Cottage l-shaped medium tone wood floor kitchen photo in Boston with a farmhouse sink, shaker cabinets, white cabinets, paneled appliances and an island

This beautifully designed transitional kitchen remodel blends the timeless appeal of shaker cabinets with the elegance of a quartzite island. Brass hardware, a farmhouse sink, and a custom range hood add character, while panel-ready appliances and a full-height tile backsplash keep the look polished. The open plan layout and natural wood accents create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Pendant lighting and light wood flooring complete the bright, airy feel, while a central island with seating provides ample prep space and a casual gathering spot—making this kitchen both functional and welcoming for everyday living.

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   The homeowners of this mid-century Colonial and family of four were frustrated with the layout of their existing kitchen which was a small, narrow peninsula layout but that was adjoining a large space that they could not figure out how to use. Stealing part of the unused space seemed like an easy solution, except that there was an existing transition in floor height which made that a bit tricky. The solution of bringing the floor height up to meet the height of the existing kitchen allowed us to do just that. This solution also offered some challenges. The exterior door had to be raised which resulted in some exterior rework, and the floor transition had to happen somewhere to get out to the garage, so we ended up “pushing” it towards what is now a new mudroom and powder room area. This solution allows for a small but functional and hidden mudroom area and more private powder room situation. Another challenge of the design was the very narrow space. To minimize issues with this, we moved the location of the refrigerator into the newly found space which gave us an L-shaped layout allowing for an island and even some shallow pantry storage. The windows over the kitchen sink were expanded in size and relocated to allow more light into the room. A breakfast table fits perfectly in the area adjacent to the existing French doors and there was even room for a small bar area that helps transition from inside to outside for entertaining. The confusing unused space now makes sense and provides functionality on a daily basis. To help bring some calm to this busy family, a pallet of soft neutrals was chosen -- gray glass tile with a simple metal accent strip, clear modern pendant lights and a neutral color scheme for cabinetry and countertops.
