic white backsplash. Plus, the luxury appliances were easy on his wallet.

“With Verona’s many color options, Cason chose a stainless steel finish for his Designer Series Induction 36” range, as it offers that clean, fresh look, which is an excellent choice for any modern kitchen,” says Deborah. “Plus, to be honest, his new range and hood had to look stunning to impress his new clients, and Verona ranges are gorgeous!”

The Details Make All the Difference

The Verona Designer Series 36″ Induction Range and hood make Cason’s studio kitchen a real stand out. “He has many new photography clients in the food industry, and I know he is thrilled to be able to prep and cook on Verona’s magnificent luxury range. Plus, he has the Chefs Pak to make it all a breeze!” says Deborah.

In addition to the range and range hood, Cason also has a variety of accessories from the Chefs Pak, which will significantly help preparation for food and beverage photoshoots. Deborah has a few of the accessories herself and says, “my husband and I recently used the Verona griddle for pancakes and steaks last night, and its performance is excellent!”

Note: Verona recently released a new and improved Chefs Pak, swapping out the stainless steel griddle for a cast iron griddle, which is more lightweight and works well on induction cooktops.

Deborah cannot recommend Verona more highly. “It is of superior quality and will elevate your kitchen to luxury status and professional performance,” she says. “Before you know it, you’ll feel like a professional chef!”
