The small eat - in kitchen was designed with functionality in mind. The clients needed as much counter space as possible for cooking and prepping, as well as a dedicated spot for their many cookbooks. Soda Glass panels were used for the backsplash. The clients are able to write down recipes, weekly meal schedules and notes on the glass backsplash - making for a truly functional and personal kitchen. The extendable dining table was purchased to cater to their growing family. Treve Johnson Photography

This small and narrow kitchen design focused on maximizing storage and infusing charm to create a functional space tailored for the couple’s busy hosting lifestyle. Despite its size, the kitchen boasts smart functionality and thoughtful features that elevate its appeal. Appliances were strategically relocated to ensure the best possible workflow.

Client Objectives The homeowner wanted to improve the functionality of an existing galley kitchen that felt cramped and inefficient. The refrigerator occupied valuable circulation space, limiting movement and workflow while cooking. Additional goals included increasing storage, incorporating a dedicated coffee station, maximizing organization, and creating a more efficient layout without sacrificing the character of the home. Our Solution We developed a kitchen redesign focused on improving circulation, storage, and usability. By relocating the refrigerator and exploring custom built-in solutions, the layout creates a more open and functional workspace. Dedicated storage features like, open shelving and more cabinetry, help keep countertops clutter-free while supporting the homeowner’s daily routines. Special Features Relocated refrigerator for improved traffic flow, coffee bar area, expanded storage solutions, drawer-focused cabinetry, updated cabinetry, and improved organization throughout the kitchen.

Open white shelving lines this narrow pantry, with wood shelves across the back wall. A built-in microwave and lower cabinets sit beneath the counter, while a geometric lantern hangs overhead.

Today's pantries are functional and gorgeous! Our custom pantry creates ample space for every day appliances to be kept out of sight, with easy access to bins and storage containers. Undercounter LED lighting allows for easy night-time use as well.

Kiel's woodworking talents are in full effect in the kitchen. Rather than incorporate pre-fabricated cabinets into the newly rebuilt space, he decided to build them himself, affording the home the custom work that it so deserves. "It didn't make sense to put in the same fiberboard cabinetry that was there before", he confesses. Part of the plan called for open shelving up top to show off Chelsea's colorful plate collection. "One of the perks of being married to a wood worker", Chelsea jokes, "is having an entire kitchen worth of cabinets for the cost of wood and paint!" The couple outfitted the antique sink with a modern spray fixture from IKEA. The enameled cast iron sink was not only a steal at $25, but it is certainly made to last. "Often we buy older pieces which have been around for 50+ years because we know that if they have survived this long they will likely survive another 50", she says.

My clients purchased a grand home on a spectacular waterfront setting, but the interior felt dark and drab. Our challenge was to turn the existing home into a high end Hampton-style residence without major construction. We choose to focus on color, contrast and texture, changing almost every surface in the home and reversing the contrast to make the home light and airy. We invested the construction expense on elements crucial to style and function. Removing a row of out of scale upper cabinetry in the kitchen and replacing it with 3 double hung windows expands the view to 180 degrees and floods the room with light. To create symmetry and balance in the kitchen, we moved the cooktop and centered the sink. The wine cellar entry opened awkwardly into the kitchen and there was no pantry, so we modified the wine cellar and moved the door for better flow, allowing for a large pantry. On the opposite end of the great room, we balanced the fireplace with cabinetry and tall wainscoting. The floors were stained dark espresso while all other trim and cabinetry went a bright white. It took 14 tries to get the perfect wall color – a pale beige/color reminiscent of sand. The blue and white furniture and details pull the entire space together and creates a sophisticated yet casual feel. Photos by Steve Armstrong www.cascadepromedia.com
