Baby Boomer Kitchen Makeover
http://Dallasrenovationgroup.com

This 1960’s era kitchen, complete with period fur-downs, short cabinets, and a star-trek console island was ripe for a remodel. Traffic flow was a big issue, as the utility room and garage door accessed the kitchen in the middle of the work triangle.
By redirecting traffic flow through the kitchen by moving the garage access, and re-arranging the work areas, this gourmet kitchen is now ready for battle. Gone is the stain-grade cabinets, and console island, confusing layout, and the busy wallpaper.
The focal point of this new kitchen is most certainly the 9 foot, black walnut, Red island. This spacious Island has a myriad of cool features, including under-counter cubbies for toddler crafts, two distinct sitting areas for work or socializing, and an in-island microwave drawer accessible to everyone. Just behind the island is a beautiful Viking range sitting just under a custom patina copper vent hood. The kitchen was widened over 16” and all the new painted cabinetry, including the double refrigerator finishes off an open, light and airy new gourmet kitchen. Add the pull-out pantry cabinets, the redesigned “mother’s desk”, and the farmhouse sink, and you have a masterpiece.

hood - hi - can you give me information about the hood over the cooktop? is it copper? »
· Comment · 14 months ago
Dallas Renovation Group This is a custom made copper hood, hand rubbed to achieve a lateral patina. I have attached a close-up, so you can see the detail. This home had some real rustic charm, so we thought this was better than bright shiny copper.

What kind of flooring is this? So beautiful! »
· Comment · 15 months ago
Dallas Renovation Group This is just rough-sawn Red Oak, with varying widths and lengths. The floor is probably 10+ years old, but after we moved everything around (literally), we interlaced new Red Oak floors, sanded, and re-stained it all, with a Poly finish.

Who makes the island? »

Dallas Renovation Group The island is (was) custom made by a local Dallas-are cabinet maker. It was custom designed with the children's book nook underneath and seating area (right, with 3 stools).

valvalg I love the butcher block top. We are planning same (oiled as well). How thick is this piece?
10 months ago ·
Dallas Renovation Group This is 4" Thick, and took quite a bit of oil upon original installation (about 4 slather coats until it settled down). Best of Luck!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
The kitchen's new design revolves around the 9-foot-long island. Stow and his team kept the client's desire for a multipurpose kitchen in mind and designed a large island that could serve multiple functions. The island has two distinct seating areas, with under-counter cabinets for children's crafts and knickknacks on one end. The island countertop is custom made of 4" thick black walnut. To give the kitchen a warm, farmhouse feel, they painted it a rich red, and accented it with simple barstools the clients already owned. Island paint color: Antique Red 7587, Sherwin WilliamsBacksplash: Walker Zanger Contessa Collection, Chantilly in Taupe
Speaking of focal points, you can incorporate red cabinetry with just an island. This island adds a punch of color to the surrounding creamy neutrals.Learn more about this kitchen
added by Becky Harris to Sample Bright Color in the Kitchen
Try it out: This red island shows a semipermanent commitment to the hue. However, if a blue mood should strike the homeowner, it could be repainted without too much trouble.
