With a love for transitional design, our client came to us requesting a brighter, more open and functional kitchen and overall refresh from floors to ceiling. The transformation began by removing cumbersome walls in an effort to combine the separate dining room into a combined kitchen and nook space then further open this new area to the front room. More space was bought with a small addition along the back elevation of the house, which also allowed access to a new patio area. The atmosphere was additionally renewed through bright white and baby blue cabinets, while delicate details dance throughout the space in the form of charming ruffled fixtures and a variation on the typical subway backsplash, wherein both glossy and matte tiles were mixed at random to catch the light in unique ways. And as a little nod to the 1970 roots of the house, custom dinette upholstery and walnut details were employed throughout the home for a quirky, retro vibe.
