Full Kitchen remodel with new Butler's Pantry, Breakfast Area and hidden storage.
This cramped/hot featureless kitchen transformed into a joyful eatery with a sunny disposition where these avid cooks could fall in love with food once again. By absorbing the outdoor porch and relocating the outside a/c units as well as relocating the pantry and utility room, this allowed this 1920 dis-functional kitchen to be brought into this century.
By absorbing the outdoor porch and relocating the outside a/c units, an additional 70 sf were added. Under the breakfast bench are drawers for dog supplies conveniently located by the back door. One major challenge was storage and since we didn’t want to lose any windows, we couldn’t add many upper cabinets. So, we created an extra wide island with shallow storage underneath flanking both sides.
The pedestal of the island houses ample storage for serving pieces as well as spices on one side and liquor on the other. The walkway between the Butler’s area and Dining was opened up and all appliances were relocated. All lighting was replaced with LED, “street-light” style fixtures were used over the windows instead of cans and clear pendants float over the island.
Shaved metal/acrylic counter is showcased a-top white shaker style cabinets. Extra wide island allows for sink and storage on one side while the wine cooler and ice maker face butler's pantry on opposite side. Industrial pendants hang above each window and are complimented by the clear glass pendants above the island.
Gorgeous stained pantry doors with painted porcelain pulls from the client's travels abroad.
