Before & After :: San Diego Kitchen Transformation

I'm thrilled to share this San Diego Kitchen transformation with you. It was one of my favorite remodel projects last Summer. This home under went a major remodel after water damage from a pipe burst. It was a forced remodel for this family which is never fun to have as your Summer is starting out or anytime. I think all the headache was worth it after seeing this design come to life. The main thing that drove this project was the Kitchen island. The clients knew they needed to seat their family of six which they could not in the old kitchen. Sitting together for family meals was key. Therefore the island is all new custom cabinets. Isn't it gorgeous?! That white oak those natural quartizite stone countertops! We used as many of the undamaged cabinets as possible by painting them around the perimeter. Most of the white and gray cabinets you see are the original cabinets that have been painted. Isn't it amazing how you can't even tell we re-used the old cabinets?! The clients also had a dream of open shelves which gives this space a completely new look.  The power of cosmetic changes like paint, countertops, tile and shelves? My favorite features are the new floors and the tile wall with open shelves and sconces. Wait...I take that back it's too hard to choose I love it all!

This design was all done from afar like all of my designs. I emailed and mailed the client their Decorator in a Box with everything they needed to hand off to the contractor. It took all the guessing out of the project. When your undergoing a remodel there is so much to think about. It's overwhelming. It helps to have an interior designer guide you with all the selections. That way you won't make any costly mistakes. Before I sent the completed design there was a lot of brainstorming and sketching of the island layout with the clients. Then after they received the design I was available to answer any questions they had or to make design tweaks. They had a clear vision to hand off to their contractor to start executing the design. JMW Custom Home Builders did a great job on the execution.
