The goal was to transform kitchen with generic, builder grade cabinets into warm, inviting and functional space. This client wanted very traditional finishes in the kitchen: cabinets with raised panel, stain with glaze finish and natural stone countertop. I think the desire of the homeowner to stay traditional with our help made this kitchen feel updated and current. With extending cabinets and adding the window, kitchen gained more balance and light. Kitchen sink was moved from an Island to a newly installed window. Island was pulled closer to the back wall, improving functionality of working triangle in the kitchen. Now, with added storage, wine fridge and seating, island became gathering spot for the family events. Added pantry completed the built-in look for the refrigerator area. Under-cabinet lighting and lighting above the cabinets added another layer to the complete design aesthetic. Clients preferences and requests are something that drive design process and being an inspiration. It is true joy to see when a collaboration with clients creates beautiful space that are tailored to unique life style and personality.
