How We Opened Up and Modernized This Issaquah Kitchen

Project Overview

This Issaquah kitchen renovation completely reimagined the space to improve function, increase storage, and create a sleek, modern look. The original kitchen felt cramped with outdated finishes and low soffits that limited cabinet height.

By starting from scratch, we were able to open up the room, introduce smarter storage, and design a space that feels brighter, bigger, and more inviting.

What the Client Needed

The homeowners wanted a kitchen that would:

  • Feel larger and more open without changing the footprint
  • Add significant storage and counter space
  • Include modern cabinetry with clean lines
  • Improve task and ambient lighting for daily use
  • Tie the whole space together with fresh finishes and trim

Our Approach

We began by gutting the kitchen and removing the soffits, allowing for taller cabinetry. Along the window wall, we added five new cabinets with a full-length countertop for extra storage and workspace.

Brand-new cabinets were installed throughout, paired with under-cabinet lighting to improve visibility and create a warm glow. A dedicated work area was added for versatility, and the entire kitchen was repainted with fresh trim for a crisp, finished look.

The Final Result

The remodeled kitchen now feels open, organized, and thoughtfully designed. Ample storage, improved lighting, and modern finishes have transformed it into a space that’s both functional and beautiful. The homeowners are delighted with the outcome, enjoying a kitchen that works perfectly for everyday living and entertaining.
