Both avid cooks, our clients approached us with a small, cramped kitchen yearning for a major transformation. Limited by the existing footprint of the kitchen, we embraced the challenge to create a functional space for them to cook and entertain. 

 

Working with Big Foot Northwest for the construction of our client's new space, we maximized storage potential with full height cabinets and clever blind corner cabinet organizers. To create a more open and inviting space, we strategically widen the pass-throughs to the mudroom and dining room. Despite the small footprint of the kitchen, we incorporated some shelving to prevent the kitchen from feeling heavy, providing our clients with a dedicated spot to display cookbooks and pottery.

 

Aesthetically our clients wanted to keep the warmth of their existing kitchen but brighten it up with a fresh look. The use of alder wood cabinets by Prodage lends a light but cozy feeling, grounded by a dark porcelain tile floor. A soft white quartz countertop adds further brightness, while a full wall of sage green tile introduces a dramatic touch. A custom plaster hood adds a gorgeous soft texture to the space, while brass hardware adds warmth and shimmer.  

 

In the connected mudroom, we designed functional cabinetry to house supplies as well as a created a comfortable spot to sit. The adjacent powder room also received a complete makeover. We re-designed the space with a fun patterned floor tile and added historic character with a traditional wainscot. We punched up the drama by painting the room a rich navy, matching the floor tile, to create a jewel box effect. Schoolhouse sconces in green add a playful pop of color and brass fixtures beautifully complement the richly colored walls. This turned out to be our clients' favorite space!

​

The completed project reflects a beautiful space full of functionality and style. Our clients are thrilled with the transformation, and they now enjoy a kitchen, mudroom, and powder room that not only look stunning but also suit their needs and lifestyle.​
