VanderBeken Remodel
Local Association: Master Builders Association of King & Snohomish Counties
After spending years raising their family, this couple was ready to transform their narrow, outdated galley kitchen into what they envisioned, tailored to fit their current lifestyle with a mind toward aging-in-place. The goal was to create an open and bright modern kitchen with improved flow with the rest of the main floor.
By removing the wall between the existing dining room and kitchen, the new design unifies the main floor, emphasizing functionality and showcasing a sleek, modern aesthetic. The space now offers ample room for meal prep, dining, and socializing.
The updated expansive windows take center stage and flood the kitchen with natural light, and LED under-cabinet lighting brings added light to the space.
Increased organization is now available with extra easy-to-access storage in the lower cabinetry. Inset wall ovens, and a microwave located in the island create a clutter-free counter space.
Rediscovered and refinished existing hardwood floors are masterfully laced with new hardwood. The tile backsplash above the stove top is repeated in the fireplace surround in the adjoining living room and dining room for a cohesive aesthetic.
The result is a significantly improved use of space with elevated livability, providing durability and longevity for a well-used and enjoyed kitchen.
