Welcome to the heart of a mid-century modern deck house in Concord, MA. This kitchen showcases the timeless appeal of thoughtful design, highlighted by stunning blue kitchen cabinets. Carolyn and Johnny, our clients, chose Medex for their cabinet fronts and paneling because of its durability, smooth surface, and soft texture. We applied our custom “Indigo” wood wax to the cabinets, creating a rich blue hue. This deep color enhances the home’s warm architecture and adds an elegant touch to the space.

Acorn deck houses are iconic examples of mid-century modern design. They feature open layouts, post-and-beam construction, and expansive windows that invite natural light inside. Designed to harmonize with nature, these homes showcase striking wood ceilings and clean architectural lines. This home provided the perfect backdrop for a kitchen update that honors its roots while incorporating fresh elements.

To create contrast and balance, we anchored the kitchen island with maple Europly shelving, complementing the blue kitchen cabinets beautifully. These open shelves soften the transition between the wooden ceiling and the cabinetry. For a cohesive look, we powder-coated the cabinet pulls in a color that matches the Indigo finish. The white Café appliances and concrete countertops brighten the room, keeping it light and airy. Meanwhile, the Palm Springs-inspired tile backsplash adds a cheerful pop of mid-century flair.

This project seamlessly blends respect for the original architecture with modern functionality. Every material and design choice connects the past to the present. The result is a kitchen that captures the enduring charm of mid-century modern style while meeting the needs of contemporary living. The thoughtful mix of colors, textures, and materials creates a space that feels both sophisticated and inviting.
