Blending vintage charm with subtle nods to the Southwest, this kitchen renovation was a bold exploration of color and character. Worn brick-look tile, a striking glass backsplash, original artwork, and a custom-painted pantry create a perfectly balanced palette that transformed the space. Structural challenges were tackled head-on, from leveling a 3-inch hump in the kitchen floor to reworking hidden mechanicals and electrical systems. We reimagined the pantry area, converting a closet and desk into a stylish bar and an open-concept pantry. Custom cabinetry, a shiplap ceiling, and a shaped marble backsplash add layers of texture and craftsmanship, while thoughtful details—like restored brass backplates for the pantry hardware and curated styling elements—infuse the space with personality. This project is a true celebration of timeless design with a Southwest twist.
