When a young family purchased this Tudor home in a great location, they knew the first remodel project would be the dated kitchen and shiny espresso stained floors. By using the existing footprint, we created a more family friendly, functional and inviting space, by accenting the white upper modified shaker cabinets with a custom stained rift sawn white oak base cabinets. The quartz countertops and backsplash helped lighten the space with the addition of a peninsula for ample seating and guest engagement. Our goal was the expose the chimney adjacent to the fridge, but during demo, found the chase was in poor condition. We added the brick tiles, to create the illusion of exposed brick and texture to the space.
