Historic Craftsman Kitchen and Laundry Room Remodel in Everett, WA

Homeowner Needs

The homeowners of this historic 1925 Craftsman were eager to transform their kitchen, which had fallen into disrepair. The space suffered from deteriorating elements, including chipped and damaged cabinetry, outdated tile, and neglected countertops and flooring. Poor space planning added to the inefficiency, with the range awkwardly isolated on one wall, the refrigerator partially blocking the entry from the dining room, and insufficient storage creating workflow challenges. Moreover, the existing kitchen design failed to complement the historical charm and character of the home.

Remodeling Solution

To transform this historic 1925 Craftsman kitchen into a functional and beautiful space, we began by repositioning the stove and oven into the main kitchen area, greatly improving the layout and workflow. A custom-crafted vent hood now serves as a striking centerpiece, combining elegance with practicality.

The cabinetry was updated with full-height shaker-style custom cabinets in a classic blue-and-white palette, blending historic charm with a modern touch. The design was elevated with durable MSI Quartz Calacatta Laza countertops, a stunning Arizona Tile Paloma Bevel backsplash in Pumice, and Coretec Red River Hickory flooring, all tied together with timeless finishes such as Amerock matte black hardware.

To ensure continuity, the adjoining laundry room was also renovated to complement the kitchen’s refreshed aesthetic, creating a seamless transition between the spaces.

Result

The redesigned kitchen seamlessly blends smart cabinetry and a more efficient layout, enhancing both functionality and enjoyment. Thoughtful finishes and design elements bring warmth and style, making it a welcoming gathering spot that celebrates the home’s character and history.
