Modern Kitchen Remodel

My client’s 30-year old kitchen and adjacent laundry room were tired and falling apart. It was time for a complete re-do. After showing them several alternatives – 2 of which substantially changed the layout of the kitchen – they opted for a layout that was similar to their original layout but with appliances moved to more efficient locations and with more counter space and storage.
They wanted modern but with a touch of warmth.

Zip Code: 20817
We added an efficient L-Shaped Peninsula while keeping the eating area open and airy.

The cabinets, counters, and backsplash are all impervious to stains and all in a complementary shade of light grey-taupe.

The cabinets above the peninsula are suspended the same height as the soffit – helping the room feel open. Lighting above the cabinets and within the soffit area brightens the whole space.

2 custom lighted niches (one shown here) are at each entrance. Each is equipped with color-matched magnetic glass white boards, charging stations, and message centers.

The adjacent laundry room can be glimpsed from the kitchen and was updated with the same materials as the kitchen.
