Kitchen Transformation Made Simple
KITCHEN BEFORE
KITCHEN AFTER
Upon entering this existing kitchen I felt as though Mike and Carol Brady had asked me over to update their kitchen. Many interior details illustrated a ‘Brady’ décor: wood spindles dividing the rooms, chunky stone work around the fireplace, oak cabinetry dividing the breakfast rooms from the kitchen, an, of course, floral wallpaper! When I began to draw a floorplan of the existing conditions, I realized that the square footage of the breakfast room was almost EQUAL to the kitchen. I had to create a secondary space for the homeowner to use that would absorb some of the square footage in this oversized breakfast room. A built-in hutch area was just the answer! However, the client was budget sensitive. We used an inexpensive cabinet line but added thoughtful details to all of the cabinetry that created harmony between the rooms. Like most homeowners, the client really wanted an island. However, due to the limited overall size of the kitchen, an island was going to be difficult. We compromised by creating a visually light furniture-type island. This allowed the circulation to be ergonomically correct while adding the ever popular island for future resale value. Additionally by eliminating the soffits and existing peninsula the room instantly looked larger. Finishes were selected that gave a transitional look to the kitchen. The color palette is simple, elegant and well refined. What an amazing transformation of space!
