The walls were removed, ceilings refinished, new lighting installed, new cabinets, counters, appliances and backsplash. Floors through out were replaced with a beautiful charcoal stained white rift cut oak. All walls were painted - some white (same colour as baseboards) and others dark gray.
This renovation was such a success not only because of the materials selected but also because it met the owner's budget and exceeded her expectations. The cabinets are from Ikea - but are professionally constructed and installed. The cost savings by not ordering custom millwork left more money for the counters and backsplash. The counters are Ceasarstone - concrete colour, and the backsplash is a combination of marble and glass. Taking the backsplash up above the hood fan helps to create a feeling of height in the kitchen.
