These homeowners originally approached us for a dual-bathroom remodel. However, once we sat down with them and went through the discovery process of asking key questions, we uncovered that a kitchen was the priority. Sometimes clients dream bigger than their budgets can afford. Well, actually, they always do, but hey, nothing wrong with being an optimist, right? They wanted a more modern, useful kitchen without a 90's desk, which draws clutter like flies to honey. We redesigned that space specifically for more useful storage and solved their design dilemma regarding different color schemes by offering a 3 tone solution. In the right light, the upper cabinets and lower cabinets have a slightly different shade, the lower being more grey tone. And obviously, the island is a bright blue.

This timeless transitional kitchen blends classic design with modern functionality. White shaker perimeter cabinets are paired with Cambria Gladstone quartz countertops and a full-height backsplash for a seamless, polished look. A contrasting black shaker island seats three and is topped with the same quartz, anchoring the space with elegance and practicality. Key features include a large wood-scooped custom vent hood over a 48" Wolf range, a 36" Thermador refrigerator, and full-height cabinetry for maximum storage. A hidden microwave behind a lift-up appliance garage keeps counters clutter-free, while thoughtful storage—like a 12" spice pull-out, lazy Susan, trash pull-out, and deep 36" drawers with custom organizers—maximizes efficiency. The brushed brass Top Knobs hardware adds warmth and contrast against the cabinetry, complemented by a matte black Kohler Crue faucet and black Blanco undermount sink. Light wood flooring and floating shelves soften the space, while a large window floods the kitchen with natural light—eliminating the need for pendant lighting over the island and maintaining clean sightlines. A perfect balance of beauty and function, this kitchen was designed for modern living with timeless appeal.
