The ‘galley’ layout of the kitchen already worked well for them, but we were able to gain more countertop space by installing a new Microwave / Vent Hood combination above their existing stove. Beyond being able to achieve the layout and custom rustic finish the client desired, two other factors led us to recommend building custom cabinets: they wanted a hutch/furniture look on one end and this room also holds the clothes washer. By extending the countertop and backsplash across the clothes washer it looks clean and totally integrated with the kitchen space. In addition, the client had us paint the connecting living room / dining room space as part of the overall renovation.
