There was absolutely nothing wrong with this kitchen:
It was well built, well maintained, and had plenty of life left in it. But every time our client walked into the space, it felt too dark, and the layout didn’t work for the way his family actually lived.
His wish list was pretty clear: remove the peninsula in favor of a large island where the whole family could gather, brighten the room with high-gloss white cabinetry, add hidden allllllllllll of the hidden accessories, and let the Crystallo quartzite be the star of the show.
One of my favorite parts of this project is something you can’t even see! We were able to keep the sink in its original location, which meant the plumbing stayed exactly where it was while completely transforming the kitchen. Those are the kinds of behind-the-scenes decisions that can make a renovation simpler, more efficient, and more cost-effective.
The end result is brighter, more open, and designed around the way this family actually lives.
Every family is different, and every home should reflect the people who live in it. My job isn’t to recreate the same kitchen over and over again. It’s to listen, solve problems, and create spaces that fit YOU.
Not what’s trending, not what’s all over Pinterest, not what the neighbors or Jones are doing.
Just what feels like home!💓
