An Addition, part 3. The Kitchen.


A new custom kitchen was a prominent part of our expansion of this 1903 home, and you can catch up on our work underneath the kitchen here. The old all-brown kitchen was aging poorly. Our clients requested a highly functional space for serious cooking as well as a gathering place for guests. Here’s what we delivered.

The new kitchen featured hunter green custom inset cabinetry, Thermador appliances, Marvin windows, and a mosaic backsplash.

Diverse lighting sources are an important consideration in planning a new kitchen. Large windows, under-cabinet LED, and wall sconces complement the ceiling fixtures.

A multipurpose island holds the microwave, two refrigerator drawers, and an ice maker.

Recessed pocket doors offer space-saving storage of countertop appliances and bulky items.

We like to remember that this kitchen started as an idea before it became a drawing. Then it evolved into a framed enclosure above. The kitchen you see in these images traveled a long distance from conception to creation, and the act of building something from nothing is one of the most rewarding parts of our job.

We’re thrilled to know that the new kitchen is serving this family well. We have not forgotten their patience during a pandemic and willingness to live through major construction without complaint. This stuff can be hard, but our clients made it look easy. We hope they enjoy many great moments with friends and family in their new kitchen!
