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
“Carl came up with a few different designs to shade the front windows from sun during the summer. The designs were done with software that could show the amount of shading and view from different angles, including from inside the house, at different times of the year. This was very helpful in visualizing the designs and making decisions.”
Brian Lee, Corvallis
“We live in an historic district and Elizabeth did a great job preparing a design which complements our house. She facilitated a smooth historic preservation permit approval. Building a carpentry shop raises a number of non-standard construction issues. Carl patiently answered our many questions. His knowledge of energy efficiency practices was very helpful. Ron, who runs the cabinet shop, provided invaluable insights regarding layout, power needs, etc. Ben and the entire G. Christianson Construction crew were reliable, on time, and hardworking. It was a pleasure to work with Carl, Elizabeth, Ben and the rest of the team. The end result is a beautiful and functional shop – a dream come true. ”

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.”
