A thoughtfully renovated kitchen where natural light was treated as a core design element from the very beginning. Removing an interior wall allowed light from exterior windows to reach further into the space, while existing skylights were carefully integrated into the new layout rather than worked around. An island replaced the old peninsula, improving flow and keeping the host connected to guests through a conveniently placed island sink. Grain-matched wood veneer island cabinetry, quartz countertops, and dark hardware create a cohesive palette that brings the entire kitchen together. A new life for this once dated kitchen.
