This kitchen was a lot of fun to work on partly because the “Before” space was so dramatically different from the new design.  Every stage in the project felt fresh and exciting because of the changes happening in the space.

Before outside deck
Here’s a before photo looking towards where Tubs is sitting in the above photo. You can see the flat ceiling and soffit that was torn out to expose the lines of the shed roof along with numerous other changes!

Here’s another before photo showing the built-in booth and soffit we got rid of to make more room for countertops and cabinets. We added stone to the column in the photo as well as other areas around the home.  The clients now use their beautiful dining room every day!

Shifting things around slightly, creating an interesting ceiling plane, and adding texture with stone and wood changed the entire feel of this kitchen. Materials are simple and classic: alder wood cabinets, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash.  Wall color is Edgecomb Gray HC-173 by Benjamin Moore.
