After: Reedy stripped the kitchen back and stretched the footprint into the breakfast area, adding 120 square feet. An extra-long island features seating for six on one end and storage on the other. “The peninsula sort of boxed in whoever was entertaining,” Reedy says. “It also didn’t allow for gathering where everyone felt connected. The new island gives them seating all together and creates a walkway that didn’t exist before. They have a pool and grill just steps away outside, so now they also have a more direct path from the outdoors.”
The kitchen’s new palette allowed Reedy to combine the husband’s love of wood tones and limestone with the wife’s affection for bright and light finishes. “We found all of the ivory tones and midtone wood grain and pops of blue checked all the right boxes for both of them,” Reedy says. The island anchors the space in navy blue. The perimeter cabinets are maple in a semitransparent stain. The flooring is 15-by-30-inch limestone-look porcelain tiles in a matte finish. A white ceramic subway tile backsplash and polished marble-look quartz countertops brighten the room.
Backsplash: Cloe in white, 2½ by 8 inches, Bedrosians Tile and Stone; cabinetry: Artisan Maple Bellefonte five-piece in Mariner (island) and Sandbar with a semitransparent stain (perimeter), Wolf Home Products; floor tile: Riverstone in ivory, 15-by-30-inches, Castille, Floor & Decor; paint colors: Whitetail (walls and ceiling) and Navajo White (trim), Sherwin-Williams
