The kitchen was kept clean with a handle-less design including appliances! We were able to install the fully integrated refrigerator and dishwasher without handles. A large mechanical chase limited how much we could open this room to the rest of the unit, but cladding it completely in matching panels helps to disguise it and camouflage it in the space. The breakfast a… - [Sonoma Mid Century](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sonoma-mid-century-pj-vj~2849560) - Location: Sonoma, CA - Photos: 11 - Description: Small Galley kitchen in Sonoma, CA.

We were able to open up most of the space, but the return back into the corner was not able to be altered without losing a bedroom. We chose to put all the 'kitchen clutter' and appliances back there to hide it from view when you enter the home. The clerestory windows were made into a feature by holding the upper cabinets below the sill, and under lighting them. This makes a very functiona… - [Hollywood Hills](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hollywood-hills-pj-vj~2852604) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 19 - Description: This whole-house remodel included a complete re-work of the existing kitchen space. We opened the area up to the outside and completely re-did the layout of the space. The kitchen includes light cream colored tall back wall of cabinets in matte lacquer. The island is an engineered dark wood grain with aluminum edge detail. The storage area is behind sliding glass doors to sort of 'repeat' the exterior glass doors, and to completely hide all of the typical kitchen clutter.

A: Sure! The countertop is quartz. The brand is Cambria in the color Brittanicca Gold. **Q: I love the countertop.** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me what the name of the countertop is, please? A: The countertops are Quartz. Cambria Brittanicca Gold with a 1 1/2" mitered edge detail and minimal overhang. **Q: Nice. What is the countertop please?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi W. The countertops were quartz by Cambria. I can't remember specifically which color, but I think it was Brittannica Warm. **Q: Help me pick between two new kitchen layouts** *(in Remodeling)* Our 9ft galley kitchen isn’t working for our family of 4, so we are remodeling. We are planning on removing the island, moving the electric stove between the windows and extending the kitchen into the dining room. we are in a 1300sqft middle floor condo, so we are not able to do any structural changes such as adding ducts for a range hood, etc. This is the current kitchen seem from the dining table, it has 1 bank of drawers, 2 lower cabinets, and 2 upper cabinets plus the 2 above the sink/fridge. There is a walk-in pantry right of the fridge. Here are the two designs from my cabinet builder. Which do you prefer? Do you see any issues with the function? Design 1: Design 1 minimizes GC costs by keeping the fridge, sink and dishwasher in their current location. (it’s still costing us $16k for labor alone). I’m not sure it makes sense to have a peninsula directly next to the dining table? But I like that it brings definition to the kitchen. Thoughts? Design 2 Design 2 was Designed to extend counters under the window And requires moving the dishwasher and the fridge. It will cost more in labor. But Im not sure if I like the range being so close to the dining area? I was debating doing open shelving Instead of upper cabinets on the window wall and moving the microwave somewhere else, to improve the transition to the dining room; but my builder insists I will loose too much storage. Thoughts? would love any general comments and ideas, thanks! A: Look at rev-a-shelf for pull out trash bins. Hafele has a nice selection too, and your contractor should be able to Order from them. There are a lot of compact European trash solutions in Hafele. Something should work for you. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-04.*
