Chef’s Fantasy Kitchen + Laundry Room
C&R redesigned and remodeled this 70’s kitchen with new cabinets, counter tops, tile backsplash, appliances, and more. Walls were removed, windows relocated, and every element updated to create atop-of-the-line fantasy kitchen.
When the owners purchased this house, they knew it needed major remodeling.Most annoying was the sequestered kitchen and nook, separated from the dining and living room with several unnecessary walls. The dated decor screamed the70’s, including a fluorescent dropped ceiling. The cramped space had only small, basic appliances. Storage and natural light were also at a minimum.
C&R was tasked with a complete redesign and remodel of the kitchen and adjacent laundry room. The first step was to create a design that took advantage of the existing square footage. By removing walls and relocating windows, the new design included not only one but two massive islands—one as a ‘working island’ and the other as a ‘dining island’. With abundant cabinetry throughout, storage was expanded exponentially, making it possible to forego upper cabinets on one wall. This allowed for a full-height tile backsplash, making a stunning backdrop for the custom range hood.
Professional grade appliances installed included Wolf gas range and refrigerator, under-counter microwave, a beverage refrigerator, and a built-in coffee maker.
The decor is timeless yet current with a mix of colors that creates instant interest. The perimeter cabinetry and dining island are painted in a subtle gray while the eating island is stained with a striking Walnut finish. Contrasting counter tops in Quartz and Black Walnut and a wall of Venetial Vintage tile make a dramatic statement. Upscale fixtures and large windows provide a pleasing combination of natural, ambient, task, and accent lighting.
The owners say their new kitchen is absolutely fantastic and that “C&R is amazing, especially the way they listened and brought the vision to life!”
