Bright Bamboo Kitchen
Our clients were relocating to the Pacific Northwest from southern California and needed to update what was going to be their new home. For this project we remodeled their existing closed in, dark and dated kitchen. We took down all upper cabinetry over the peninsula areas to open up the kitchen to the living room. To brighten up the kitchen area the client chose bamboo flat panel cabinetry and added vecchio glass to the upper cabinets. Costa Esmeralda granite was chosen for the countertops and curved backsplash behind the faucet. Coordinating architectural gray subway tiles with a craftsman inspired liner tile was added to the backsplash. Pratt & Larson completed a custom tile focal point for over the range. Our clients had custom designed pendants made with pops of color to add some interest to the lighting over the peninsulas. To house the clients wine fridge and to address their need for shelving for cookbook storage, we designed an area across from the entry to the kitchen for their needs. LED ceiling mounted lighting was added on dimmer switches to add additional light. A pass through to the dining room was enhanced with an arched valance on the bottom of the cabinet over the opening. This once dark and closed in kitchen, is now open, airy and modern.
