Outside In
In a rustic-contemporary two-story home, an isolated kitchen lacked natural light and connectivity, featuring only one window, one exterior door, and a single interior opening to the dining area. Blending the new finishes with the homes dominate color palette and a generous amount of architectural salvage items and antiques were a priority. The goal was to revitalize this dated space into a highly functional kitchen, provide a view of the outdoors, and elevate the overall aesthetic and practicality of the space. The new kitchen serves as a gathering point, creating an inviting atmosphere for shared moments and culinary delights.
