Montclair NJ kitchen transformation

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.

Glen Rock Kitchen update - kitchen designer

Everything seems to be taking FOREVER right now but it is always worth the wait. And this Glen Rock kitchen transformation is no exception. We started working on the new design of this kitchen last fall and as you can see it was a complete overall / gut renovation. Here is a side by side of the before and progress photo of the same angle:

Here is another progress photo. You can see a closer shot of the beautiful countertops- I am SO happy that my clients trusted my instinct to go dark on the island.

Another BEFORE photo of the sink wall.

Here is a view of the sink wall now! I am so happy with these leather stools!

Stay tuned for the final AFTER photos coming soon!!!

Kitchen Design Northern NJ Bergen County

I just LOVE working on kitchen design projects. This kitchen concept is for a Northern NJ client with a mid century modern style home. The design will feature white inset style cabinets along the perimeter of the kitchen with panels over the fridge and dishwasher. The island will be a deep green color. There will be honed carrara marble countertops throughout the kitchen and black cabinet pulls. The faucet and oven vent hood will be stainless steel and there will be 3” x 12” white subway tile backsplash. The pendants over the island will tie in to the black cabinet pulls and since it’s a big space, there will be some room for open shelving along one wall.

The vision board is the first step when embarking on a kitchen design project. This helps clients to get a general over view of the elements and how they work together. After working with a kitchen cabinet maker we then create the exact layout of the space and rendering.
