Story

The homeowner hated their dated kitchen, needed much more storage and after years of "putting up with it" they finally have a dream come true. The main design challenge was working within the same footprint but adding in wall ovens and increasing storage in a tight footprint. We used Conestoga custom cabinetry, utilized stack on cabinetry to the ceiling with beautiful decorative glass and LED lights in the stack on uppers. We changed the window over the sink into a pass-through to the new sunroom to let in natural light. We also updated all the lighting including LED cans, very cool island pendants that cast patterns on the ceiling, and LED under cabinet lighting. We changed to a gas cooktop (which they always wanted), added a built-in hood, wall oven cabinets and a cabinet pantry with roll-outs used for appliances and storage. The homeowners' favorite features are the abundance of space-saving organizers. Now all her spices, appliances, pots and pans all have a home. All the overflow from the old desk catch-all is now smartly hidden in an organizer on the end of the pantry or in the built-in cabinets we made in a knee wall in the breakfast nook. We accented the stained cabinets with Typhoon Bordeaux granite, a stainless steel farm sink, and an arabesque ceramic tile backsplash.
