Client Story
“This project blends accessibility, function, and elegant design – creating a kitchen that feels as good as it looks.”
Bonnycastle - Custom Kitchen in Lindenwoods
Neighbourhood: Lindenwoods
This kitchen renovation reimagined the heart of the home by removing two structural walls to create seamless flow between the kitchen and dining room. At the center of the space: a nearly 15-foot kitchen island – a stunning focal point and multifunctional gathering hub.
Built for beauty and practicality, the kitchen features custom alder cabinetry by Millstone Cabinet Co., panel-ready fridge and freezer units integrated into the pantry wall, and abundant storage throughout.
Design highlights include:
- Tambour wood accents on the island
- Custom built-in dining banquette
- Panel-ready appliances for a sleek, cohesive look
- Warm, modern finishes and thoughtful colour pairing
