Sometimes it’s hard to look past an outdated home to see it’s full potential! Not the case for this client, who hired Clearwood Homes to renovate this older town home. With their helpful guidance, the space has been re-worked to reflect the new owner’s lifestyle and tastes. What a transformation!

The client already liked the layout of the working triangle of this kitchen, but wanted to really make the remaining cabinets as functional and organized as possible, while updating the look. The new design incorporated as many drawers as possible.

Bumping the cabinets to the ceiling and going with white cabinets, gives this north-facing kitchen a fresh, bright look! A matching built-in bar/hutch was done in the dining area as well, offering even more storage for the client.

This townhouse from the 70’s screamed potential, it just needed the right homeowners to unleash it! From drab to dazzling, this small outdated kitchen was transformed into a bright and clean-lined beauty! Glossy white cabinets, enhanced by elongated handles and grey countertops, opens up the space for maximum functionality for this growing family.

The shape of the space, proximity of the stairwell, and the location of the windows proved to be a challenge when approaching the design of this kitchen. The client loves the view of Mt Baker from her sink, and did not want it to move. By borrowing space from a hall closet, and opening the kitchen to the dining area, we were able to improve on the function while updating the look.

Who says “small and economical” can’t be functional and stylish? Design student Kendra Redekop cleverly combines space saving features such as a microwave/hood fan combo and a double-oven slide in range, to maximize every inch of space while adding functionality.

Putting extra thought into the remaining space ensures that the kitchen is well planned. A little bit of elbow room between the range and fridge makes a much better work space, as well as nicely accommodating the coffee maker. Having the dishwasher to the left of the sink avoids congestion in the corner, and allows for a bank of drawers.

Good colour selection takes this simple kitchen to the next level, without adding to a lot to the cost. Choosing linen cabinets instead of stark white compliments the dark wood flooring beautifully. Stylish pulls, a modern back splash design and task lighting add to the overall look. The kitchen is finished off with granite countertops, which were remnants from a multi-family project. The resourceful student jumped at the chance to have granite countertops and developed her design based on that.

Out with the old and in with the new!

New cabinets, flooring and paint transform an out of date 1970’s home into a great starter home in Mission! Design student Kendra Redekop pulled together a stylish colour scheme to create a modern update for this older home, and then rolled up her sleeves to make it happen!

When it came time to renovate their kitchen, this couple wanted to maintain the character of their vintage farmhouse home. Combining our “Mission” doors with traditional features such as plate racks, pot racks and turned posts at the sink, in a painted finish gives this country kitchen the added charm it needed to compliment this historical Abbotsford home.
