CLASSIC ELEGANCE. TIMELESS AND TRADITIONAL
Take a look at the before and after photos for this Brooklyn kitchen remodel. They say the smallest kitchens are usually the most challenging, and this compact kitchen was no exception. We utilized every fraction of an inch this room had to offer, squeezed in convenient pull-out storage accessories and new high-end appliances (some larger than the appliances they replaced), and carefully factored in the clearances necessary to make every door and drawer fully open without issue.
Custom cabinet door panels conceal the dishwasher and the refrigerator, allowing the room to appear a little bigger than it actually is. There are lots and lots of decorative details (many of them are subtle) throughout this kitchen. The range hood makes the biggest statement; it's the focal point of the room. The kitchen backsplash features 3X12 wall tile, arranged in a herringbone pattern, adding a splash of color to a neutral off-white color palette.
French gold plumbing fixtures and cabinet hardware proved to be the perfect choice for this kitchen. The warm gold finish balances well with warm white tones and nature-inspired green tones.
The lighting in this kitchen is another design element I'd like to draw your attention to. Take a closer look and you'll find that the lighting has been thoughtfully distributed throughout the room, quite literally from top to bottom. (Note the toe kick lighting) Lighting design credit goes to the homeowners; they did a fantastic job!
I could write a book about this kitchen detailing all the features and design elements that went into it. This project was a delight to work on. I am so thankful to have such wonderful customers. I sincerely appreciate their trust in me. They were truly a pleasure to work with every step of the way!
