Challenge
The original kitchen was closed off from the rest of the first floor, with dark cabinets, worn counters, and a cramped work triangle that made cooking for more than one person difficult.

Case study
How this project came together
Solution
We reworked the layout, replaced cabinets with a cleaner, more functional configuration, swapped counters and backsplash for durable everyday materials, and brought the lighting up to current standards so the room works day and night.
Outcomes
- Open sightline from the kitchen into the adjacent living space
- Clear prep + cook + cleanup zones with real counter runs
- Finish palette that fits a Clifton home without feeling dated in five years
