Volume 5: May
When we are designing a kitchen remodel project with our clients, we often mention that there is going to be a lot less of something in the new space. It could be fewer windows, less floor space, heck, even less cabinetry which sounds a little crazy. This new void allows space for a whole bunch of new wonderful. This kitchen remodeling project was no different.
We love a good before and after
No More Little Drawers
When we are designing a kitchen remodel project with our clients, we often mention that there is going to be a lot less of something in the new space. It could be fewer windows, less floor space, heck, even less cabinetry which sounds a little crazy. This new void allows space for a whole bunch of new wonderful. This kitchen remodeling project was no different.
Working with previous clients is always a fantastic bonus. These clients were no exception, especially since the wife knew exactly what she wanted. I don’t mean the exact hardware or range, but she knew exactly how she wanted it to look and feel. That was ideal as they were open to design solutions but were quick to stay on track and focused.
Here’s what we focused on:
Gray color palette with natural wood for warmth.
An island with seating and a nice big sink with an Insta-hot faucet.
Open shelving for style and display for family keepsakes.
Traditional style cabinetry with custom features.
Black as an accent in hardware and lighting.
All new stainless appliances.
Removing the soffit above the cabinets to add a feeling of spaciousness.
Closing the window without a view while keeping the abundance of natural light in the home.
Is there anything I would change? Nothing. I’m never a fan of an icemaker in the refrigerator door, but you try arguing with native Midwesterners about their ice.
