TRANSFORMATIONAL! Revamped 1974 footprint to create bright, spacious, highly functional heart of this home. Completely gutted and permitted expansion into the screened in porch to gain valuable square footage and additional west facing exposure. Client reimagined the kitchen beyond white cabinets and boldly chose two flat panel finishes - wood and grey high gloss enamel - with ease of cleaning in mind. Stunning backsplash tile reflects the client's spirit and love of color. Custom designed island to incorporate maximum seating and storage with a nod to their sustainability concerns by repurposing wood for the posts. Selected a porcelain tile wood plank to manage the heavy traffic from people and pets. The inclusion of a living wall, space for composting, a casement window to capture afternoon breezes, custom art installation to showcase their love of their dogs and the coolest, dimmable LED light fixture completed this southern California transitional vibe.
