No Demo Reno Kitchen
Have you ever wanted to change your home’s interior spaces, but not go through months of construction? Wouldn’t it be great to have a new space for the new year, but without all the headaches of tearing out walls and rebuilding?
Here’s how we did a no-demolition-renovation of a San Francisco kitchen recently.
This is what the space looks like after we completed the work. I just love how light and refreshing it feels!
The imitation artichoke pendant light is an affordable way to add a standout design feature, while the butcher block is both practical and useful as a countertop and a dining/seating area.
The kitchen was easily usable with plenty of counter space and cabinets, but also totally bland in wood tones and white, without much texture, color or pizazz. We didn’t need to move anything, just update the finishes.
We kept the same countertops, painted the cabinets, and added open shelving for storage and display. I set subway tiles on the vertical instead of horizontally, creating a much more modern look.
We chose cornflower blue as a color that communicates trust and safety, something everyone’s home should support. It’s also a great backdrop for colorful, delicious food!
Now my client enjoys her new kitchen and didn’t have to go through months of construction dust and displacement.
