Before & After: Inspiration for “Out of the Darkness” Kitchen Remodel

When the homeowner’s decided to gut this dark and cramped kitchen, they started the process by gathering photos of kitchens and finishes that spoke to them—creating an “inspiration binder” to organize their needs and desires for their new kitchen. They brought their inspiration photos (which the found from a variety of sources on the Internet) to their first consultation with us and explained which details they wanted to incorporate into their new space. This was a huge help in establishing the design, layout and general direction of this kitchen remodel.
