The kitchen at the Pena residence was our first kitchen remodel this past summer.
The wish list included:
- Bring the kitchen "out of the 1970's"
- Open up the space
- Remove a double oven and adding more storage
- Install new cabinets and appliances
As you can see, the kitchen did need some updating. In order to open up the space, we removed the upper cabinets separating the kitchen from the dining room. Then we removed the light box at the kitchen ceiling. This allowed us to "bump" up the ceiling 12 inches. These two decisions opened up the kitchen. What do you think?
We then added these great shaker-style, espresso-stained cabinets from KitchenCraft. The cabinets are frameless, allowing for less wood to be used, as well as increasing storage capacity. Combined with integrated storage solutions, the cabinets are much more efficient than the previous ones.
We also installed a New Venetian Gold granite countertop from Rodeo Marble and a travertine backsplash to compliment the cabinets and granite.
Overall, the kitchen looks cleaner, updated, and much more open. Another kitchen remodeling success!
