  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   Our clients had been in their home since the early 1980’s and decided it was time for some updates. We took on the kitchen, two bathrooms and a powder room. The layout in the kitchen was functional for them, so we kept that pretty much as is. Our client wanted a contemporary-leaning transitional look — nice clean lines with a gray and white palette. Light gray cabinets with a slightly darker gray subway tile keep the northern exposure light and airy. They also purchased some new furniture for their breakfast room and adjoining family room, so the whole space looks completely styled and new. The light fixtures are staggered and give a nice rhythm to the otherwise serene feel. The homeowners were not 100% sold on the flooring choice for little powder room off the kitchen when I first showed it, but now they think it is one of the most interesting features of the design. I always try to “push” my clients a little bit because that’s when things can get really fun and this is what you are paying for after all, ideas that you may not come up with on your own. We also worked on the two upstairs bathrooms. We started first on the hall bath which was basically just in need of a face lift. The floor is porcelain tile made to look like carrera marble. The vanity is white Shaker doors fitted with a white quartz top. We re-glazed the cast iron tub. The master bath was a tub to shower conversion. We used a wood look porcelain plank on the main floor along with a Kohler Tailored vanity. The custom shower has a barn door shower door, and vinyl wallpaper in the sink area gives a rich textured look to the space. Overall, it’s a pretty sophisticated look for its smaller fooprint.

The kitchen has four entrances and a window, which made designing it difficult. David explains: “It’s a bit of an awkward shape as it’s almost square but not large enough to accommodate an island. We tried to reimagine the layout of the space, but always re-turned to the basic layout that was already there.” He continues: “We needed to come up with modifications that would make this work. Fitting the dishwasher, large farmhouse sink, under sink garbage and storage all on one side of the kitchen was a challenge.” So, IKD re-envisioned the laundry room and pantry, which were previously dominated by a floor washer and dryer. “Now we have a tight combo and space to fold [laundry] on the counter under the window,” Kim says. “We also keep all our cleaning supplies in the cupboard and tons more storage capacity since we have cupboards on both sides of the space.” To make the space feel less cramped, upper-depth cupboards were added on the side opposite the washing machines. Similarly, the pantry used to be very cramped and inefficient, featuring laundry machines and an old bookshelf. “Now we have half of our food, appliances, our microwave and everything else we occasionally use right beside the kitchen. Since we were able to store the microwave in the cabinet, we’re also able to keep the counter in our kitchen clear. Overall, it means less trips to the basement,” Kim concludes.
