This beautiful oceanside home was in need of a kitchen as stylish and functional as its surroundings. The original layout was awkward and inefficient, with limited light and storage. The homeowners envisioned a bright, cheerful space designed for cooking, entertaining, and relaxing weekends with family.
Strategic design changes made a big impact. Smaller, higher-set windows on either side of the custom hood let in natural light while preserving privacy from nearby neighbors. A glass door with integrated blinds added both light and control.
Clutter-free living was a top priority. Hidden trash and recycling, a concealed water jug, and clever internal pull-outs made for a streamlined, organized space. Matching panels on the refrigerator and dishwasher replaced stainless steel, lending a seamless, luxurious look. Waterfall quartz countertops with soft tan veining added sophistication and ease of maintenance—perfect for a busy second home.
The island became the heart of the kitchen, blending beauty and function with ample workspace, hidden storage, and comfortable seating oriented toward the ocean view. A microwave/convection oven, beverage fridge, and organized corner cabinets added modern convenience.
Layered lighting—recessed, under-cabinet, and a statement pendant—on dimmers, allowed for flexible ambiance. A custom quartz backsplash and shelf below the hood kept key spices and oils accessible, with warm oak accents tying everything together.
Soft wood tones, bright cabinetry, and thoughtfully integrated features created the serene, functional retreat the homeowners dreamed of—an ideal space for making memories by the sea.
