An existing three-season porch was dark and unused. We demolished it to accommodate a new addition that hosts an entertainer’s kitchen and ample windows. This maximizes light and integrates outdoor living into the heart of the home with a patio door leading to a covered porch.

​

The new kitchen is efficient for prepping, cooking and entertaining. A few steps down leads to a new mudroom with custom pantry storage and access to the finished garage. A large island and custom cabinetry contain many hidden amenities.

​

The custom range hood complements the aesthetics and creates a focal point. Matching “buffet”-style cabinets create a separate dining room space. Earthy tones continue into the living room at the Douglas Fir fireplace mantel and natural stone, the coziest spot of the house.

​

We completely updated the main floor bathroom. Taking advantage of window placement to maximize natural light, we added a transom window. To create volume, we thoughtfully considered selections such as “tiles” installed vertically providing an increased sense of height.

​

We maximized an opportunity of unused space by integrating a cozy home office with custom cabinetry, desk and open shelving.

​

Overall, light and airy finishes and the use of earthy tones are continuous throughout the now open-concept home. Materials such as the Douglas Fir mantel, natural stone and new luxury vinyl flooring throughout maintain cohesiveness and complete the renovation.

​

We used exterior “Evening Blue” siding and stone veneer to complement the surrounding environment while subtly expressing our client’s nautical family history.
