A Compact Kitchen Gets a Custom Overhaul!

11 years ago

A lovely Colonial revival in Larchmont NY was begging for a kitchen facelift. Custom cabinetry by Studio Dearborn in a soft grey (Benjamin Moore's Balboa Mist) was fitted into the compact kitchen utilizing every inch of space. The old tile floor was replaced with hardwood so it would flow into the other spaces of the house. The eating peninsula was lowered to counter height, to open up the space further. As you can see from the before photo, we didnt change the layout much at all, but it really feels very different, and is stylistically much more in keeping with the house.

    Really not a big fan of white subway tile, but it really works well here. Maybe because you don't just use it as a strip of backsplash. This is a very lovely and comfortable looking kitchen.

    Really great, and without having to change the footprint.

    Love it! That little vertical cabinet beside the range is such a great idea!

    Very dull with all white - looks a bit clinical like a hospital - all cabinets, layout etc. are nice, but would have been better to have a nice contrast of colour in the backsplash.

    Not loving the floor-doesn't seem to mesh, but infinitely better than previous. I also have one of those little vertical pantry drawers and its awesome! Good job!

    I love it all! What is the countertop? Soapstone? Can I ask how much this renovation cost?

    the countertops are Jet Mist granite which look a lot like soapstone but are very durable!

    Great reno! A nice touch is a curved track light in a small kitchen.....it not only provides general lighting but when adjusted shines INTO the cabinets, which makes finding everything much easier.....Under cabinet lighting is wonderful as well, it provides much needed task lighting!

    Wow, what a change! The featured narrow-stacked drawer highlights the thoughtful use of space.
