A Seamless Rustic and Modern Blend
This kitchen uses both rustic and modern elements to create an open and inviting space. After exploring different floor plan options, the final design features maximized storage space by using large pantry-style cabinets with a charming rustic cross pattern in the doors, a large island that contains seating and storage including a lowered dining table on the end, a perfect work triangle between the sink, stove, and refrigerator, and a cute window seat. Unique details such as paneled ends on the refrigerator cabinet, cabinet pulls, and ornate table legs enkindle the desired feel of the Kitchen.
“I can honestly say that I wouldn't have the kitchen that I love if it weren't for Carl! His attention to details made a huge difference, he would notice things that I hadn't even noticed. They do great work and they are good people, from Carl and the office staff to all the subs. ”

Project Details

Creating an Open Floor Plan
These homeowners desired to open up their Kitchen to increase storage space and improve the flow of entertaining guests. We removed the wall containing the cooktop, ovens, and fridge to open the Kitchen into the adjacent room. The result contains increased pantry storage, and a large island that better accommodates guests in the Kitchen.
Wood Countertop Accent
The wood countertop at the island distinguishes the island as an elegant piece of furniture, which ties perfectly into the lowered built-in dining table on the end of the island. Selecting this unique stepped countertop edge completes the desired furniture look.
Egg Divots
Mary loves to bake, so she requested that we add egg divots in the marble countertops to keep her eggs from rolling away. We weren't surprised when Mary took over the Great Harvest Bakery in Corvallis!
Built-in Dining Table
The end of the island features a built-in dining table at the lowered typical table height. It features custom table legs painted to match the cabinetry and the same countertop and edge profile.
Utensil Pullout
This Kitchen is full of cabinetry organization pullouts to ensure all the necessary utensils, trays, spices, etc. are in the most functional location for this avid baker!
Baking Center
This Kitchen features a Baking Center cabinet, which contains wide drawers below for storage, and a concealed countertop that is easily accessible and hidden by large bi-folding doors. This pantry contains the baking essentials - mixers, flour, sugar, measuring tools, etc. and features egg divots in the marble countertop to keep her eggs from rolling away!

What our Clients are Saying
See the Mary’s River Bathroom Addition project“My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the master bedroom/bath remodel undertaken recently for us by G. Christianson Construction. I had a vision and Carl helped make it a reality. Everyone on the G. Christianson team is absolutely top-notch in terms of skills, and just in general being lovely people to have around. Carl seems to have a knack for finding and securing the talents of the best subcontractors, too. We are thrilled with the results of the project. In fact, I would say it turned out even better than we imagined and hoped!”
“We were beyond impressed with the level of professionalism, communication, execution, and customer service from the entire G. Christianson team. Our design meetings were a lot of fun and never felt stressful. In fact, the entire process never felt stressful. When it came time for their team to start construction, everyone was so professional and so nice and always made it a point to make sure we were satisfied. Execution was flawless. There weren’t any surprises, and the cost was exactly what we were told at the beginning. We especially loved the cabinet team, and got to know them well. Additionally, I know that if we were ever to encounter an issue in the future, I can always call the team and know it’ll be taken care of.”
