With a cramped, peninsula kitchen, that lacked adequate storage space and room for two people to work, these homeowners were ready for some impressive upgrades. Over the years, they had been able to solve some minor cosmetic issues, but with new modern appliances, with doors that bumped into one another, were now ready for a brand new kitchen with an island. After the removal of a peninsula countertop, the hanging cabinets that blocked the view of the dining room, and old-fashioned soffits, see what it looks like now!  

This kitchen remodel included removing soffits and bringing the cabinets up to the ceiling, upgrading from laminate countertops to quartz countertops, going to full overlay cabinet doors, and converting an existing pantry closet into a pantry with roll-out trays.

Kitchen Island Shelving

A unique feature of this island is the finished end, which mimics the look of the doors. In addition, the clients opted for doors on the opposite side of the island, rather than traditional seating, which provides additional storage space. The cabinetry in this kitchen remodel has full overlay cabinet doors and under cabinet xenon lighting.

 

Built-In Kitchen Pantry

An existing closet was turned into a small pantry, adding small appliance storage with pull-outs.

“Degnan Design-Builders provided two possibilities to provide the best kitchen that would fit with the rest of the house, increase the usable workspace, and improve the lighting. Removing the peninsula and changing to an island design that fits the space and feels natural is amazing! Our project was completed in ‘record’ time with minimal disruption. All project and trades-people were extremely professional, asking questions, explaining alternatives, and responding to all of the little things that come up in a project this size. We can now enjoy our kitchen every day!”
