fall in love with a

This issue is all about love, and the Kitchen Refresh team wants to share a recent project they are utterly infatuated with. Our clients tell us all the time they fell in love with their home because of the character, the potential of the future vision they had for the home, even the feeling they felt in their bones that “this was it!” However, not all areas in a home are always perfect, as you can imagine. This is where our love story starts.

The adventure began almost a year before the project kicked off, with many conversations on what our clients’ hopes were for the home they fell in love with. The home was made for entertaining, but the kitchen was closed off, and was not conducive to the way their active family used the space. The dream was to open a wall that was shared with a small cozy sitting room that was underutilized, and create a eat-up peninsula. The Kitchen Refresh team focuses on trying to salvage as many cabinets as possible when working through layout changes. By moving all the cabinetry surrounding the fridge and shifting it to the former breakfast nook of the kitchen, not only was storage maintained, but it limited the number of new cabinets needed for the space. Waste not, want not. Most of the new cabinets came in the creation of the new eat-up peninsula.

Smart solutions were utilized when planning for this active family regarding the peninsula layout. A double roll-out trash and recycling unit was housed on the far end, with hidden roll outs on the opposite side for easy access of meal prep related items. The center of the new peninsula was designed to house a microwave for easy reheating and to limit overall visual exposure.

The Kitchen Refresh team worked with the client to select new quartz countertops; coordinated flooring selection, installation, layout changes and textural elements; all while having an absolute blast working with the client to meet their goals.
