She Had A Vision


This 1993 Lake Oswego kitchen was perfect in size but the dated oak cabinets and laminate counter tops were a major turn off to the new homeowners.  She had a vision, her dream kitchen, and after many years of living in various homes she knew exactly what she wanted and we delivered. The preliminary design by Revive included all her wants, Wolf appliances placement, than it was fine-tuned to perfection with the details.   


 


Custom cabinets with shaker style doors and slab drawer fronts encase the new kitchen. A few selected glass doors were designed to display items. Cabinet drawers and roll outs have full extension and bottom mount soft close guides. Inside the corner cabinetry is the premier “lazy Susan” that cleverly folds out for easy access and folds back in to utilize typically wasted space. White Carrera Marble counter tops give the space a light clean classic look coordinating with the Benjamin Moore HC-64 “Pure White” painted cabinetry. Backsplash was done in Artic White 3” x 6” subway tiles from counter top to upper base cabinets accented with LED under cabinet lighting.



The massive 5” x 8’ island, a gathering place, houses the Wolf gas range with a downdraft system, Kohler Vault Prep Sink with Rohl Faucet. Island cabinetry also has pull out spice racks hidden behind the faux posts on either side of stove top, custom shelving on the ends, and more storage is tucked under the eating bar supported by stylish posts. Three stylish Clemson 14” Polished Chrome pendant lights from Restoration Hardware hang over the island add character.


 

 
What gives a space character has a lot to do with textures. The white palette is softened with the warm tone of oak hardwoods, movement in marble counter tops, and polished nickel finishes. This dream kitchen is now sophisticated and welcoming to all who gather there.
