This kitchen had potential, but its cramped layout and unused features hindered its functionality. The client envisioned a more open and inviting space that reflected her personal style. Determined to transform this dated space, the client entrusted me with the challenge of creating a kitchen that seamlessly integrated with the family room, maximized functionality, and exuded a sense of personality.
The transformation began by widening the kitchen doorway, expanding from a restrictive 6 feet to a spacious 13 feet. This instantly opened the layout and fostered a more connected feel with the family room. Gone was the unused bar, replaced by a sleek pantry tucked away in a nearby hallway. In its place, a majestic double oven cabinet took center stage, featuring a large single oven and a convenient Advantium oven above. A bulky peninsula gave way to a functional island, offering ample seating, a deep single-bowl sink with a clever sponge drawer, and hidden gems, such as a dishwasher and dual trash bins. A touch to activate faucet with a matching soap dispenser added a touch of modern convenience, while air switches controlled the garbage disposal and pendant lights, infusing a layer of tech-savvy magic. Every inch of this kitchen was meticulously designed for maximum functionality and style. Clever cabinetry optimizers ensured clutter-free zones for everything from stools and spices to oils and utensils. Holiday dishes found a comfortable home in a dedicated set of upper cabinets. The backsplash, adorned with an arabesque dance of color and shape, became a captivating focal point. A glass-doored beverage center proudly displayed cherished glasses and mugs, while the breakfast nook's new storage bench beckoned with an invitation for coffee and conversation. The once-dated brick fireplace found new life with Austin Stone and a unique mantle sourced from Canton, adding a touch of characterful charm. Even the laundry room received a makeover, boasting deeper cabinets, a handy bench, and a playful, patterned tile underfoot, making chores a little more enjoyable. Layered lighting, from recessed fixtures to pendant drops and under-cabinet illumination, bathed the space in a warm and inviting glow.
Let this transformation be a reminder that a beautiful and functional space doesn't have to be out of reach. With vision, creativity, and a touch of magic, any kitchen can become the heart of your home.
