Today I wrapped up #projectparkside with a client that I will truly miss working with. She waited a long time to remodel her kitchen and if anyone deserves a new place to cook it is her! Her children have food allergies that require her to prepare almost all of her meals at home. Do you hear that folks…she has to cook almost everything, so no more complaining like I do most nights when I am cooking dinner! This mom takes so much pleasure in preparing meals for her family that it makes me want to cook like that again for mine. She inherited the original kitchen that was dark and had outdated formica and linoleum floors. Since she does spend so much time in this space, the current layout of the island made her feel like she was isolated. The job called for a total gut and the only thing that we saved was the microwave! Her wish was to have a light and bright blue and white kitchen that included a range with two ovens. She also wanted tile floors and resisted my attempts to have her run hardwoods through it. I am glad she stuck to her vision, because we found a pretty fabulous hex tile that warms this beautiful kitchen. The kitchen is not a large space so we partnered with CKS to make it as efficient as possible with some extra hidden storage space.
This client was pure joy to work with and we had so much fun! She is so full of positive energy and always tries to find the humor or bright spot in any situation. I feel so lucky that I had the opportunity to work with her and her lovely family.

This transformation is absolutely gorgeous! I am so jealous. Can you come do this for me 🙂
Thank you, Anna! You will get your dream kitchen soon!
Wow! That is pretty amazing. So much white really makes it look bigger and fresh.
At least I know what my wife spends her business hours doing haha.
Thank you, Mac! Yes her kitchen was so dark before that she wanted a super sunny space to work in. I am sure Anna was on her lunch break when she was looking at this :)!
What an amazing transformation!!!
What a lucky family to have such a happy and inviting kitchen!
Thank you, Lisa!
