Who doesn’t love a kitchen that dazzles! While this kitchen had good bones to begin with, it was ready for some love in the form of an upgrade. We wanted to open up the kitchen and dining area to create a more coherent and balanced space that would allow for easier culinary functionality and an inviting dining atmosphere. We began this project by lowering the countertops and bar top area and moving the island to allow more space between the island and counters. The sink was enhanced to a composite stainless steel single basin and the backsplash tile was upgraded to a polished white marble in a herringbone pattern. We crafted custom handmade cabinets for the microwave, mixer, and an organizer for baking sheets that keeps appliances and accessories easily accessible but nicely organized. In the dining room we replaced the cabinets with open shelving, carried the backsplash over from the kitchen, and added additional storage space as well as new windows that make the dining room look twice as large!
