Lincoln Park Remodel

Carolyn Tracy Interiors

Kitchen is completely new. Took out a wall between the old kitchen and dining room and created this large living space. Interior furnishings are still on thier way but the kitchen itself is finished. The refrigerator Armoire wasdone in a darker stain to break up the cabinet wall and create warmth. The Island is beautiful Quarzite and is all one piece. Doors had to be removed and cranes brought the piece in along with 10 contractors but in the end it was definitely worth it! The island is detailed with a double ogee edge. The backsplace is simple and creates a sense of unity in the kitchen. Carolyn Tracy

Transitional Rustic Elegant

Laura Medicus Interiors

This is a lovely, 2 story home in Littleton, Colorado. It backs up to the High Line Canal and has truly stunning mountain views. When our clients purchased the home it was stuck in a 1980's time warp and didn't quite function for the family of 5. They hired us to to assist with a complete remodel. We took out walls, moved windows, added built-ins and cabinetry and worked with the clients more rustic, transitional taste. Check back for photos of the clients kitchen renovation!

Transitional Kitchen and Great Room Remodel in Ft. Myers

Progressive Design Build

We anchored the kitchen with a large custom island that features a gorgeous single hand-hammered copper sink, bronze faucets and two dish washers. Along the wall is a French culinary handmade La Cornue stove and custom-built range hood that creates a stunning focal point. It’s surrounded by classic white stacked cabinetry—the left- and right-side cabinets flush with the countertops. The top row of cabinets is designed with glass-paneled doors and in-cabinet lighting perfect for highlighting kitchen collectibles. A convenient way to save valuable counter space, and help provide a clean, clutter-free look for the kitchen, we installed an appliance garage with plenty of storage. The large, walk-in pantry was designed with convenient roll out shelves. The kitchen countertops were topped with Taj Mahal quartzite, which were polished in a leathered finish to create the rustic feel our clients were looking for. Two large refrigerator/freezer combo units were designed into the space to provide plenty of food storage, both fresh and frozen. A convenient “Command Center” was added to one end of the refrigerator wall, concealed behind the cabinet doors, to store mail, a kid’s activity calendar, school papers, a bulletin board, etc. The base cabinet between the kitchen and great room was designed with plenty of drawers and a high-power docking station for charging multiple devices, including tablets, phones, reading devices, and headsets.

Refined Organic - The Gray & Copper Hued Kitchen

A remodel of a 20 year old builder grade kitchen. Dura Supreme cabinets in Pearl and Storm, glazed & distressed finish. We ran with an organic, refined yet grounded look choosing a copper farmhouse sink, bronze cabinet hardware, capiz shell pendant lights & slate subway tile in natural copper/gray hues. The reddish tone of the engineered wood floor continues in warming the space and complements the gray nicely.

Transitional Kitchen with Distressed Cabinets and Paneled Appliances Ideas

No room is quite as multifunctional as the kitchen with Distressed Cabinets and Paneled Appliances. The hub of the home, this space has evolved from a strictly utilitarian unit into a versatile room to prepare food, entertain guests and share meals. If you’re looking to do a kitchen remodel, keep in mind that a successful transitional kitchen with Distressed Cabinets and Paneled Appliances design needs to blend functionality with personal prerequisites. Find thousands of transitional kitchen with Distressed Cabinets and Paneled Appliances ideas to help you come up with the perfect transitional design for your space.

How do I determine my kitchen layout?

If you're starting a kitchen renovation, now is a great time to create exactly what you want. When it comes to layout, always optimize your space; focus on functionality and how your design can cater to the needs of you and your family. For tight spaces, a galley layout is a great kitchen remodeling option. Since horizontal space is limited, think vertical; stack counters and shelves high up on the walls, and try to find innovative storage containers and double-duty pieces. For larger layouts, try an L-shaped or U-shaped design with a big center island or peninsula. These shapes provide plenty of cabinet and countertop space, and you can add a bar-height counter to the island for an instant eat-in space. Reviewing transitional kitchen with Distressed Cabinets and Paneled Appliances pictures and photos is a great way to get a feel for different kitchen layouts and help you decide what you want. Another essential kitchen remodel essential to consider is the work triangle, which is a 70-year-old concept that is still highly utilized within the design world today. A simple idea that can save both time and energy, the work triangle connects the three main work areas: the sink, the stove and the refrigerator. As a general guideline, the distance between these areas should be no less than 4 feet and no larger than 9 feet. The sum of all three sides of the triangle should be between 13 feet and 26 feet. Given how highly effective this utilitarian design is, definitely take it into account when considering kitchen designs.

How can I add more kitchen storage?

Kitchen designs can be a complex undertaking given the sheer amount of items that the room usually contains. In order to store and organize all your cookware, bakeware and small appliances, you need cabinets, drawers and shelves to spare. To maximize your space, you can include cabinets in your island, purchase spice racks, install hanging pot racks, insert pullout storage and invest in a cart. You want to achieve clutter-free countertops, so also consider spaces you may never have before, such as corners or under the sink. You can also free up some space by storing infrequently used items outside of actual kitchens, like in storage rooms or basements.
