Going Green in the Kitchen

This is not your grandmother’s avocado kitchen!

Green kitchen cabinets have been popping up all over the design blogs and there’s good reason why.  Green is a symbol of growth, energy and nature. It is full of calming properties.  It pairs beautifully with marble counters and the ever so popular marble looking quartz stones. We love to see emerald green cabinets with brushed brass hardware (swoon!).  Making the overall aesthetic the perfect mix of classic, modern, sophisticated and timeless.  

There’s a whole world of cleverly named green paints out there. November Rain, Snip of Parsley, Mown Grass and Forrest Green to name a few. 

Hubley Painting and Carpentry can make it very easy going green. Our cabinet crew is ready to paint your cabinets and bring new life to your kitchen. The only hard part will be deciding which green to pick.

Milton Client Makes their House a Home

Our clients moved into a beautiful home in Milton.  It offered lots of space for entertaining and for their growing family but the house needed updates and some customization to meet the needs of the homeowners.  The Hubley team worked hard to transform this house into the space our clients envisioned.

Throughout the house, the floors were given a darker stain.  In the foyer, the post at the bottom of the railing was customized for a more contemporary look and a coat of paint was added to the walls to freshen the space.

The original kitchen was beautifully designed with lots of storage and prep space but the homeowners wanted it to feel brighter and more open.  The cabinets were painted and new counters and backsplash were installed to achieve this look.  Crown molding was added to the soffits to give the kitchen more stature.

The home had a great pantry space but it wasn’t functional for the homeowners. We think the end result is beautiful and offers so much usable storage for this family.

The living room boasts the biggest transformation.  Updates to the coiffured ceiling and the built-ins make this space look amazing.  We love how the cabinetry beautifully incorporates the windows.  The custom features of this room makes it look grand and more befitting of this home.

The third floor was unfinished when the home was purchased.  Flooring was put in, drywall hung, baseboards added and railings installed.  Built-in cabinetry at one end of the room will be ideal for toys, media equipment or storage depending on how the homeowners choose to use this new space.

In the bedroom, our carpenters updated built-ins to make the storage more functional for the homeowners and incorporated the TV into the space for some late night binge watching.

Hubley painting can customize your space so it meets the needs of your family and feels more like home.

Repurposing a Kitchen Space

A Farmhouse Kitchen

Last spring we had the privilege of partnering with Bees Knees Interior Design on one of our client projects.  Anne-Marie, the homeowner, wanted to open and lighten up her kitchen as well as add design elements that brought some farmhouse character to the space.  We think it turned out fantastic!

Carpentry Details

Our carpenter’s work can be seen throughout this room.  In order to give the homeowner some more space in the kitchen, an additional cabinet was added which features open shelving and a plate rack and closed storage below.  The island was extended, widened and given a new façade to add to the character of the space.  Every farmhouse kitchen needs a farmhouse sink so our carpenter repurposed the cabinet to to allow for the sink.

The room feels taller with the addition of the soffit over the cabinets drawing the eye right up to the ceiling.  We love how the Bees carried the soffit over the slider and framed the view with beautiful curtains that give a nod to the island.  On the other side of the curtains, a narrow bank of cabinets was built to balance the space.

 

A range hood blends seamlessly with the cabinetry replacing the microwave which was given a new home in a cabinet beside refrigerator.  Finally, we love addition of the sweet corbels below all the upper cabinets.

Open Concept

Our crew opened this wall to allow a better view into the kitchen from the dining room.  With such a beautiful kitchen, who wouldn’t want it to be viewed from every spot in the house.
