Post & Beam Modern Kitchen
Shelburne, Massachusetts
We worked with our clients in Shelburne, MA, to create a functional and joyful modern kitchen. This space features a storage-packed kitchen island with seating and smart design elements that maximize both style and usability.
The pantry wall offers dual functionality. On one side, it serves as a practical closet, while the other side provides open shelving for display. To achieve a seamless and polished look, we wrapped the entire wall of cabinets in matching finished plywood.
For the cabinetry design, we used a natural clear wood wax finish combined with a vibrant pop of color. Our clients chose to color-block sections with our custom Mountain Mint finish, crafted using Osmo wood waxes. This playful detail adds personality and depth, creating a unique focal point in the kitchen.
We incorporated thoughtful storage solutions throughout the space. These include a pull-out trash and recycling system, a spice and oil pullout, and a custom pantry with both shelving and pull-outs for added convenience. Open shelving beneath the slab-front upper cabinets features colorful back panels and under-cabinet lighting, which tie beautifully into the bold concrete backsplash. In the window corner, we added curved floating shelves to display decorative items, bringing a softer, personalized touch to the design.
The kitchen island with seating serves as the heart of the space. It’s perfect for meals, work, or entertaining. Additionally, the island includes a hidden cabinet on the reverse side, offering extra storage while keeping the design clean and modern.

We loved working with Boxco!! The team at Boxco is kind, highly skilled, creative, and a joy to be around. They design and craft absolutely beautiful cabinets that are uniquely personalized to your needs and space. The attention to detail -- like the extra open shelf space they incorporated for our small yet important trinkets -- makes our kitchen feel extra special. Couldn't recommend their work more highly!
