The renovated kitchen has a bright and airy look,
complemented by the natural wood floors.

By contrast, the original kitchen was darker, with an old vinyl floor that obscured the attractive floor beneath.

Warmer coloring makes for a warmer and more inviting room.

GRAND AWARD

This job was for a prominent Washington couple that wanted to make an average apartment kitchen into a more joyful and inviting space.

The clients’ requirements & needs were:

1) Tight time frame. Due to the customer’s wife’s serious health considerations we worked efficiently to complete this project in four weeks, instead of what would usually take five to six weeks.

2) Lighting was a primary consideration. Ten carefully positioned recessed lights on a 1000-watt dimmer replaced one florescent ceiling light source. 700 watts of low voltage under-cabinet lighting was installed to thoroughly illuminate counter spaces. In-cabinet lights were fitted in two large glass cabinets to add cheer and accentuate fine glass-wear.

3) High-gloss, white shaker-style cabinets were selected along with a white tile backsplash, white bedboard under the windows, and Giallo Antico stone counters and flooring to recreate a specific look the owners had admired in a kitchen design magazine.
