1970s Kitchen Renovation

Updating this 1970s-era kitchen was a more extensive project than replacing cabinets and adding an island. We improved the structure of the space, providing added benefits. This more functional design incorporates better placement of appliances and added beauty to the room.

We began the remodel of this space 44 years after it was originally built. A happy accident in the form of a leak from the ceiling revealed a bonus: extra room for a higher ceiling and much-needed space.

For this project, beautiful Taj Mahal quartzite counters were installed. Italian Sicis handmade tile mosaics were also installed in the backsplash.

The island is convenient for caterers, and for meal prep. It has a special pull-out shelf that doubles its size.

A unique feature is the mini fireplace installed below the kitchen television.

New lighted display spaces were added, featuring glass shelves to complement the elevated feel of the room.

The result is a contemporary, open kitchen that allows display of a lifetime of treasures, reflecting the owners’ unique style and personality.
