L. Kitchen Remodel

The L. Kitchen Remodel was a full design package.  We drew a new floor plan, new cabinetry and chose new materials.  The conceptual drawings we do at the beginning of the project give you a very good idea of what to expect your new space too look and feel like.  They are an excellent start point as far as materials, appliances, plumbing and lighting go as well.




 

Usually our Before and After pictures line up nicely so that you can see exactly what has been done.  The before and after photos of this project vary so much since we moved a whole wall, that we thought it would be helpful to include a before and after floor plan to compare.

We opened up the wall that separated the Dining room and the Kitchen and tied it together with counter seating.  
This client does a lot of cooking, so it was important to them that they have some counter space.  It was difficult to maneuver the new floor plan around existing storage spaces, but we couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. As you can see, the sink stayed put, the stove moved to another wall and the refrigerator moved to the other end of the kitchen to allow for more work space.

This client was a fan of a more modern look.  They traded raised panel white cabinetry with slab doors on stained alder wood.  When I asked how they were liking the new modern feel they said they loved it.  It is so much less work cleaning than the raised panel doors. With a slab door you can just wipe it down and not worry about the divots. The flooring went from old tiling, to a hardwood floor to match the rest of the house.  The back splash was a very old school square tile so they traded up for a more modern long glass subway brick with accent mosaic.



By choosing a full design package, they got more work and storage space, and a better connectivity from the Dining Room to the Kitchen and some great new updated materials.  They are loving the new kitchen, and we had fun creating it for them.
