Ellicott City Transitional Kitchen 2

This kitchen was due for an upgrade, as well as some rearranging! The plan is to move the fridge over to where the pantry is located, remove the pantry with wire shelves and replace it with amazing tall cabinets with rollouts, and center the range on that wall. In addition, we are making a new pocket door into the laundry room as well as revamping the banquette area.

Backsplash: Floridatile Streamline, 4" x 12" with Calacatta Gold penny rounds
