They say "Third Time's a Charm." That may be, but this is the second Kitchen remodel we have worked on with my client in the last year in Kirkland, Washington! After a great outcome on a kitchen remodel on their first house, our client decided to sell their home in a great market and quickly moved on to another home a few blocks away that fit their needs better. They are very happy the second time around with the changes and updates. (I'm hoping they stay and enjoy this for a while) The new house was in great condition, but the client wanted to update many rooms including the kitchen, family room and den. We focused on reducing cost by utilizing the existing cabinets and refacing them with white painted shaker cabinet doors. We also extended the cabinets by filling in the void (aka Dust Trap) between the top cabinets and the ceiling. This lengthens the cabinets and gives them a built in custom cabinet look. The added crown trim, mill work panels and glossy paint looks great and avoids the "what do I put in the void above the cabinet" question.
