Glam Gourmet

Our client knew they wanted to move their kitchen to their unused dining room and create a large open plan design.  Our client also knew she wanted to add a little bling!

Our client’s budget was initially too low for their goals, which we discussed at our first meeting.  To help them understand the budgets, we created several different space plans that included different sized kitchen spaces along with correlating prices for the proposed kitchens. This was to show them how the size of the kitchen and the number of cabinets would affect the overall cost of the project.  The fact that they wanted to move the whole kitchen 10 feet added an undeniable cost that could not be negotiated, so the quantity of products, as well as the quality of those products, had to dictate the budget. Once they picked their plan and understood that the budget was going to be higher, MDG then moved forward with the selection process.

We wanted the backsplash to stick out as a large focal point.  With the addition of some pantry cabinets, there was no need for the upper cabinets along the stove wall.  Instead, we took the opportunity to add the tile “bling” to the project.  This stone and metal backsplash created a show-stopping feature that set the tone for the rest of the kitchen.  The simple, warm grey palette with the gold was a warmer palette than the typical grey offerings at the time.  The stylish light fixtures, appropriate furnishings, textural window treatments and the pop of color art finish a clean and contemporary space.
