Volume 2: February

A Special Update to a Classic

This month we are sharing a unique kitchen we lovingly call the Blue Plate Special.

Read through to the bottom for a sweet Valentine's treat.

The clients purchased this 100-year-old Craftsman for its charm and character. However, none of that was in place in their 1980s kitchen. A leak from an upstairs bathroom caused them to fast track their kitchen remodel which proved to be a big undertaking.

 

With a love for vintage styling and a fondness for handcrafted materials, we mixed bold, simple, and classic elements. Adding an island with seating for everyone gives them a place to come together for baking, eating, and good old story time.

 

The paneled appliances playdown the high-tech feel of stainless. While the tiled vent hood adds character and enhances the ceiling height.

Friends and family can gather in the kitchen, sit down for a meal in the open dining room, or continue out to the backyard through their relocated French doors.

 

Sharing one of our favorites

 

During a "normal" year, we like to get together with our girlfriends and celebrate Galentines. Even though we can't spend time together in the way we would like, we are still going to enjoy the treats! Being mindful of dietary preferences and needs, this tart from Bakerita has become a favorite. It's an elevated and tempting twist on chocolate covered strawberries.

If baking isn't your thing, we highly recommend Flying Apron here in Seattle for delicious Valentine's brunch.
