Island Living Kitchen

In this kitchen renovation project, our team of professional kitchen remodeling contractors started with a closed-off kitchen that was separated from the rest of the living and family room area. Our first step was to tear down all the walls to create an open floor plan. We removed the front closet and arched walls to further open up the space. Once we took the kitchen down to the studs, we installed extra-large 24 x 48 tiles for the new floors and created a new kitchen floor plan with a 10' x 10' island. New plumbing was installed in the island to accommodate a sink and dishwasher.

To complement the new layout of the kitchen, we also installed new LED lights and electrical features. We moved the oven door closer to the front of the house to extend the double oven and induction cooktop stove wall. The former dining room area was transformed into a full wall of cooking equipment with a double oven and induction stove. Built-in spice racks and pot drawers were added to this semi-custom kitchen.

To create a cohesive look for the kitchen interior, we used three colors, including white shaker uppers, a custom-stained perimeter shaker, and a custom-painted denim blue island. A leathered granite countertop was installed, which also features an entire slab up the stove wall with the vent hood. New crown molding was added to the ceiling and cabinetry for a polished finish. We also created a pantry wall to provide additional storage space, which was possible after removing the previous walls. Additionally, we installed a bar with a built-in mini-fridge, custom shelves, and a mirrored backsplash.

Our team worked on this kitchen renovation project for three months, which included delays due to COVID-19 related issues with cabinetry. With this project, we transformed a closed-off kitchen into a large open space with a cohesive design and a functional layout.
