1908 Restoration Arts & Crafts Kitchen
(Oak hardwood & painted birch plywood construction; Brazilian cherry hardwood countertops)
Room size: approx. 16ft. long x 13ft. wide

A client in the historic Angelino Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles wished to completely restore her existing kitchen and pantry to look like the original 1908 kitchen yet be functionally modern. Everything was gutted, down to the lath and original flooring, and new electrical, plumbing, wallboard and cabinetry constructed. The restored kitchen now includes a built-in banquette and trestle table for dining as well as fully restored appliances.

Japanese-Style Kitchen
(Cherry hardwood & plywood construction)
Room Size: approx 16ft long x 8ft wide

A widely traveled couple from Pasadena, CA wanted a highly functional yet beautiful kitchen that reflected their years of living in Japan.  The result included tansu chests with sliding doors, wrought iron hardware, undercounter lighting and a hide-away breakfast table.

1920s-Style Kitchen
(Cherry hardwood countertops & birch plywood construction)
Room Size: approx 17ft long x 12ft wide

A creative Los Angeles family renovated an old 1920s era, 2-story bungalow in the inner city to look much like it would have when it was original. We designed the cabinets in the style of the period, complete with pewter hand pulls and pantry with wire mesh doors. Original mouldings were copied and installed to complete the look.

Mediterranean-Style Kitchen
(Alder hardwood & plywood construction)
Room Size: approx 14ft long x 15ft wide

Solid mahogany cabinets were not in the budget of a young Los Angeles couple building a new house. The solution was to construct cabinets from alder and stain them to look like mahogany.

Contemporary-Style Kitchen
(Maple hardwood countertops & birch plywood construction)
Room Size: approx 18ft long x 9ft wide

An Altadena, CA couple, on a very tight budget, wanted to gut their old kitchen in their 1920s era home and replace everything from plumbing to electrical to cabinetry and flooring. We suggested painted birch cabinets and maple butcher-block counters, plus built-in banquets in the dining area. The resulting look is a blend of contemporary styling with touches of 1920s hominess. The project was completed in 6 weeks and on budget.

Remodeling a small condo kitchen from the bare walls out on a limited budget, this Los Angeles homeowner chose a modern look that is durable and mobile - hard maple butcher-block counters, easily cleaned laminate doors and drawers, and a kitchen island on casters.
