Contemporary Ranch in Virginia
The original 1960s kitchen cabinets were still in the home when I started work but the owner had added the granite on top of them. The existing cabinets were moldy and damaged beyond repair I replaced them with shaker style Armstrong cabinets and replaced the granite since it was still in good condition. I added bead board on the backside of cabinets under the peninsula and on the other side near the eat-in breakfast area. The cabinets were designed with a built-in bookshelf and pantry on the right side of the fridge to allow for additional food storage. As you can see the cabinets open from the large side of the cabinet so that they can easily be accessed. This maximizes the space available for the home owner instead of having to struggle with a small opening. New lighting was added and two of the existing can lights were switched to add pendant lighting over the peninsula.
