The original kitchen was enclosed and segmented, with low ceilings, limited daylight, and perimeter cabinetry that made the space feel tight and dated. Small window openings and a single exterior door restricted both circulation and connection to the outdoors. See before and after slider below.
The remodel opens the plan and introduces a vaulted ceiling with a large skylight, bringing in natural light and a sense of volume. Expansive sliding doors strengthen the indoor–outdoor connection, while a central island establishes a clear focal point for cooking and gathering. Consolidated cabinetry and a more restrained material palette simplify the space, transforming it into a light-filled, cohesive environment.
Beyond the interior, a new deck and patio extend the living space outward, creating a seamless transition from kitchen to landscape. Integrated steps connect these levels, improving circulation and shaping a series of usable outdoor zones for dining, gathering, and everyday use.
“Allison designed our dream kitchen and deck remodel, and she made sure it was executed perfectly at every step. We were already in love with the design when it was just images on a screen. But now that we have seen it come to life and are using the space each day, we are blown away. It’s exactly what we wanted! So clean and elegant, and super functional in spite of our space and budget constraints. Even though I’m sure she had other projects going on, we always felt cared for. We hope to work with her again on our next remodel project; we can’t imagine trying to do something this complex without Allison in our corner.”

Before & After
A refresh of a 1975 home’s kitchen and dining areas: the layout was reworked, two large sliding doors were added, the ceiling was vaulted, and a skylight was introduced to emphasize the new island.
