Utility
to Kitchen
Before this project, the room was put together with an industrial sink and industrial counters, combined with whatever random cabinets and countertops were on hand, no real kitchen at all. The kitchen "island" was an old entertainment center with a painted plywood board laid on top to work as a counter. This is what it took to build an actual kitchen into that space, designed around how the client really cooks, not just a catalog layout.
The Project
Not A Kitchen Yet
An industrial sink and industrial counters, combined with whatever random cabinets and countertops were on hand, that was the whole kitchen. The island was an old entertainment center with a painted plywood board laid on top to work as a counter.
Storage That Works
Every base cabinet uses drawers or pull-out accessories instead of standard shelves, so nothing gets lost or hard to reach in the back. The pantry uses pull-out drawers for easy access, and a lazy susan in a separate wall cabinet solves corner storage. The existing pot rack stays right where it was, in front of a window where a wall cabinet was never going to work anyway.
Finished on Every Side
The island has decorative doors field-installed on the back so it looks finished from every angle, not just the front. Currently mid-install, after photos coming once it's complete.
