From Dated to Contemporary - A Manhattan Kitchen Transformation

A classic tiny, tiny, tiny prewar galley kitchen in Manhattan, this beauty was a diamond in the rough. Small, dark and outdated, it badly need a make-over! At 7 x 10 feet overall, we were tremendously concerned with space. In the renovation, the one thing we couldn't do was add space. However, we added many signature space saving touches and custom design solutions that make this feel and function like a much bigger kitchen. We ripped out everything and started fresh. Beginning with the porcelain wood floor, Cancos Tile Albero Wenge, and ending with the dropped ceiling for recessed lighting, we set the stage for a completely couture galley kitchen. Using a white palette to enlarge the space with contrasting stainless appliances and the Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo countertops to bring a touch of the grey and realistic marble veining we transformed this ugly duckling into a classic yet contemporary gem. The custom 3-inch shaker style cabinets feature soft close drawers and doors, and space saving tricks like a sink tilt out, garbage roll outs, and spice rack. The end result: a perfect Manhattan galley kitchen!
