Modern Kitchen

We've been busy working away here and wanted to share that beautiful kitchen remodel that we shared inspiration photos of a while back.  The kitchen was part of a full remodel in Santa Monica.  The front house is a super cute Spanish style home built almost 100 years ago.  The goal was to bring it into this era while still maintaining some of the beautiful characteristics of the original home.  The first step was to demo the entire kitchen and open it up.  We mimicked the existing arch way into the living room and again into the hallway that leads to the living quarters to give it continuity with the existing space. 
Here's the transformation.

Kitchen Remodel

Getting ready to start our newest kitchen remodel.  This will be the 6th in the past 8 months!  Each of them gorgeous in their own way...of course. And this one is going to be an absolute stunner...the entire back splash wall will be a piece of Calcutta Zebrano Marble slab-top to bottom, with white quartz counters.  We are keeping it simple and are only installing the base cabinets with the grain of the Couture Wood cabinets running horizontal....the floor-- a grey porcelain.  And then we'll sprinkle some miner's dust over the walls (literally our favorite color by Dunn Edwards) if there was ever a perfect grey...this would be it! 
 
Check back to see the before and afters photos of the previous kitchen remodels.

Bright, White, Modern Kitchens

What's not to love about a bright, white, modern kitchen?  These are the epitome of simple and chic and a little color goes a long way.  I especially like the use of shelves instead of above counter cabinets, makes them even more unique.
