An Improved Kitchen Layout

The kitchen has been called the ‘Heart of the Home’ in that it brings together families and friends with food and fellowship. Unfortunately, many homes have kitchens that are just too small, closed off, or otherwise lack the functional design needed for more than one person to occupy. Our recent clients faced the same problem – both of them love to cook, and wanted to cook together, but the layout of their kitchen prevented them from enjoying the space together. We solved that problem for them by re-configuring the layout of their kitchen to create a functional, stylish space.

BEFORE: Our clients kitchen was lacking visual appeal and functionality.

BEFORE: As you can see in the ‘before’ photos, their kitchen felt small and was missing out on its full potential due to large soffits taking up space above the cabinets, inconvenient placement of the appliances, a low-hanging vent hood that was an unattractive head-bumper, and outdated Saltillo flooring that was unattractive and hard on the knees.

BEFORE: Once the designs were finalized and approved by our clients, our men got to work removing the old kitchen. Everything from the outdated flooring to the ceiling soffits was removed. Talk about a “full gut” job!

After the old kitchen was gone and the demo was complete, the left over framework got a brand new foundation with a fresh layer of drywall. The space looked infinitely larger, brighter, and well on the road to completion!

Next was the installation and finishing out of the cabinets. The new cabinets went all the way to the ceiling, providing more storage space and making the kitchen look larger.

The cabinets were prepared for the paint.

The clients chose a dark, blue-gray as the cabinet color, which really made a bold statement in their new kitchen.

The finished kitchen is bold, stylish, and most importantly, functional. Both of our clients can now enjoy each other’s company and cook in the kitchen within their own workspace. The remodeled kitchen looks great, functions great, and acts as the true “Heart of the Home!
