The Coastal Kitchen project took place at a newer home (built in early 2000’s) in Denton, TX. The house was in great shape, but the brown tones in the kitchen didn’t match our clients’ style. They desired more flow between their kitchen and living room and didn’t like the bi-level island or dividing archway that split the two spaces. One main goal was to gain island space in order to make the kitchen more functional for entertaining.

The name Coastal Kitchen was inspired by our client’s Hawaiian heritage and airy, nautical design style that feels inviting and “beachy”.

Before

The kitchen was coordinated, yet dated. The cabinets were in great shape, but made the kitchen feel dark. Fluorescent lighting wasn’t adequate for the space and the arched open wall impaired the feeling of continuity between the kitchen and living room.

The Process

First, we removed the wall over the island and cut the island down to one level. We kept the existing cabinetry and added on to the island, resulting in more storage on the living room side and a great over-sized island top. The cabinetry to the right of the fridge was also extended to add more counter and storage space. LED can lights replaced the fluorescent lighting and under-cabinet lighting was added.

We installed granite counters with a new stainless steel single-bowl undermount sink, and our handy clients installed their own backsplash! The cabinetry was painted to lighten and update the kitchen. Our clients also removed the beige floor tile and stained the concrete.
