Open Concept Kitchen Remodel in Edmonds, WA

Homeowner Needs

Like many family kitchens we remodel, this space featured a mismatched assortment of appliances, cabinets, and countertops. The homeowners wanted a fresh design that improved the flow, maximized natural light, and created a welcoming environment for dining and socializing with family and friends.

Remodeling Solution

To transform the kitchen into a bright, open space, we began by removing the wall between the kitchen and living room, replacing it with a Glulam support beam. The raised ceiling and extra-long island, installed where the wall once stood, created a seamless flow between the two spaces.

We replaced the original square floor tiles with Ilva’s 12×24” Burlington stone tiles in light gray, adding underfloor heating for cozy comfort on chilly days. To brighten the space, we installed white Shaker-style cabinetry with squared hardware, paired with matching stainless steel appliances, a sink, and a faucet for a modern touch.

Open hickory wood bookshelves on the island echo floating shelves above the stovetop, complemented by the raw-wood finish of the Glulam beam for warmth and texture. A white hex tile backsplash extending from counter to ceiling contrasts beautifully with darker gray quartz countertops, while the island features light granite with subtle veining, creating a perfect balance of style and function.

Result

This kitchen remodel transformed the space from outdated to stylish while maximizing functionality and creating a welcoming hub for dining and socializing at the heart of the home.

We’re especially proud of this kitchen, which was showcased on the 2017 Seattle Remodeled Homes Tour!
