This kitchen already had plenty of space, but a few key design choices kept it from reaching its full potential. By opening up the room, rethinking underused areas, and updating the finishes, we created a kitchen that feels brighter, more connected, and made for gathering.
The Challenge
Cabinetry separated the kitchen from the dining area, while an oversized desk took up valuable space.
The Plan
We removed the dividing cabinetry, replaced the desk with a wine and beverage center, and added a larger island for seating and gathering.
The Transformation
Light finishes brighten the room, while the dark island and wine center add warmth and contrast. The kitchen now feels open and connected.
The SMART Remodel
We kept the overall layout of the original kitchen. Focusing on the elements that mattered most created a more functional space without changing everything.
