1958 Ranch Kitchen Remodel in Altadena
The peninsula was enlarged to accommodate seating on the end and extends over a wine cooler next to the sliding door. The selection of the countertop color will impact the total design. Slabs of quartzite granite, with a beautiful veining of dark gray and blue-green, was selected for the countertops. The back splash was designed using tile in a hand-made subway shape. The 3 colors of gray and blue-green are laid in a loose pattern. These colors envelope the space and pull the room together. The tile feature below the hood is a classic Moroccan pattern with a dark pewter frame. Three shades of gray/green paint are used; the lightest shade is on the ceiling. The kitchen walls are a deeper shade with a slightly lighter shade used on the laundry walls. Mary Broerman, CCIDC
