How this Snohomish kitchen came together
The goal
The kitchen had honey oak cabinets, a black range and a bay window that held nothing but a floor vent. The plan was a bright white kitchen with more closed storage, and a reason to sit in that window.
The challenge
The room is long and narrow, with the refrigerator on one wall, the sink in an L under a window and the bay at the far end. New cabinets had to add storage without closing the room in, and the window seat had to fit the angled bay while leaving the floor vent in front of it clear.
The solution
The old cabinets came out on the first day. White shaker base and wall cabinets went in along the L, and a wall of tall pantry cabinets was built around the refrigerator so it sits flush with the storage beside it. In the bay, we built a paneled seat across the full width of the window with a hinged lid, so the inside is one large storage box. The white veined counters followed and the refrigerator went back in place, then a stainless undermount sink, a new faucet and a gray glass mosaic backsplash. Recessed lights replaced the old ceiling fixtures.
The result
The kitchen is white from end to end, the refrigerator wall doubles as a pantry, and the bay window is now a seat with storage that looks out over the yard.

Questions about this project
Can a bay window seat have storage inside it?
Yes. This one is a paneled box built across the bay with a hinged lid on top, so the whole seat opens for storage. It stops short of the floor vent in the bay, so the vent stays open in front of the seat.
How long did this Snohomish kitchen take?
About three weeks, from the day the old cabinets came out to the finished room.
How much did this project cost?
About $60,000. Every project is priced in writing, line by line, for your home.
