Vashon Island Wingehaven Kitchen Remodel

This family had the illustrious open concept floor plan, but it was just too open in the kitchen area. The small powder room opened right onto the dining area. There was not a lot of pantry storage, and the mudroom didn’t work hard enough for this family on 3 acres on Vashon Island.

Harpole Home's Vashon Island Kitchen Remodel

Harpole Home reoriented the kitchen entirely by moving the oven out of the island to create ample seating in the new island, right where the cooking action is. We upgraded all of the appliances to professional grade. We created an area for family members seeking snacks, out of the way when the foodies are cooking. It has a drawer fridge for little ones to grab snacks, an espresso maker, and a wine fridge for guests to help themselves.

With the new wall, it pulled the kitchen farther out of the West end of the floor plan. Now there was room to create a comfy banquette for casual dining. On the opposite side of the new wall, we were able to expand the powder room to a full bathroom and increase the mudroom which holds additional pantry space.
