Walnut Creek Transitional Kitchen and Great Room Remodel

Challenge

Several walls divided the kitchen, dining room, family room and living room. Moreover, the homeowners were missing out on enjoying the stunning California sunsets from their kitchen, so opening up their space and enlarging the living room windows were driving forces for the remodel.

Solution

Gayler started by removing the wall that separated the hall from the kitchen. This gave us the openness to create a larger more functional island that comfortably sits three. Then, Gayler removed the wall to the far right of the kitchen sink, giving enough room to extend the length of the kitchen. Gayler also removed the angled soffit to allow for a smoother, more visually appealing, open space.

The luxury details found in this kitchen remodel include Precision custom cabinetry finished in ‘Swiss Coffee’, a perimeter countertop made out of a porcelain slab by Dekton from the Stonika Collection—color ‘Sogne’; and a contrasting island countertop made of polished Nevaska Granite, with a thicker 2-½” full bullnose edge. The full height backsplash is a honed Carrara Marble tile, 4”x12”, installed in a brick pattern.
