Extending Islands: Where Form Meets Function
Introduction
As a seasoned remodeler at Kitchen Tune-Up Columbus, our team relishes the opportunity to breathe new life into tired kitchens. Our recent project in Westerville, Ohio was nothing short of inspiring. Let’s take you behind the scenes of this remarkable transformation.
The Challenge: A Stale Kitchen Yearning for Change
Our client, a Westerville homeowner, had grown weary of her dated kitchen. The stained cabinets no longer sparked joy, and she craved a fresh, modern look. Her island, while functional, lacked the visual impact she desired. Our mission was clear: reimagine this space and create a kitchen that would delight and serve its purpose.
The Solution: A Symphony of Refacing and Custom Features
1. Cabinet Refacing: A Clever Twist on Tradition
Cabinet refacing is our forte. We believe in sustainability and cost-effectiveness. So, we kept the existing cabinet boxes and focused on upgrading the doors and drawer fronts. The result? A stunning transformation without the upheaval of a full remodel.
2. Extending Islands: Where Form Meets Function
The island was our canvas. We extended it, adding valuable workspace and storage. Now, it seamlessly flowed with the rest of the kitchen, creating a harmonious design.
3. The Shaker Door Style: Timeless Elegance
Our client fell head over heels for the timeless elegance of the shaker door style. She chose the Featherdown color – a warm, inviting hue that complemented her home’s existing tones. The clean lines and classic appeal of shaker doors set the tone for the entire kitchen.
4. Functional Island Upgrades: Making Every Inch Count
The revamped island became the heartbeat of the kitchen. Here’s what we incorporated:
- Beverage Center: Mornings now start with ease, thanks to a dedicated coffee and tea station.
- Pull-Out Trashcan: No more eyesores! Trash discreetly tucked away, yet always accessible.
- Microwave Door: Say goodbye to countertop clutter. The microwave found its cozy spot within the island.
5. Pantry Magic: Demolishing Walls for Storage
We demolished a wall next to the fridge, unveiling a hidden gem – a spacious pantry. Dry goods, small appliances, and pantry staples found their rightful home.
6. Shadow Gray Countertop: The Finishing Touch
The cool elegance of the shadow gray countertop tied everything together. It danced with the Featherdown cabinets, creating a balanced contrast.
