After moving from their waterfront home, this family needed their North Raleigh home to feel like a seaside escape. The existing kitchen was very traditional with heavy moldings and medium toned wood. By replacing with white inset cabinetry and running it to the ceiling we brightened the whole space. Cabinetry that had been between the kitchen and family room was removed allowing the wall to be opened up for a more unified space that better serves their family. Photos by Steven Paul Whitsitt
