The client did not want to change the size or layout of this kitchen space much. The main motivation was to replace the very outdated cabinets, appliances and finishes. One major change was raising the ceiling, which provides options for modern lighting touches. A unique design of cabinet layout and materials creates an eye-catching design. High quality tile and counter tops make for a robust touch. A new island provides function and seating, while dividing the space visually from the dining area.
