Addition by Subtraction
Project Highlights
- Designed by Becky Sue Becker, CKD and contractors Jack and Lesley Norman, this open floor plan remodel was achieved by removing stubborn pre-existing structural obstacles – such as the wall that divided the cramped kitchen and nook areas.
- The Cottage-style design theme provides a warm charm that meshes with the architecture of the home. It is highlighted by custom linen white-painted cabinetry combined with honed Absolute Black granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
- Workflow was drastically enhanced with the removal of the old kitchen peninsula, which was replaced by a generous 8' island that allows for 4' of walkway to accommodate multiple cooks.
- Becker maximized the lighting in the space through the use of natural light, recessed cans with low-voltage halogen lamps and xenon undercabinet lights.
- Product lineup: Custom cabinetry by Georgia Cabinets & Millworks; honed Absolute Black granite countertops from G&L Marble; Rev-a-Shelf swing out spice rack; Kohler undermount prep sink; GE built-in microwave, GE Monogram oven and refrigerator/freezer, and U-Line icemaker; satin nickel knobs and cub pulls by Hardware Resources; and lighting from Design Lighting.
