Chef's Delight
Traditional Kitchen, Vancouver
CCI Renovations/North Vancouver/Photos - Derek Lepper
This outdated 60’s kitchen was starved for storage and working space. The new kitchen features an island with a butcher block topped, eating bar and attached table. Relocating the fridge relieved congestion at the mud room entrance and allowed the installation of larger east facing windows. Above the new desk, a stainless steel tambour door hides a flat screen TV visible from both the kitchen and family room. A new baking center was created with wall ovens, microwave and tall pantry storage. On the island, a one piece stainless steel counter and sink provide a restaurant grade food prep area opposite the cook top. Large, heated, brick laid slate floors lead the eye to a new patio door. An off-centre support beam was paired with a maple clad air handling duct. At the cooking center the thin brick backsplash is a warm counterpoint to the contemporary granite counters, stainless steel appliances, pendant lights and lighted, glass fronted maple shaker cabinets.
