The original construction of our client’s house called for a formal dining area and a smaller kitchen not conducive to entertaining. As a fault of the space, one of the primary goals of this renovation project was to create a free flowing floor plan that utilizes maximum cabinet and countertop space. We removed the wall separating the dining room and kitchen to allow for an enlarged footprint for the kitchen remodel. The kitchen’s 15 x 18 foot space, flows gracefully into the family room and extends into a breakfast area overlooking the backyard.

Rainforest Brown Granite is a stunning, dramatic granite with varying shades of brown and gray. It is quarried in Rajasthan, India. These homeowners wanted a stone that would add an exotic element to their cozy, suburban 60's home. Throughout their home they had Japanese decorations from time spent living there. You can see the influences of the Japanese design aesthetic in the clean simple lines of the kitchen and dark cabinets and shadows. They balanced out the exuberant Rainforest Brown Granite with streamlined cabinetry and appliances. We used angular lines and a quiet half-bullnose edge on the granite to tie the cabinets and granite together. The granite full backsplash is bookmatched, which means the pattern runs across the decks (horizontals) and up the wall. Because Rainforest Brown Granite varies a great deal from month to month and slab to slab, make sure to choose your exact slab before you fabricator cuts it.

This new kitchen took the place of the old dining room and provided much better work space for homeowners who love to cook and entertain. To maintain the existing footprint of the old dining room and now new kitchen, a large walk-in pantry was created in an adjoining space so that ample storage would be easily accessible. The kitchen’s working fireplace is a nod to its original function of the dining room, but adds to the comfortable, vintage feel of the kitchen.
