I had a lot of fun designing my first kitchen project. There is a level of detail in designing kitchens that is dizzying, but the most critical part is the floor plan. I picture myself using the space, cooking, cleaning, entertaining, and the design flows from there.
This condo is on the third floor of a three family house, about 900 sq. ft. The renovation completely transformed an awkward, dark space into a light-filled, functional room. The budget was tight, since the bulk of it went towards the construction work to vault the ceiling. So I went with only 4 pieces of stock cabinetry, chose good-looking but mid-range appliances, and selected remnants for the marble countertops.

That was a job well done! Thank you for the pictures. The colour choice at first is a surprise, but it is “right” for the place – fortune favours the bold, well done again.
Thanks! I love bold color, and sometimes have difficulty restraining myself 🙂 Glad you like it!
