Making panels for integrated appliances is no problem at all. Here, the dishwasher and the trash compactor (yes, people still use those!) are integrated so they don't distract from the beauty of the cabinetry.

Looking from the edge of the peninsula towards a built-in display cabinet. This is where client treasures live. Packing in as much storage as possible in this compact home with limited closets.

THE SETUP “You have to figure out how to rebuild a life worth living,” Basia Kozub’s client says. Her husband passed away suddenly three years ago. Holidays with family became more important, and she found herself struggling with a 37-year old kitchen that was falling apart. “I made a decision to move forward,” she says. “I went, ‘You know what? I’m redoing the kitchen.'” The big task of getting started was as easy as having a conversation – literally. Basia was on the job, helping the client sort through priorities, wishes and ideas. Basia’s client is 5′ 4″, likes keeping an eye on the kiddoes in the backyard and wanted certain things to have their own place. THE REMODEL The objectives were: Enlarge and open the space Find a classic look that incorporates blues Upgrade to easy-to-use appliances Hide an office space within the space Ample storage for dishes Design challenges: Uneven window alignment on the back wall Original kitchen smaller than desired, stuctural concerns if walls to be moved Keep folks close – figure out seating for entertaining Main sink in corner is ideal, but windows are hard to reach Lots of storage needed for dishes, glass collection, pantry items, bar bottles and office supplies Specific storage needs for oft-used spices and utensils THE RENEWED SPACE Design solutions: Replace back wall windows, establish window size continuity Take out two walls to open up the space, tall shallow cabinet and a tall filler added to conceal a new header Large island that seats six easily Custom corner sink cabinet with recessed edge allows vertically challenged homeowner to reach the windows Mindful storage planning features: plenty of cabinets, pull-out bar bottle storage, file drawers & cubbies with pocket doors for office appliances, magic corner pullouts, and appliance garages with pocket doors Shelf behind range for easy access to daily-use spices and oils. Also: spice and utensil pullouts on either side of range The clients says every priority and wish box got checked. The highly functional design absorbed everything that used to be in that area of the house, but now those things are out of the way. “In the past, we were all spread out when we gathered for the holidays, because we had to spread out. Now, we’re all in here together, including my 92-year old mother. We’re visiting, cooking, laughing… everyone is here. And I’m really learning how to use these appliances. This kitchen has given me a whole new life.”

Inspiration for a large transitional u-shaped light wood floor kitchen pantry remodel in Other with a farmhouse sink, shaker cabinets, white cabinets, quartz countertops, gray backsplash, glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

We turned this once drab monotone kitchen into a bright modern kitchen with a creative twist. The homeowners wanted to maintain the same footprint but use all new finishes, as well as adding a "wow" factor. New white shaker style cabinets brighten up this kitchen, as well as the bath. Ship-lap inspired custom doors were created for the island. Quartzmaster white countertops were installed throughout the kitchen with an Antique Moss Rain glass 3"x12" backsplash tile, which pulled the whole room together with the contrasting Cityscape (SW 7067) gray walls. The chiseled front farmhouse sink added a cool unique element to this modern kitchen. Design by Hatfield Builders & Remodelers | Photography by Versatile Imaging

Eat-in kitchen - mid-sized contemporary galley medium tone wood floor eat-in kitchen idea in Calgary with an undermount sink, flat-panel cabinets, medium tone wood cabinets, granite countertops, black backsplash, stone slab backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

AFTER We replaced the non-functioning trash compactor with this Kraftmaid auto-open wastebasket. We only have to replace the bag once a week, and it doesn't smell since all food scraps and food items are either recycled or composted. We love the auto-open feature. We bump it with our knee or hand and it opens and closes automatically. Expensive feature, but it is worth it to us, AND it keeps the white door front clean.

In order to help make the stove area the focal point of this kitchen, we designed a custom Wood-Mode red-painted distressed hood that matches the island finish and we changed the door style on the face of the hood to set it apart from the upper beadboard cabinets. The lower cabinet on the right side of the stove has a false front so that it matches the cabinet on the left side of the stove; it is really a trash compactor, not a regular cabinet. In order to make the two cabinets on the right side of the hood of equal size, a small wine rack was inserted between them!
