The owner is adding 1m sf to this older small town home. Like always, the kitchen is getting a makeover to upgrade the increased demand on this central utility. The problem…what to do with the 5 year old cabinets that are not perfect but the owner just doesn’t want to discard them and start over?
The existing cabinets are custom made, solid maple wood, raised panel are nicely done; except… the finish is a little rough and shows some swirl scratches in the finish.
The designer on this project has carefully used every existing cabinet into the new layout. The relocation of these existing cabinets will prove out to be a substantial savings to the owners. Yet to be decided is how to incorporate the additional details that were added, and the new island.
One solution would be is to use a contrasting color to the original. Two tone kitchens are in the trend but what to do about the rough finish on the original cabinets?
To be continued…
