1929 Art Deco kitchen remodel in Glendale
This kitchen had been remodeled by a previous owner who had installed a lower ceiling to hide new plumbing installed for the bathroom above; as well as the oak cabinets and appliances. This ceiling height made the space Closter phobic for the current husband who is tall. The oak cabinets made the room dark in spite of the 2 large windows. The home owners and I discussed the options for the space. The basic configuration was fine at the cooking end of the room, but storage was lacking and the 48” wide hood was oversized for the cooktop. The other end of the room had an oak table and chairs for casual dining in front of a nice window. The opposite wall had a desk with cabinet storage above used for fine china and serving pieces. The existing wood flooring was to remain.
We concluded that the cabinets should be white to brighten up the space and that the ceiling should be raised as much as possible. We agreed on which base cabinets and wall cabinets should be replaced and that the remaining could be painted. We agreed that all the cabinets should receive new Shaker style white doors and drawer fronts. Much needed storage was achieved with corner lazy Susan’s and deep drawers in the base cabinets. Two new upper cabinets were added on either side of the new microwave/hood with pullouts for spices. The new and existing wall cabinets received a 3 step, Art Deco style crown. All the cabinet pulls are brushed nickel with a curve shape as a nod to the original Art Deco style of the house. The existing stainless dishwasher, wall ovens and side-by-side refrigerator remained. A new undermount sink and faucet was installed.
