KITCHEN REFRESH
Following a previous addition and refresh, our clients were looking to brighten their 187-square-foot kitchen. The kitchen was often drafty and cold during the winter months, limiting the enjoyment within the heart of the home.

We can’t thank Ben and his team at BLB enough for the thoughtful planning and skilled execution of our kitchen remodel. It’s simply beautiful and turned out exactly as we envisioned it – only much better!

LET THERE BE LIGHT
The former kitchen featured dark wooden cabinets and heavy fixtures and finishes, making the space look and feel smaller. The clients opted for lightly painted cabinets, bright white tile and stone, and neutral-colored flooring to brighten the kitchen.
CONTEMPORARY DESIGN
Contemporary design includes sleek and simple spaces, often open to expose clean lines and emphasize the light and airy feel. In contemporary spaces, neutral color schemes paired with textured fabrics and reflective materials are standard.
CLEAN LINES + ANGLES
Each line and angle design is for a purpose in contemporary spaces. We incorporated several line patterns and directions throughout the kitchen for visual uniformity and contrast. We included delicate molding above the wall tile to give an illusion of a straight wall.
