We’re kicking off 2021 with a project that we completed a couple years ago and recently revised. Back then, we conducted a Tuscan exorcism in our client’s legacy kitchen that included new backsplash, countertops, lighting, wall repair, and refinished cabinetry. Our kitchen advice: never go full Tuscan. Or full French Provincial. Or full thematic anything. It’s a kitchen, not Disneyland.
A view of the new merger between kitchen and former dining room. We removed the dividing wall between the two rooms and installed new lighting for a bright and integrated connection.
The old dining room, before removing the wall separating it from the kitchen. Joining the two rooms and replacing the crystal chandelier created a less formal floor plan for this family and their guests.
The former kitchen was separated from the dining room. A butcher block top on the island did not accommodate seating.
A new large island increases the prep space in the kitchen and allows for easy entertaining as well as casual dining. It also became the home for the new Thermador ovens.
Easy does it. Six men were needed to install the single slab of quartz with a mitered edge for the island top.
A pic to remember the second largest slab they have installed and illustrate the 10’ x 6’ slab dimensions of the new island.
The finished island with a pair of Thermador ovens. The oven on the left has full steam cooking capabilities, an increasingly popular feature for preparing healthy meals.
Another view of the kitchen and dining connection with a new prep sink in the island.
Custom white oak range hood and floating shelves were installed as part of this update. Shout out to the multi-talented principal of Jordan Scott Photography for quick work in capturing these improvements. Jordan is an accomplished artist, photographer, and more.
Sometimes a project evolves over the years, and this is a good example of making changes at the right time to meet new requirements. There’s nothing wrong with multi-year plans, and we routinely help our clients chart the course. We’re thrilled to know these updates are enjoyed every day by this lovely family!
