We are so excited to share with you our Summit Oak Project! This remodel entailed a kitchen renovation where we gutted the entire space, but kept the layout fairly similar to what it was before.
The space originally had a corner sink, wall ovens, and the range in the island. Our client wanted to eliminate the corner sink, but keep it in a roughly similar location to where it was before, and get rid of the wall ovens and instead have a standard oven / range that would be housed somewhere other than the island. With the challenge of a couple of large windows, and keeping the fridge in it's original place, we were somewhat limited on possible configurations. We decided to move the range right next to the fridge to act as a focal point to the kitchen. Keeping the sink in a somewhat similar spot but eliminating the corner cabinet upgraded the look of the kitchen to be a bit more modern, while giving them added space for a larger sink with a built-in drainboard.
An honorable mention for the pot rack above the sink! This design feature not only creates extra storage, but adds so much functionality, as our clients can now wash their pots and pans, and hang them up right away while allowing them to drip dry over the sink.
Our clients are big on gardening, and they have designed a backyard that is self-sustaining with native plants. We loved the idea of bringing some inspiration in from the PNW through our materials and color palettes.
We started off the kitchen concept with the idea of all wood perimeter cabinets. After looking at quite a few samples, we ended up going with an Alder wood with a custom stain to achieve this rich, warm tone. We paired that with a quartz countertop that's white with some grey veining throughout to achieve a marble-look and a variated white subway tile backsplash with a bit of a rustic touch.
We knew we wanted to switch it up for the island to add some contrast and dimension to the space. We ended up going with a grey-concrete look slab for the countertops, and a soft green paint for the cabinetry. We went with Sherwin Williams, Rosemary, and it's the perfect fresh green with a cool grey undertone.
To style the space, we added in these which added the perfect amount of depth and contrast against the island!

For this remodel, we didn't just stop at the kitchen! We also revamped their fireplace in the family room. Starting out with a space that wasn't quite their style, and also didn't provide enough storage for them, we were able to create a really awe-inspiring design. We swapped out the granite-look fireplace surround for a natural stone to give a more earthy and relaxed feel. Then we removed the traditional mantle an opted for something more streamlined. Lastly, we said goodbye to the funky bookcases on either side and went with something more classic.
Over on the left side, they had an interesting layout since the window cuts in too close to the wall. We knew we wanted the built-ins to go all the way up while maintaining the original window. We ended up creating a more narrow built-in on each side of the fireplace to leave just enough room for the window casing. This still gave them plenty of storage, while keeping the existing window.
But my favorite part of this fireplace revamp, is the metal mesh inlay in the lower cabinets to conceal their belongings, while allowing the sound to fully come through from their speakers that are housed in there.
