Lacking quality, warmth,
and character, the previous kitchen was in need of a renovation. The
general layout was suitable, but the style and quality of the cabinetry
and appliances did not meet the client’s standards or taste. The white
cabinetry was replaced with stained maple cabinets, and the wall
cabinets were extended to the ceiling. The inlay cabinet doors, rope
molding, crown molding, end panels and furniture feet all add a level of
detail that reflects the quality the clients desired. The countertops
were replaced with granite, the appliances were all replaced and the
island was made into one level. The storage solutions in this project
make it even more special. There is a utensil storage cabinet, pullout
drawers in the pantry, wood dividers in the large drawers by the range
and metal tray dividers in the base cabinets by the refrigerator. With
the design changes and some wonderful detailing, they were able to
transform this mediocre kitchen into a perfectly customized space of the
highest quality.
