A Portland family takes down walls to bring more light and openness to a once cramped and cluttered kitchen

New design and build project photos from a remodel in the Sellwood Neighborhood!

Designer + Contractor: The Jack + Mare | design & build

1.) Demo, design and rebuild kitchen and dining room.
2.) New Paint, new flooring and/or refinish for the entire 1st floor.

The Jack + Mare designed and built this custom kitchen and dining remodel for a family in Portland's Sellwood Westmoreland Neighborhood.

The wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed to create an inviting and flowing space with custom details in all directions. The custom maple dining table was locally milled and crafted from a tree that had previously fallen in Portland's Laurelhurst neighborhood; and the built-in L-shaped maple banquette provides unique comfortable seating with drawer storage beneath. The integrated kitchen and dining room has become the social hub of the house – the table can comfortably sit up to 10 people!

Being that the kitchen is visible from the dining room, the refrigerator and dishwasher are hidden behind cabinet door fronts that seamlessly tie-in with the surrounding cabinetry creating a warm and inviting space.

The end result is a highly functional kitchen for the chef and a comfortable and practical space for family and friends.

Details: custom cabinets (designed by The J+M) with shaker door fronts, a baker's pantry, built-in banquette with integrated storage, custom local silver maple table, solid oak flooring to match original 1925 flooring, white ceramic tile backsplash, new lighting plan featuring a Cedar + Moss pendant, all L.E.D. can lights, Carrara marble countertops, new larger windows to bring in more natural light and new trim.

Boulevard Remodel - before - by The Jack + Mare | Portland Design & Build

When the homeowners first contacted us about their 1926 home, they stated "We want to make better use of the space and open it up a little. This seems right up your alley."

That's right...we live on that alley, we love that alley! Terah Beth designed a few schemes ranging from leaving all walls in place to removing all walls that separated the dining, living, and the back nook from the kitchen. The clients decided to go big and knock 'em all down... they went big and stayed home! Beating the system, man. ha.

This 'open concept' scheme created an airy and zen-like space filled with beautiful custom cabinetry, crown moulding original to the house, with walnut accents including a huge peninsula countertop, floating shelves and a range hood accent band. The walnut was sourced and crafted from a local fallen tree. So Crafty!
