This was our second project working with these clients helping them to upgrade their house and bring it out of the ’80s! This time we tackled the kitchen. Their old kitchen had orange-ish oak cabinets with baby blue laminate countertops; there was a the cook-top that was placed in a small island, making food prep a challenge. What they wanted was a more communal kitchen where this family of avid cooks could work and eat around an island. They wanted a really high-end stove and fridge as well as good working space. They are slowly removing all the old ’80s trim in the house and are replacing it with stained fir, which is native to Seattle. The reeded glass in the upper cabinets help add subtle color from the clients’ collection of Fiestaware dishes.
