Our clients came to us in 2020, realizing that the shift to at-home life had accelerated their need for a kitchen remodel. As a busy family who loved to cook, their existing layout felt more like an obstacle course than a workspace. A dog-leg island disrupted the flow, and a matching soffit overhead further lowered the room’s feel.
In the newly transformed space, function and ease for multiple cooks take the lead. A peninsula-style island with seating and relocating the range to the former pantry wall dramatically opens the kitchen. Removing the soffits increases ceiling height, adds storage, and lets the dining room’s beautiful ceiling detail take center stage.
Thoughtful features including pull-out corner hardware, spice organization and knife storage, are tucked throughout. The mix of stained and painted cabinetry brightens the room while honoring the home’s original character. The result is a balanced, welcoming kitchen ready to serve the family for years to come.
