The goal was to design two separate areas that work together to create function and flow for this high traffic area. The updated laundry room offers fresh lines, easy to maintain granite counter tops, and multiple built-in folding areas. Photo Credit: Whonsetler Photography

Kitchen - transitional kitchen idea in Los Angeles

This Spool was designed to fit into a small backyard without taking up the majority of the space. At 5,700 gallons it is the perfect size. We shut down a lane of traffic and craned in locally sourced boulders and field stone from the DC Ranch development. Details include a custom lounge bench finished with river rock, spa jets in the bench and in the shallow area and travertine water line tile. We used Pentair equipment, Intellitouch control system, paramount PV3 in-floor system, and Pebble Sheen interior finish.

The back terrace was created out of flagstone. It is installed closer together in the higher traffic areas, fanning out and morphing into Tennessee river gravel in the less travelled areas.

While having the reading area was paramount to the couple it was also important to them that the space not feel too crowded and had easy foot traffic flow.

The remodel took traffic flow and appliance placement into consideration. The refrigerator was relocated to an area closer to the sink and out of the flow of traffic. Recessed lighting and under-cabinet lighting now flood the kitchen with warm light. The closet pantry and a half wall between the family room and kitchen were removed and a peninsular with seating area was added to provide a large work surface, storage on both sides and shelving with baskets to store homework, craft items and books. Opening this area up provided a welcoming spot for friends and family to gather when entertaining. The microwave was placed at a height that was safe and convenient for the whole family. Cabinets taken to the ceiling, large drawers, pantry roll-outs and a corner lazy susan have helped make this kitchen a pleasure to gather as a family.

The peninsula island does triple duty as a meal prep area, seating area, as well as a serving area when entertaining guests. Another great view of the yellow tiger granite we used on the counters here. One of our client's goals in this renovation was to eliminate traffic jams in the kitchen. This photo also does a wonderful job of showcasing how we strategically placed the refrigerator in a location that would not impede traffic flow.
