Mountain Island Lake Kitchen Transformation

This beautiful home on Mountain Island Lake was in need of an update and what better place to start than with the kitchen?!  The homeowners knew they wanted a fresh look, but weren't quite sure where to start, so in I come helping them step out of their box and into the world of pretty blue/grays and soft whites for one of the most amazing transformed kitchens that quite frankly gives me kitchen envy!

The darker cabinets, blue tile backsplash with beach motif and ho-hum lighting screamed, "ready for a makeover"!

And After:

ooh la la, loooooove this kitchen!

It all started with the paint.  I knew what color I wanted the walls, the cabinets, island and bar area, but needed that perfect countertop to pull it all together. And here it is, the most beautiful quartzite I had ever seen.  Beautiful movement with different shades of grays and whites- perfect with the paint we selected.

Here is a great picture of the quartzite installed…

A few more great shots…

A separate bar area complete with mini fridge and ice maker

Look at all this storage concealed behind a great barn door

               An innovative spot for the microwave- even opens by the push of a button

Love the splash of red in this space…

Every cooks dream... hidden storage for spices flanking the stove- a perfect place for them!

 

We used Amerock hardware from their Allison line, its modern edge with classic vibe added just the right touch!

I love my job- to be able to see a space transformed and know I had an important part in bringing it all together, makes me very happy!
