Project Reveal: Irvington Kitchen

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. 

By strategically widening the pass-throughs to the mudroom and dining room, we opened the flow to create a more open and inviting space. We maximized storage potential with full height cabinets that extend to the ceiling and clever blind corner cabinet organizers. 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 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 and brightness to the space, while brass hardware adds warmth and shine.  

In the connected mudroom, we designed functional cabinetry to house cleaning supplies and incorporated a bench, offering a comfortable place to sit and remove shoes.

The adjacent powder room, which was lacking style, also received a complete makeover. We redesigned the space with a fun patterned floor tile and added 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. Green schoolhouse sconces add a playful pop of color, and brass fixtures beautifully complement the richly colored walls. This turned out to be our client's 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.
