I am so excited to share the photos from this amazing kitchen transformation in Montclair NJ. My clients have such a charming home from the 1920’s and their kitchen was in need of a makeover because it was lacking storage and space. We were able to add an additional window and functional island, as well as more cabinets, by removing a little nook in between the kitchen and dining room.

For the cabinets, we selected a really pretty green/grey color that pairs so perfectly with the soapstone countertops and new wood floors stained Early American.

I love the open shelves in this corner - we had them stained a tiny bit darker than the floors (Provincial) which is such a great contrast to the hand-cut subway tiles and cabinet color.

The farmhouse sink not only looks beautiful but provides so much space - who wouldn’t want to wash dishes right here?!

We selected the soapstone after looking at many slabs at the stoneyard and I am so thrilled with the end result. There is nothing like a natural stone, especially in a 100 year old home.

Here is a BEFORE photo so that you can see where we started. Notice how removing that nook on the left really opened up the space.

Having an additional window in the kitchen also allows for so much more natural light.

Here is a side by side before and after of this Montclair kitchen transformation!

Working with an interior designer / decorator can save you money in the long run by avoiding costly mistakes or getting furniture that doesn’t really fit the space properly. If you have a new home in Bergen County that you recently purchased or are doing an addition or renovation in the Northern NJ area I’d love to learn more about your project and share how I can help as your interior designer.

I am so excited to share the full reveal of this Glen Rock kitchen renovation. For this project, I met with my clients last summer and we talked about their goals for the space. We then worked with my kitchen cabinet maker to create the new layout, select the cabinet style, color, hardware and countertops. At first, my clients were not so sure about having a contrasting island, but i assured them that they would love the finished result. And of course, they do!!
