This warm and inviting kitchen was designed to embrace the light. The only window in the space is above the kitchen sink and doesn’t flood the kitchen with light. To complement this rather than fight against it, deep olive greens and mushroom tones were chosen for the perimeter cabinets, along with white oak for the islands. The kitchen’s focal point is the oversized custom brass hood with a hand-rubbed finish. This was made possible by taking space from a previous walk-in pantry and broom closet, expanding the kitchen.

The homeowner transformed this 1930s kitchen into a functional and inviting gathering area. To improve the layout, they removed a wall between the kitchen and dining area and widened a hallway entry to seamlessly blend the two spaces. For additional counter space, a peninsula adds more meal prep space and an area for guests to gather. Modern finishes like updated hardware, sleek appliances and fixtures and an elevated aesthetic complete this efficient, bright kitchen.

Transforming a previously non-functioning kitchen, Karr Bick used intentional design elements to adjust the space to the homeowner’s needs. Custom green cabinets, a rich walnut island and herringbone hardwood floors make a striking statement. Vintage-inspired appliances and careful selection of materials ensured the renovation would blend seamlessly with the rest of this Century home.

This historic 1875 home was in need of a remodel. One of the first decisions was to move the kitchen and dining area. A portion of the covered porch was absorbed into the living room, the dining area was moved to the previous kitchen and the fireplace and powder room removed to create a large kitchen space. A peninsula was chosen over an island to further maximize the space, and small shallow areas were used to “sink” tall cabinets and create storage. The French range is stainless with brass accents, and all the hardware and plumbing are made of polished unlacquered solid brass.

This 1916 grand traditional classic home had a dated, previously remodeled kitchen. This large transformation included a new covered side entry and portico, an added elevator to replace a dangerous back stairwell and the removal of some interior walls. These changes added more space for a larger island, more storage and a larger work area. A relocated back entry, large window over the sink and new arch accent windows were also included in the remodel. The trim details represent the ornate trim seen around the house, and quartz countertops and backsplashes tie in the white cabinetry.

These homeowners were looking for a contemporary design that felt modern and clean. Chelsea Design Company began the transformation by upgrading the refrigerators and upgrading the previous dividing peninsula into a long island. To create a focal point, a panel ready column refrigerator and freezers were enhanced with diamond panels to catch the natural light. New white oak floors, a rich dark walnut shaker-style cabinet and a contrasting neutral painted cabinet on the two-tier island adds a touch of nature.
