This 1994 home in Carnation WA has been updated with bright and bold beautiful colors. The transformation of this space included removing walls to open up the flow of the home but still maintaining unique spaces with fabulous custom dividers. The new family room is where the dining room used to be and what was once the family room is now a game room for the whole family to enjoy.

Kitchen - eclectic kitchen idea in Los Angeles

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   Our clients came to us looking to do some updates to their new condo unit primarily in the kitchen and living room. The couple has a lifelong love of Arts and Crafts and Modernism, and are the co-founders of PrairieMod, an online retailer that offers timeless modern lifestyle through American made, handcrafted, and exclusively designed products. So, having such a design savvy client was super exciting for us, especially since the couple had many unique pieces of pottery and furniture to provide inspiration for the design. The condo is a large, sunny top floor unit, with a large open feel. The existing kitchen was a peninsula which housed the sink, and they wanted to change that out to an island, relocating the new sink there as well. This can sometimes be tricky with all the plumbing for the building potentially running up through one stack. After consulting with our contractor team, it was determined that our plan would likely work and after confirmation at demo, we pushed on. The new kitchen is a simple L-shaped space, featuring several storage devices for trash, trays dividers and roll out shelving. To keep the budget in check, we used semi-custom cabinetry, but added custom details including a shiplap hood with white oak detail that plays off the oak “X” endcaps at the island, as well as some of the couple’s existing white oak furniture. We also mixed metals with gold hardware and plumbing and matte black lighting that plays well with the unique black herringbone backsplash and metal barstools. New weathered oak flooring throughout the unit provides a nice soft backdrop for all the updates. We wanted to take the cabinets to the ceiling to obtain as much storage as possible, but an angled soffit on two of the walls provided a bit of a challenge. We asked our carpenter to field modify a few of the wall cabinets where necessary and now the space is truly custom. Part of the project also included a new fireplace design including a custom mantle that houses a built-in sound bar and a Panasonic Frame TV, that doubles as hanging artwork when not in use. The TV is mounted flush to the wall, and there are different finishes for the frame available. The TV can display works of art or family photos while not in use. We repeated the black herringbone tile for the fireplace surround here and installed bookshelves on either side for storage and media components.

I assisted the homeowners with all of their material and fixture choices while employed at Corvallis Custom Kitchens and Baths. This mid-century modern home had a closed off and dated kitchen when our clients purchased this home. The homeowners wanted to open up the kitchen to the living room and dining room and remove the galley kitchen. They love mid-century modern styling and chose cabinetry to match the existing original cabinetry. We updated the pulls to add some clean, modern flair to the simple cabinetry. The unique ceiling-mounted vent hood kept the view into the living room unobstructed. To complete the transformation, LVT flooring from Karndean was installed in the kitchen, dining area and living room.
