In this kitchen renovation, the client wanted to refocus a
well-loved kitchen area into a space that was more open for
the couples’ modern needs. As near empty nesters, a space
that had previously served the family well, needed a new
life and focus on entertaining guests.
The removal of a structural wall, lowering of a raised
bar and knee wall, and brighter finishes took the kitchen
from small and cozy to bright and welcoming. The more
open plan allowed for a large central island to become the
star of the kitchen with Calacatta Quartz lending a clean,
classic look. Coordinating gray quartz on the perimeter
and marble water-jet tiles over the cooktop bring in the
on-trend aspects of current kitchen design without looking
overly-trendy. A splash of cool color brightens up the break-
fast nook, while the coordinating lighting keeps the space
unified. The new space feels both elegant and inviting.
