When we began designing JTH Tucson, we couldn’t have been luckier that Café Appliances had just released their gorgeous collection with a focus on design. As soon as we saw it, we knew it would work perfectly with this old southwestern inn—the matte white finish along with brushed bronze hardware had us swooning.
In the main kitchen at the inn, we went with Café Appliances french door refrigerator with the hot water dispenser (so fancy!). A year in of owning it, we’re still loving it more than ever. Our favorite feature which is particularly great in the desert is watching the water screen tell you how many ounces you’re drinking when you fill up a glass. It’s made us so much aware of how hydrated we are each day.
In each of the suites, like the Saguaro suite (above) we used their dual drawer fridges. Both drawers are a refrigerators and fit enough groceries for a few days which has been ideal for our guests. We also added one of these to our bar at the inn which is perfect for storing a few juices and various liquors to make some yummy cocktails.
We chose a couple of different oven styles throughout the inn. Where we built kitchens from scratch we chose the wall oven with a separate cooktop, and in kitchens that we made updates to (like the one above) we chose the slide in. The double oven was something we didn’t know we would love so much until we installed it. Being able to heat just half the oven for a simple meal is ideal, and when we’re cooking up a more intricate meal it’s such a relief to not have to time everything just right—it can go in whenever at whatever temp we want. It makes cooking so much more laid back.
We’ve been so impressed with how Café has pushed appliances forward in a design sense. Often, this makes people ask us if they work well since they’re so beautiful. After over a year of using them we’re really happy with both the functionality and the look. Let us know if you have any questions about the appliances in the comments, we’d be happy to share our experience!
Thank you to Café for helping us make the renovation of our dream abandoned inn possible. We are forever grateful for your partnership.
