Kitchen Before and After

5 years ago

For functionality the stove top was placed against the wall with a top-of-the-line Chimney hood that really stands out against the handcrafted- handpicked back splash tile that drenches the walls in texture and style. A large sink placed under a large window and newly installed French patio door brings in breathtaking views. Luxury Vinyl Planks and handsome custom cabinetry bring an element of warmth to this kitchen's bright airy look.When these homeowners suffered severe water damage to their home, they looked at their forced upgrade as a chance at a creative remodel. Their existing Kitchen lacked logical flow, a two-level island that served as a cook top provided poor seating and storage options.

While the all-white kitchens will probably never go out of style, these San Jose natives wanted natural elements with some pops of color and took the opportunity to really make their home their own. A vaulted ceiling accentuates the spacious design and opens the space for a grand island topped with an exotic Lemurian Blue countertop provides an abundant work surface and offers seating around two sides. Shades of blue dance of the exquisite custom made hanging blue light pendent that brings in that wow factor.

Thanks to smart planning this kitchen now bursts with Storage. Through our design process a pantry and Bar was added. The Bar is complete with a beverage cooler, a prep sink, coffee station, bottle storage and open shelving making cooking, dining, and entertaining easy and fun with a kitchen that's filled with style and amenities.

Go ahead, toot your own horn. That kitchen is beautiful: the lighting is well-planned and the white backsplash keeps the kitchen bright. Nice to have the view, too.

Very nice, and it is nice to see a kitchen that is not the obligatory white and gray.

Yeah, they are kind of tooting their own horn! At least this one seems like a good design, unlike many of the others we get trying to praise themselves ... those usually get their designs skewered by the comments!

I agree with Chispa - usually these posts from construction companies show dismally-designed kitchens, but this one is really nice. Not cookie-cutter, well-laid out, good lighting choices, and I like how they handled the sloping prep-sink wall which was very well done. If I had to change one thing, it's the hood. Those flat-bottomed hoods don't exhaust well; I would have installed a canopy-shaped chimney hood with baffle filters (but maybe the client insisted on the flat-bottomed hood).

Your kitchen is awesome! Not the biggest fan of wood finish cabinetry but what you have installed is beautiful! Great job!

I love the wood finish, like many I am over the shaker white cabinet and appreciate seeing another style. Well done - in my opinion.

Love it. I’m so tired of the ubiquitous white & gray kitchens with white subway backsplashes that everyone seems to do ..... even in cheap “flip” homes. While I have a white kitchen ( for the past 20 years ), this looks more current & interesting. I started noticing the trend towards wood finished kitchens a few years ago in higher end homes.
