The view from the dining room. We looked at several options to make this relatively tight space both functional and spacious. The wife, who is a chef and meticulously organized, had this to say about 3 Lights Design's attention to detail, "I'm so impressed how you heard all the little silly things I was saying and got it into a picture!!!" For us, the "silly little things" are everything. That's how the project's name was born. All photos by Thomas Kuoh Photography.

Inspiration for a large timeless l-shaped ceramic tile eat-in kitchen remodel in San Francisco with raised-panel cabinets, beige backsplash, an undermount sink, medium tone wood cabinets, granite countertops, ceramic backsplash, paneled appliances and an island

Designed by Kasey Blake of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Salem, VA in collaboration with Jeff Jennings of L.F. Jennings Inc., this small transitional style kitchen with an open feel features Ultracraft Cabinetry in two door styles and finishes. The perimeter kitchen cabinets are the Kitty Hawk door style in Argent Oak with a Textured Melamine finish, complemented by island cabinets featuring the Shaker door style in the Balboa Mist finish. Kitchen countertops are marble in the color Ocean Storm and the tile backsplash is NY2LA 3-3/4"x12" Brentwood Beige. For Kasey, it was exciting working with the clients to help their vision come to life. “We combined the kitchen and dining room to make a spacious kitchen that functions much better for them and has significantly more countertop space.” “My favorite thing about the kitchen is that it has opened up!” said the client. “Working with Kasey was awesome. I had a good idea of what I wanted and some sales reps kept trying to push their idea on me. Kasey actually listened and implemented my instructions the way I intended!” Photos courtesy of Sowder Group LLC.

This open and spacious kitchen features white cabinetry and granite countertops. The kitchen was expanded to utilize untapped space, bringing the kitchen and living room together. The cooking and preparation area flows to a galley that is home to a beverage center, glass china display cabinetry and added space for storage. This area doubles as a great buffet space for entertaining with its vast countertop area.
