Double Dormer Kitchen Reveal

The most important part of a home to us is the kitchen! Hands down! Whenever I plan a kitchen renovation Montreal, I ALWAYS make sure I go over every inch of the plans to ensure the end result is perfect. While a beautiful Master suite, and great living room are fantastic to have, the kitchen is the heart of the home. And yes, I believe that is true even for those who don’t like to cook. Because let’s be honest, take-out containers still go in the kitchen first, right?!

So here is what we were starting with for the kitchen in Double Dormer:

And this is what we ended up with:

There were some pretty big changes that took place. For starters we really opened up the room in two ways. One, we removed the soffits and that added SO much height to the kitchen. We also removed almost all the upper cabinets. Now sometimes that can make me nervous because then where do I put all my junk! I mean, I like to cook, so I have a lot of kitchen gadgets. BUT this kitchen has plenty of lower cabinet space, and an amazing Pantry right by it- so the open shelving is a great fit for this home!

Some other big things we did was add the subway tile backsplash everywhere. It makes such a bold statement having the backsplash not only go so high, and be so visible, but also to have it fully wrap around the bay window {one of my favorite things!!} is amazing. It looks brilliantly put together, and the bay window certainly draws the eye, hopefully, it will stand the test of time but if we have any issues with it then we may look into something like a bay window replacement service to see how they can spruce it up if needed.

For the counters we went with a white Silestone and it’s rad because it is literally pure white. Most counters we have used in the past have some movement to them, but this one is just clean and white! Such a great contrast to the pitch-black cabinets! If you are thinking about changing your counters to something similar to this but with your own design twist, you may want to click here to visit Francostone for free to view their range or check out your local remodeling store to see how they may be able to help you.

Lets just talk for a minute about my all time favorite part of this kitchen. Hands down- the brass hood. I mean, does it get better than that? Truly?! I don’t think so. This thing is such a statement in the kitchen and is what your eye is drawn to immediately when you glance over at the kitchen from the front door. I am determined to take good care of it, too. I know when you cook frequently cooker hoods become dirty, which is why companies like Hoodz of Providence and many more are available to keep hoods like mine as clean as they can be.

We loved using the classic apron sink in here as well. The design of that, on top of the awesome function of having a big open sink just can’t be beat! Ready for some sources?
