Our task was to redesign a family kitchen within the design aesthetic of this original 1940′s Cape Cod style home in the Altadena foothills. Working within a very compact space, careful attention was given to the finish choices and appliance placement. For the kitchen, use of a white painted cabinetry gave the space an open and light feeling. The dishwasher and refrigerator were built into the space using the same painted cabinetry panels; this eliminated visual clutter in an effort to keep the space simple and streamlined.
