Before & After
BEFORE
Not enough kitchen space. Galley style. Dated. Lack of storage.
Our client wanted to take the wall down between the old kitchen and the old formal dining room. The style of the home was Spanish Colonial and traditional throughout. We wanted to maintain the style of New Traditional and nearly tripled the size of the kitchen layout.
PROJECT GOALS AND REQUIREMENTS
Expand the footprint of the kitchen and maximize usable space
Add all inside cabinet storage solutions, water filtration system, a separate bar sink while maintaining Classic & Timeless look.
Create a large island with at least 6 stools
Rework lighting and anchor the island with 3 boxed in pendants
Off white, antique brushed bronze and rust accents.
Create a separate bar area for entertaining
Create a focal point in the kitchen with a Bespoke range hood.
Location : New York
Projected Budget: $100,000 +
THE SCRUNCHED GALLEY STYLE DATED KITCHEN
LET’S BEGIN WITH THE PROCESS
Client sources a local kitchen showroom to measure and draft up the kitchen layout.
First Draft Kitchen Layout
Client shared the initial draft where we gave our expert opinion on the layout and made a couple of revisions with the cabinet showroom.
Client wanted an even bigger island.
Lot’s a space for entertaining around the island as well as the bar area.
3 instead of 2 pendants above the island and ceiling can lights to brighten up the space.
Large 36” cooktop with bespoke range hood
Space for 6 stools
Keep the original sink
Peter and Sabrina’s Feedback
“Can we keep the original sink?”
“We’d like an even larger island.”
“Should we match the hood to the cabinets or to the walnut island?”
“I’d prefer wood floor tile”
“We love the 3x12 subway backsplash tile”

Peter and Sabrina received samples of all design elements in our bespoke Kurated box : Countertop, floor tile, metal finishes. paint chip, stool fabric, backsplash subway tile etc.
They were able to touch and feel every element, finish & texture
They got even more excited because they felt confident in all design choices made throughout this journey
This was their largest home improvement investment thus far
They’ve invested $100,000, but their home’ equity increased by $130,000 at the end of the project.
