From the Darkness to the Light
"I need help!" My client's kitchen was updated 35 years ago with dark cabinets, a dark island and poor lighting. She said she didn't know exactly what she wanted but she knew she wanted "light and bright."
Before
The "elephant in the room" was a large support with a TV mounted on it and a architectural design on the ceiling. The support had to stay but the ceiling element had to go.
When the ceiling element was removed, it left a gaping 5' x 8' hole. Hence, a new ceiling was installed with better lighting. That alone made a huge change.
We chose a beautiful granite called 'brown fantasy' in a leathered finish. We reduced the size to a more reasonable 4' x 8' for the island, which allowed better flow for moving around the space.
We replaced the cooktop with a more energy efficient model and changed the faucet to a gooseneck in brushed nickle. The sink was replaced as well.
We decided to paint the the cabinets in BM Pale Oak and the island cabinets were painted BM Raintree.
The support was painted in Pale Oak also to make it less imposing in the space and removed the TV set up. The client loves signs so we put up a sign on the support which looks more inviting to the space.
Overall, the space feels fresh and open and very pleasing to the eye.
My client gave a wonderful review and expressed her delight in her now "light and bright" kitchen.
