Summerville Kitchen Renovation

We recently had the great pleasure of working with clients in Summerville to update their kitchen.  The goal of the project was to keep the kitchen within the existing footprint, and gain storage space while making the kitchen feel more open, airy, and bright.

As you can see the kitchen was VERY Dark - Dark cabinetry, dark floors, inadequate work lighting, and a white tile backsplash and countertop.

In the mid 70's these cabinets were THE thing in Charleston.    Simpson Built cabinets - built to last. But very out of date by todays standards.

The lack of storage space had the homeowners using the countertops as additional storage.

 The finished Renovation.  These cabinets are actually the 2010 version of the original cabinets - built by Mr. Simpsons Son - Cliff Simpson.  The same basic layout was kept - large corner storage cabinets were added into each corner, the cabinets were extended all the way to the ceiling creating a whole extra shelf of storage space.  New appliances were installed from Dacor.  The tile countertop and backsplash were replaced with granite.  The lighting in the kitchen was changed to all recessed lighting with undercabinet lighting throughout the entire kitchen.  Not visible in the photos is a workstation/island in the bay window that easily seats three and adds even more storage.  The floors were resanded and finished slightly lighter than before - brightening up the entire kitchen.
