Full Kitchen View From Family Room
This homeowner wanted to modernize her kitchen, without changing the footprint, so she could keep her existing flooring as it runs throughout the dining and family rooms. First we removed the old ceiling light panels and installed recessed can lighting with LED bulbs. Light gray (filtered shade is the color name) shaker cabinets are fresh and timeless at once. Calacatta quartz countertops are durable and give the look of granite without the maintenance. Multicolor, gray, hexagon tile backsplash brings some fun and visual appeal to the minimalist space. The 33" Kohler farm sink and new stainless steel appliances complete the transformation.

The base cabinet on the far left houses a swing up mixer shelf. The mixer stays protected in the cabinet but raises to counter height when the homeowner is ready to use it. To effectively utilize the small space between the sink base and the corner we added the wine shelf. The space was too narrow for a blind corner cabinet.
