Chevy Chase Kitchen Remodel & First Floor RenovationTraditional Kitchen, DC Metro

1. Blue beauty that does it all. This stately blue island adds contrast to the room, standing out against the white cabinets, walls and backsplash tiles. It immediately grabs your attention and begs you to pull up a barstool.It’s not just a place for sitting, though. The couple who live here with their two children also needed their remodeled kitchen to do a lot of work. That’s why, in addition to seating for three, Gilday Renovations helped the couple design an island with a stainless steel sink, two dishwashers and a polished marble top.Island color: Web Gray, Sherwin-WilliamsSee more of this kitchen

Photography by Morgan HowarthAFTER: This is basically the same angle as the previous photo, only now you can see how the kitchen got pushed back to the wall that was originally in the in-law unit. By doing this, the team was able to add new operable casement windows on each side of the cooking zone that offer views of the side yard outside. “They provide light, make it a friendlier space and anchor the range,” notes Morales. The new layout allowed room for an impressive custom center island with a large stainless steel Julien sink, two stainless KitchenAid dishwashers and a polished statuario white marble top from 3Cm. The couple painted the base of the island a blue-gray color (Web Gray by Sherwin-Williams) that provides contrast for the kitchen’s white cabinetry and the perimeter stone counters in Kodiak Brown with an antique finish from 3Cm.Wall paint: 1478 Horizon, Benjamin Moore; paint for ceiling inside coffers in breakfast area and family room: 1480 Sleigh Bells, Benjamin Moore; pendants: One-Light Downlight, Grosvenor
