Kitchen - mid-sized transitional kitchen idea in Seattle

Our clients have lived in this 1985 North Dallas home for almost 10 years, and it was time for a change. They had to decide whether to move or give the home an update. They were in a small quiet neighborhood tucked away near the popular suburb of Addison and also near the beautiful Celestial Park. Their backyard was like a hidden paradise, which is hard to find in Dallas, so they decided to update the two primary areas that needed it: the kitchen and the master bathroom. The kitchen had a black and white retro checkerboard tile floor, and the bathroom was very Tuscan. There were no cabinets on the main wall in the kitchen before. They were lacking space and functionality and desperately needed a complete overhaul in their kitchen. There were two entryways leading into the kitchen from the foyer, so one was closed off and the island was eliminated, giving them space for an entire wall of cabinets. The cabinets along this back kitchen wall were finished with a gorgeous River Rock stain. The cabinets on the other side of the kitchen were painted Polar, creating a seamless flow into the living room and creating a one-of-a-kind kitchen! Large 24x36 Elysium Tekali crema polished porcelain tiles created a simple, yet unique kitchen floor. The beautiful Levantina quartzite countertops pulled it all together and everything from the pop-up outlets in the countertops to the roll-up doors on the pantry cabinets, to the pull-out appliance shelves, makes this kitchen super functional and updated!

Designed by Marc Jean-Michel of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Bethesda, MD in collaboration with Suzanne Wasser Interiors, this transitional kitchen design features Green Forest Cabinetry in the painted white Park Place shaker door style. The kitchen countertops are Reliance Quartz Calacatta Laza. The kitchen includes GE appliances and a Claros Silver Honed Amalfi tile backsplash from The Tile Shop. “I love the space,” said the client. The cabinets with pull out drawers are amazing for storing cookware and appliances. I love the shelves are easily adjustable. Marc worked closely with my designer Suzanne to make sure the process went as smoothly as possible.” Photos courtesy of BTW Images LLC.

The unconventional shape added to the challenge of creating an efficient work space with plenty of storage capacity, preparation areas and modern appliance size, We handcrafted the island on wheels for maximum versatility, and used every available nook and cranny for bespoke drawer and cupboard space. The soft blue colour adds a restful charm to this small but beautifully functional kitchen. Photos by Fraser Marr
