Galley Kitchen Remodel Scottsdale 85254

9 years ago





This was a 1976 galley kitchen that was totally transformed into an open kitchen great-room concept. How gorgeous is this?

    George Milliken: Way to rain on someone's parade! Cut these people some slack! They probably haven't gotten a chance to accessorize yet or add window treatments. I believe they are just showing the new floors and counters and cabinets. It looks like they just finished with the major reno and I'm sure they will add the rest later. It is a process. Renos are expensive and they are probably just catching their breath before they finish with everything else. I think it is a major improvement from the ugly 12 x 12 tile floor they used to have. I think the floor, counters and cabinets are a great foundation and a lovely update. Kudos to them! I like the color combo and the white counters. This just needs a few finishing touches and then they are there!!!!!

      Wow, looks great! I can't believe how similar it is to our recent remodel of our galley kitchen [see pic]. Except yours is much bigger. Even the floor is similar! We are currently waiting on appliances and backsplash and then we're done :)

      They missed the mark on two key items:

      1. When remodeling and the need arises to move a ceiling light, do it correctly. Swagging the light in the eating area looks and is cheap; opening the ceiling and relocating the box would have improved the look 10,000%. Doing it correctly would have not added much to the bottom line since electrical and drywall work was already being done at the other end of the kitchen when drop ceiling was removed. The chandelier is way too big for the low ceiling and is not at all in keeping with the simple cabinet design.

      2. The table and chairs look like something that one would find in a low end used furniture store. The wood color and "carved" chairs are just old and further detract from what could have been a nice update to a very dated kitchen.

      You did great. I love all the storage, that bank of cabinets is fantastic! Getting that storage was worth swagging the light in order to move the table over.

      We agree with deeners1 - they just haven't accessorized yet, and just need a bit more time to pull things together. We'd like to suggest [Fodeez Dry Erase Adhesive Frames[(https://www.houzz.com/products/adhesive-display-frames-8-piece-organization-collection-granite-beveled-prvw-vr~52967190) to warm up the stainless steel appliances with family photos and calendars for organization. We love the new look!

      If this is supposed to be a sleek kitchen based on the hood, a slab door might have been a better choice. Is there a backsplash? It can be the wake up call.

      Nice!

      Why has this been featured for the last 4 weeks, Houzz? I can't imagine there not being new remodels out there.

      That looks great, I'm hoping to see more color once you finish decorate. I'd love to see some green plants :)
