Beaverton Kitchen & Flooring Project
Every home has that one space that almost works. For this Beaverton project, it was the kitchen and surrounding floors. Storage felt tight, movement felt off, and the finishes no longer matched how the space was actually being used. The goal wasn’t to make it bigger but to make it work better, feel brighter, and bring everything together into a space the family could naturally gather in every day.
The Kitchen
In this kitchen remodel project, our goals were to overcome a lack of storage, kitchen functionality and design a fresh, elegant and Revived look. Our clients came to us with a few different problems.
They needed more storage space without changing the kitchen footprint, increased functionality, a family dining island for better connection, updated plumbing and fresh paint, all while keeping a spacious and open concept floor plan.
Below are the solutions we designed along with our client.
Custom Cabinets Designed Around Daily Use
Our cabinet designer helped design custom cabinets with additional storage space and address existing storage issues that could be improved based on how our client typically liked to move around and utilize her kitchen.
Telescopic Downdraft for a Cleaner, Open Kitchen
Instead of a space hog hood vent, we installed a telescopic downdraft to maintain the open feel of the kitchen.
Induction Cooktop for Safer, Faster Cooking
The Induction cooktop is a great option for superior safety against burns, better cook time, and energy efficiency in comparison to the traditional gas or electric cooktops.
Upgraded Plumbing with Long-Lasting PEX Lines
We upgraded plumbing fixtures and supply lines to PEX, to prevent future breakdowns and greatly extend the life of the plumbing lines. PEX has been used and proven since the 1960’s in Europe and 30 years since its adoption in the United States. It is the plumbing line of choice of plumbers and is comparable only to copper in terms of durability.
A Balanced Color Palette That Warms the Space
Our grey wall paint color was selected to accent the white cabinet and highlight the grain and color of the warm Maple flooring.
Durable, Low-Maintenance Quartz Countertops
Quartz Countertops are among the most durable of countertop materials for indoor use. It is highly scratch- and shatter-resistant and never has to be sealed.
A Fully Realized Kitchen Built for Everyday Living
In the end, this full gut kitchen project utilizing Thermador Kitchen appliances, cocoa white cabinets, a black island, and a subway tile, Herringbone style backsplash, and #1 grade Maple for the new floors is a space that we hope our clients will make many memories in and enjoy for many years to come.
Flooring
Our client’s problem included a beloved furry friend that had left deep divets in the existing Maple floors over the years, and two of the rooms had carpet that had seen better days. As the flooring was an add-on from our client, we had to be conscious of budget as well.
We refinished the existing Maple floors on the first floor and tied in the two new rooms that were previously carpeted with newly installed Maple flooring.
We stayed within our client’s budget by installing a flooring border design that kept each room as its own individual space and circumvented having to weave new flooring into the old floor, piece by piece.
The Result: A Space Built for Family, Function, and Comfort
Our clients have a space where they can have more connected family time at their Island dining area, better-designed storage, faster and safer cooking, more modern and efficient appliances, an elegant and bright kitchen, and a beautiful floor. We hope they enjoy this new kitchen for many years to come!
