What started as a desire to enlarge the kitchen island, latter became the catalyst for sprucing up the rest of this La Mesa, California hillside home.
By redesigning the kitchen island to obtain additional prep room we also gained space for a larger cook-top and an area for a wine chiller. We created a balance in the kitchen by enlarging the buffet which now serves as a statement piece to the room. The owners chose a dark grey tone for the island to anchor the space. Refinishing the hardwood floors in a deep grey tone provided more of a contrast between the existing cabinets. Adding new countertops and glass subway tile provided the sparkle the space needed. New modern hardware finished off the cabinets, while the new coffee themed décor completed the space.
