REMODELING PORTFOLIO: KITCHENS

A New Angle for the Modern Kitchen

Winner of the 2011 "Merit Award for Creative Design," Contractor of the Year Awards, NARI

This kitchen remodeling project consisted of transforming a cramped old kitchen into an open, spacious, light filled, and smoothly operating new kitchen, all within the existing footprint.

There was a stylish angled bay window added, which opened up views to the beautiful backyard. Clear tempered glass provided beautiful sightlines and filled the new kitchen with light and views.

Other highlights include:

• The new kitchen cabinets are solid wood arts and crafts style with a top quality matte finish. The door and drawer hardware are satin nickel modern pulls, very minimal.
• Glass doored wall cabinets add a sense of light and transparency to the new space, as do recessed light fixtures. Granite countertops, at a dramatic diagonal, unify the visual.
• Surface mounted halogen fixtures add sparkle in a laundry area and butler’s pantry.
• The flooring is a laminate hardwood, that continues a uniform look from the adjacent foyer and family room.
• A wall separating the kitchen from the family room was opened up, and  dramatic curved custom hardwood steps were added to create a transition and connection from the new kitchen to the family room.
