Sunday Open House // The centerpiece of this North Hills home? A contemporary entertaining space featuring stone surfaces by Carolina Custom Kitchen & Bath. Here, clean-lined cabinetry done in ebony-stained maple with brass hardware meets its match with a dramatic ceiling-height backsplash in a dark gray quartz. The soft charcoal stone continues along the countertops with a waterfall-edge kitchen island. White quartz countertops in the adjoining scullery, powder bath and mudroom area flip the color scheme while keeping the spaces feeling cohesive.
