Kitchen Renovation

This kitchen was originally all natural maple cabinets and fit the style of the home. While the natural cabinets were beautiful, they also could be very dark in this smaller kitchen. The homeowner and I agreed, a white kitchen just didn’t make sense in this home. Since the maple cabinets needed an update, we decided to go with the two-toned oyster gray and maple combination (milk n’ honey). By using the oyster on the upper cabinets, we lightened the space up and made it feel MUCH larger by taking it to the ceiling. As far as the footprint of this kitchen, we didn’t change much. We kept the cooktop in the corner and replaced the old microwave/vent hood with a custom hood. Removing the two-tier bar and making it all counter-height made it feel like there are two islands in the space and made the kitchen feel so much more open to the rest of the home.
