When she moved into the old Victorian everything was perfect - except she felt the kitchen was much too masculine for her taste. She knew that white cabinetry and a pop of color on a level island would bring the space up to her standards. With budget in mind, she opted for simple shaker cabinets on the sink wall by Waypoint Living Spaces and then splurged for custom painted cabinets for the island in Sherwin Williams "Tradewind" by Urban Effects cabinetry. The countertops in "Oceana" by Arizona Tile perfectly reflect the beachy sea glass hue of the island and walls. She further stretched her budget by re-using the oven and cooktop and found a white refrigerator that was just right for her lifestyle. Demolition and Installation by Kitchen Studio of Monterey took about five days. Countertop fabrication and installation by Corner Stone Coverings. Photography by Dave Clark Photography.

Builder's bulkheads... were a cheap simple way for home builders of years past (hopefully past) to cut costs and streamline projects, but cast away key elements such as functionality and aesthetics. Removing them...can be very complex...but extremely rewarding. Plumbing, structural, electrical and hvac components can lie hidden behind causing all manner of challenges. All worth it...wouldn't you agree?

To achieve the open, modern take on Midcentury that our clients desired, we took down upper cabinets over the peninsula, which opened the spaces up to each other. In doing so we creating a storage area for wine and a long countertop for entertaining or setting up a buffet during parties. What had been wasted space to the right of the walkway is now the pantry, with deep storage cabinets. Distinctive Kitchens was brought in to help choose finishes--tile backsplash and floors, sink, faucet, lighting, countertops and cabinet hardware. The adjacent dining room was also part of the design, because the rooms have such a strong relationship to each other. We consulted on furniture and lighting in that room, making sure the two light fixtures (one over the sink, the other over the dining table) didn't compete for attention. We feel the end result is fresh, clean, and texturally beautiful. Kitchen and dining room staging by Allison Scheff of Distinctive Kitchens. Photos by Wynne H Earle
