Artist’s Retreat
Artist's Retreat
The homeowners love the Pacific Northwest forest feel of their location and wanted to bring those elements into their Kitchen. We removed their peninsula-style Kitchen and completely transformed the look, function and size. The full-height backsplash tile is a clean look that brings in color and frames the view out of the windows. We also transformed the unfinished shed into an art studio, providing a functional retreat for the homeowners.
“The house is so comfortable and welcoming and I feel very privileged to live in such a lovely place. The Aeroseal was a major advantage. Considering the house was partly constructed out of toothpicks, it is now a warm house, which is easy to heat. Also, we get ZERO insects in the house! ”

Project Details
Maximum Storage
Our designer adapted the kitchen design to the existing window locations and placed lower cabinets below the larger window to increase the counters and storage space.
Corner Pull-out
In order to solve the problem of unused corner cabinet space, we often install a Kessebohmer LeMans storage organizer. This cabinet organizer swings the contents out in front for ease of access. We also installed a large window behind the sink to maximize daylight and take advantage of the view of the tranquil landscape.
Art Studio
We converted the existing shed into a fully heated, insulated, functional art studio. Barn doors were replaced with beautiful French doors, creating a more accessible entrance. The rafters were painted blue to match the floor, creating a cohesive look.
What our Clients are Saying
“We decided that we wanted to update several features in order to gain an energy efficient house that would be appealing in appearance. We couldn't be happier with the design, planning and construction process. While not everything goes perfectly, any problems were handled promptly. We worked closely with a designer and had regular progress meetings with the VP/project manager. Even the owner of the company, Carl was closely involved with the project. If you want an energy efficient, well designed and well executed remodel or new construction, I would highly recommend G. Christianson Construction.”

“We could not have been happier with our experience working with G. Christianson. Super organized. Professional. Super high quality work. Responsive. Kind and generous. We had one point of discussion that was handled quickly, professionally and with equanimity. Our kitchen remodel has changed our home, not only structurally but how we live here. And that could not have been done without the good folks from G. Christianson.”
