Smart, Custom Kitchen Remodeling
Posted December 17th, 2008 by PaigeI love to cook and bake, so logically, I end up spending a lot of time in the kitchen. I’ve had houses with small kitchens, houses with big kitchens, houses with gas stoves, houses with electric. From all these kitchen experiences, I kind of know what I like from kitchen spaces now. So, when I see a well designed kitchen, I really do appreciate it.
In this Chrysalis Award winning kitchen remodel, KitchenMagic, a custom refacing and cabinetry company, designed a room that made a smart use of space that is not only functional, but livable.
All the custom cabinetry allows for perfect storage solutions, which is essential to the functionality of a kitchen.
Also in this picture, you’ll notice the cool round windows. The window placement was chosen to maximize the natural light. When designing a room remodel, or looking at new houses, natural light should always be a major consideration. Just look how light and airy this kitchen seems…the amount of natural light is a major factor in that.
But perhaps my favorite part of this kitchen is the island. The Zodiac quartz countertops are great, but I like the design mostly because it’s the perfect blend of function and design. The island is foremost a work area, but it is one that also allows for socializing. Having a kitchen island that doubles as a bar is perfect for company while prepping dinner, or for a laid back family breakfast. The kitchen is a place where the family gathers, so making an appealing space that draws people in is a major bonus.
While I have more of a quirky personal sense of home design, this kitchen offers a sleek, traditional look that most homeowners would likely love. It’s a great starting point for considering your own new kitchen remodel.

A kitchen should be well designed. It is not the matter of big kitchen or small kitchen, whether it is small or big, the design is important and its functionality. KitchenMagic designs are excellent.
Thanks for posting

While I also liked the kitchen, I was surprised that the island was so stark compared to the rest of the cabinetry and the house.
I would have liked to have seen some end panels (to compliment the panels on the cabinets and perhaps something of a tuscan column (scaled down and proportional, of course with a nice plinth) at the ends of the island to complement the Tuscan columns at the entry to the kitchen. It that is too neo-classic, then a fluted column or rustic column to go with the style of the rest of the home.

The kitchen is gorgeous!! Another great idea to really recession proof your kitchen is to have Tupperware storage containers in your cabinet and fridge. These containers will save you sooooo much money in food that is not thrown away!! I would love to talk to any of you more about this service we provide.
