What is the most unusual aspect or outstanding characteristic of this entry?
This transitional kitchen is a marriage between function and sophistication. Painted in a semi-gloss cloud white colour, these cabinets make a small space feel cozy and welcoming. An open concept design allows for the unobstructed flow of the natural light from the patio making it more energy efficient compared to the pre-renovation design. Kitchens features clear glass shaker style display doors, pullout waste bin/garbage container, and an upholstery leather-style backsplash design with white quartz countertop. This kitchen fully utilizes home’s small space by strategically placing an island between two columns, featuring an overhang countertop, serving as a breakfast area by day and an entertainment hub by night.
Issue solved: Client came in with an outdated kitchen that was closed-in from the rest of the house and had insufficient countertop/storage space.
