The kitchen had potential – nice quality cabinets, a view, and space to improve.
So I made improvements:
- All new appliances with wooden refrigerator doors blend the Sub Zero refrigerator with the cabinetry that is visible from the entry.
- The existing cabinets were sanded.
- The soffit above the refrigerator and the top of a partial wall that divided the kitchen from the family room were eliminated.
- A new cabinetry section was added to replace the kitchen desk. It holds small appliances and file drawers for kitchen related materials.
- The new leathered granite countertop/pass through to the family room has bar stool seating on the family room side. Blacks are easy to blend.
- A new cabinetry section was needed for the island. We didn’t need to have space for bar stools. The rounded corners mimic the original countertop. The sliding doors have the same spacing as the new cabinet opposite.
- The 6” cans were replaced with 2” cans and hand painted medallions were added to the ceiling.
- For interest and depth, the door into the office was removed which allowed space for the artwork (Apple by Weston).
- A custom shelf in this laundry area is handy and expands the kitchen.
