This creative transitional space was transformed from a very dated layout that did not function well for our homeowners - who enjoy cooking for both their family and friends. They found themselves cooking on a 30" by 36" tiny island in an area that had much more potential. A completely new floor plan was in order. An unnecessary hallway was removed to create additional space and a new traffic pattern. New doorways were created for access from the garage and to the laundry. Just a couple of highlights in this all Thermador appliance professional kitchen are the 10 ft island with two dishwashers (also note the heated tile area on the functional side of the island), double floor to ceiling pull-out pantries flanking the refrigerator, stylish soffited area at the range complete with burnished steel, niches and shelving for storage. Contemporary organic pendants add another unique texture to this beautiful, welcoming, one of a kind kitchen! Photos by David Cobb Photography.

Doug and Chris already had a nice kitchen, but they wanted a spectacular kitchen. And unlike many clients that want something completely different, they wanted to expand upon what they already loved. The result was a beautiful and functional kitchen that reflected their love of Tuscan charm and organization. Their original flooring and color scheme were to remain but everything else would be improved upon. The appliances were all upgraded and a microwave drawer, induction cooktop, and warming drawer were added. The island with its stunning wood top and custom painted cabinets became a focal point of the kitchen. It also echoed the color and style of the dining room furniture that Chris loved. Decorative moldings, carved legs, open shelves, a wine rack and staggered cabinetry were just a few of the added details. The crowning jewels were the see-through pendant lights, that Chris found, and the travertine splash with custom decorative niche for oils and accessories and the “sparkly” granite tops. What can’t be seen in the pictures is the re-shaped soffits (to match the cabinetry below), all the inner cabinet accessories and the wall that was removed making way for a wrap-around design at the bar. Old world charm and finishes might have inspired this kitchen, but new age function and technology take this kitchen into the future with ease. Photo Credit: Alicia Villarreal

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   Starting out with a project that has good bones is always a bonus as was the case with the project. This young family has a great house on a great street in a great location. The kitchen was a large space with ample room and great view to the backyard. The dated cabinets and large peninsula layout however were not working for them, so they came in looking for a fresh start. Goals for the project included adding a large island with seating for four and a bright, open and cheerful space for daily meals and entertaining. Our clients also wanted to keep the existing breakfast table, but the original space did not allow for an island and breakfast table. Our solution was to create banquette seating which gave us the extra inches necessary to accomplish both. The larger awning window over the kitchen sink allows for ample light in the new space. The wall between the kitchen and family room was partially removed to provide the more open feeling our clients desired. The work triangle is centered on the island which serves as a big open prep space conveniently located across from the large pro style range. The island also houses the microwave and a 2nd oven for larger gatherings. A new counter depth fridge and beverage center provide options for refrigeration. A simple pallet of white cabinetry, Carrera marble countertops and polished nickel fixtures will be a timeless look and provide a lovely backdrop for entertaining and spending time with family.
