Materials
Materials and finishes for a lasting Gloucester kitchen

A Gloucester kitchen sees daily wear, so cabinets, counters and flooring are chosen to hold up, not just to photograph well.
- Sturdy cabinetry with hardware that keeps working, not just looking good.
- Stone or engineered counters chosen for wear, not only for color.
- A durable, cleanable floor sized for a working kitchen.
- A backsplash and layered lighting that finish the room.
From Annisquam to Magnolia, 18th- and 19th-century maritime homes and waterfront residences across its Cape Ann villages often add layout and access constraints, which is exactly why the finish is specified for the home rather than a catalog.
