New custom smoothie/coffee bar where an ‘80’s kitchen desk used to be , with two drawers below for garbage, compost and laundry. There was no space prior for garbage, so there was a receptacle in the middle of the room.

I moved the upper wall cabinet (used to be here) to the space that used to be occupied by the frig - and then replaced it with this custom cabinet. New hardware an restoration hardware lighting in the kitchen.

Creating a fabulous, beautiful space that creates continuity between the family room and kitchen - without having to demolish the whole kitchen space. By moving the refrigerator out of an awkward space, putting in new granite countertops and a generous new island for seating, creating a smoothie and coffee, bar and new trash receptacles that were not there before, the kitchen solace is reformed to a much more user-friendly space, and much more beautiful.
