THE KITCHEN THEY THOUGHT COULDN'T BE SAVED
The homeowner thought their tiny 1950s kitchen was beyond saving. Challenge accepted.
What started as a closed-off, cramped space with limited storage, minimal counter space, a bulky water heater closet, and a laundry setup squeezed into the hallway became one of our favorite transformations.
The first move? Opening the kitchen to the family room, dining room, and den to create a brighter, more connected living space. We removed walls, expanded openings, relocated the water heater to the garage, and reclaimed valuable square footage for cabinetry and storage.
With the added storage, every small appliance found a home in the pantry, leaving the countertops clean and clutter-free.
One of the biggest design puzzles was the island. Every inch mattered. After careful planning and precise calculations, we created the perfect-sized seating island that maximized function without sacrificing flow or visual balance.
To top it all off, the homeowner requested a custom green finish for the island and range hood. Our team color-matched the shade perfectly, creating a beautiful focal point that brings personality and charm to the space.
From thoughtful design to meticulous craftsmanship, every detail was carefully considered. And hearing the homeowner say, “I love my new kitchen!” made every step worth it.
