Seattle kitchen remodel - Seattle period home remodel

major remodel

The house: 100 years old, a former boarding house in Greenwood. The owners: determined to mark its centennial by updating the look without losing sight of the past. Classic white custom cabinetry contrasts with eye-popping glass art tile and hand-blown light fixtures. An inviting furniture-style island cabinet draws in guests and an Ipea deck beckons outside. Doors, windows and walls moved - the result is colorful, true to form, and seamless. Completed 2007.

Architect: Kim Goforth of Goforth-Gill Architects

Custom white cabinets are juxtaposed against Disco Inferno mosaic glass tile. Note the clerestory windows to the left that bring in light above the cabinets

Lindal windows overlook the sink area, which includes an iron farm sink and Caesarstone countertops. Note the hand-blown pendant lights from Blowing Sands in Ballard

The cabinets include a built-in microwave and appliance garage. A full pantry cabinet is hidden in the far corner

The island is built as a furniture piece out of quarter-sawn oak and includes a cubby for a laptop

A peek under the upper cabinets reveals under-cabinet task lighting for the counter

The kitchen now flows seamlessly into the dining room, which features an imported glass chandelier

The former location of the kitchen becomes a cozy media room, with a new entrance to the powder bath and a row of high Lindal windows

Even the living room gets a makeover - the area to the right of the fireplace used to have a cabinet and a hall into the kitchen

This powder bath had its door relocated to a new wall and the tub removed. But it stays true to its original look

Before

After: a gracious Ipea deck for barbecuing and entertaining

After: Colorful and inviting, functional and fun
