Kitchen Remodel with Cabinet Expansion in Mukilteo, WA

This original kitchen in Mukilteo had great potential, but the layout didn’t take full advantage of the space. Storage was limited, the workflow felt tight, and the overall design made the kitchen feel smaller than it really was. The homeowners loved the look of dark cabinetry and wanted to keep those rich tones while transforming the space into something more functional and visually striking.

To make that vision possible, we made structural improvements that completely changed how the kitchen works. The deck and door leading to the deck were relocated, which opened up valuable wall space and allowed us to add significantly more cabinetry. Once the framing was completed, we repositioned the refrigerator to the opposite side of the kitchen and relocated the farmhouse sink, creating a much larger and more comfortable cooking zone.

The new kitchen centers around custom inset shaker cabinetry in a deep, dramatic tone, paired with Jeffrey Alexander hardware that adds a refined contrast. One of the most distinctive features of the space is the custom range hood, carefully designed to match the cabinetry and become a focal point of the kitchen.

After installing the cabinetry and 3cm quartz countertops, we completed the backsplash with marble subway tile, accented with a subtle gold trim that ties together the cabinetry hardware, fixtures, and hood details. The result brings warmth, texture, and a high-end finish to the entire space.

One of the best parts of this kitchen remodeling project is that the homeowners were away on vacation during construction. When they returned home, the transformation was a complete surprise.
