Custom Island

This kitchen is in a new home. The builders left the middle of the fairly large kitchen wide open. It just cried out for an island, or piece of furniture. The owner agreed, which is why she called me in on the project. (She got my name and contact info from Houzz, by the way.) The solution was this beauty I custom designed and had Crystal Cabinet Works build for her. Even the color is custom and check out the curved doors on the one side. Turned out pretty neat, don’t you think?

Light Filled, Open Design

This design included an additional 6 feet to create functional space. Skylights and tall windows topped with transoms fill this kitchen with natural light. These features create a cheerful openness welcoming gatherings of friends and family. Cabinets that reach the ceiling make use of available space and glass doors feature treasured items.

Spacious Layout with Double Islands

I don’t know what the builder or architect had in mind when this kitchen was designed.  Although it’s quite large, it’s both unattractive and functions poorly.  However, it’s a great house in a very upscale neighborhood that just happened to have a disaster for a kitchen.  After suffering through several years using it as-is, it was turned into a dream kitchen that is fantastic to look at and a dream in which to cook.

Sleek Modern Design with Sunroom

The existing kitchen was absurdly small and dark with little to no view of their gorgeous backyard.  The natural thing to do was to expand the kitchen toward the rear and give them both a fantastic view and a comfortable, roomy kitchen. The results were dramatic.

Rich Looking Efficient Use of Space

What a dingy kitchen this was! The cabinets weren’t all that bad, but the whole effect was seriously boring. The bold, new look was achieved with custom cabinets, a strong lighting scheme, picture window, decorative range hood and elimination of the useless soffits.

Range Hood Feature in Spacious Design

This is part of a whole-house remodeling project.  A new wing was added to the residence. In the process, we expanded the existing kitchen into the new space and opened it up for visual effect. The mixing of cabinetry finishes adds interest and breaks up a uniform look.

Family Friendly Spacious Island

This was actually a kitchen in a fairly new house.  It just didn’t work very well.  Also, the cabinets were the builder’s idea of what kitchen cabinets should be – mostly, cheap.  The restructured kitchen is not only beautiful to look at, but it’s fun to work in.  The huge island serves their family, well.
