    Thumbs up Making concrete disappear...

    Folks,

    I am pleased to present my latest creation...

    Client was a person I worked for before. Her mom passed and she wanted to remodel her mom's old condo, which had NOT been upated since it was built fifty years ago. Kitchen was a VERY small galley-style kitchen, with two openings in the walls. That confinement was the start of the entire process. A general contractor had the walls removed, HOWEVER, there was telecomm wiring within the walls which had to stay, hence the wires needs to be concealed. Thus it begins...

    Wood species is poplar spray stained espresso. The entire building had concrete floors and ceiling, with exposed columns. I was able to hide the small cloumn by surrounding it with two pantry cabinets, one 12" deep, the other 7". Cabinet above the fridge has my trademark pull-out tray. A glass door cabinet is to the right of the sink, above the first of two trash bin cabinets. The second trash bin cab is to the left of the stove. The wall cabs above the stove are a custom 26.25" tall. The peninsula features two 42" wide cabinets, the first with half-moon pull-out trays, the other with 12" deep drawers for pots and pans. The granite atop the peninsula gives enough room to potentially land a small aircraft. The counter overhang is supported by 4 Mission style bar brackets, with two faux doors separating 3 of the brackets on the long edge...

    Simple, yet elegant...

    Enjoy...
