A Kitchen that Beautifully Blurs the Line Between Outdoors and Indoors
Can you believe that this Kitchen used to be four separate rooms with a closet in the center that housed the furnace? Scroll through our slideshow to see the 'before' photos with their matching 'afters'! Years ago, this client came to us, wanting to explore the idea of demolishing the house and starting new. After further discussion, we decided the best decision was a Kitchen remodel to make their home exactly as they wanted, housing the clients and her mother. The themes of this Kitchen truly reflect the beautiful outdoor garden that the client loves to tend to in her spare time, blurring the line between the outdoor and indoors.
Project Details
Walnut Floating Shelves
These floating shelves made out of Walnut wood are a great pop of natural materials to this painted cabinet kitchen. Floating shelves are also a great way to display beloved possessions or make heavily used cooking items easy to grab.
Baking Center
This client loves to bake and so we made a baking center for her by building the cabinets at a lower height, making it easy to roll out dough and other cooking items. The quartz countertops provide a durable surface that is easy to maintain post-cooking!
Trash/Compost Pull-Out
Rev-A-Shelf has this awesome pull-out drawer addition that includes a trash, recycle, compost, and glass bin for easy waste sorting. This is a great organizing add-on, that is easy for our cabinet maker to install in our custom-built cabinets.
Tile Backsplash
A unique detail for this Kitchen is in the tile backsplash. We gave the large cooktop a pop using a different tile installed in a different pattern. This design idea would also look great with a tile that has lots of special details, if the main backsplash was a neutral design!

What our Clients are Saying
“We are very happy with our new enclosed porch! The design and bidding process was straightforward and thorough, and all aspects of construction - pouring a new slab, framing, installing windows and fixtures, painting, etc. - were completed in a timely manner and with the high standard of quality we wanted. We especially appreciated the extra precautions taken when Covid-19 impinged on the timeline, and the thoroughness of documentation and updating from G. Christianson throughout the process.”
David & Monica Roundy, Corvallis
“My favorite part of this project was working with the designer to incorporate many of the original house design elements and features into the new cabinet design- such as the custom cabinet top molding that matches the same detail in the dining room ceiling. I knew immediately that Sapele was the perfect wood species for the house. It really gives the cabinetry a nice vintage feel and look while maintaining the clean lines and functionality of contemporary high end cabinetry. This project was a great demonstration of the capabilities of our cabinet shop, we couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out. ”
Ron Fishback, Cabinet Maker
See the Mahogany Mid-Century Modern project“We asked Christianson to design and build an entertainment center, a built in bookshelf and a built in desk and credenza. Designer Elizabeth captured our concept and turned it into a beautiful design plan. Ron at the cabinet shop came up with ideas for materials we would have never thought of. All the guys in the cabinet shop got excited about our project and we could tell we were in the hands of skilled craftsman. Jon kept us informed of the timing of construction throughout the project. They truly customized the space and the overall product exceeded our expectations.”
