Kitchen remodel: Same space, new face

  • Housetrends
Kitchen remodel with a custom look
The refrigerator didn’t move during this kitchen remodel, but the surrounding cabinets, crown molding and soffit were custom designed and built to create a clean, uninterrupted line from floor to ceiling.

Built in the 90s, a Westerville kitchen was showing its age. New buyers were ready to take the space from a traditional style to a lighter, brighter, slightly more contemporary look.

When the owner came to see cabinetmaker Dan Cook of R.D. Cook, she had “a well thought out plan that showed really good taste,” Cook says.

Although the creamy white color of the new cabinets is similar to the originals, that’s where the similarities end. Floor-to-ceiling walls of cabinetry with minimalistic Shaker-style doors replaced more traditional doors and lots of open shelving. White Carrara marble tops the counters replacing a dark granite. Cream subway tiles sparkle as a backsplash and the walls, trim and ceiling are all painted a matching white, giving the whole space a bright new outlook.

While the before space also featured a peninsula and an island, the footprint was reworked to improve the flow and functionality. “The new space appears much more open,” Cook says. “It really is striking when you are standing in the middle of it.”
