Before and After: 3 Kitchen Makeovers in White, Wood and Green

These three kitchen makeovers in white, wood and green featured different shades of green to complement white and wood elements. The homeowners turned to Houzz to find designer Kate Roos and asked her to transform the kitchen into a bright, modern space with a new fixed window overlooking Minnesota’s Lake Minnetonka, a larger island to comfortably take in the views and a stylish white, wood and gray-green palette. The existing layout didn’t take advantage of the views and the original island sat only three people and faced a wall with a door to the family room. The empty nesters wanted a space that would allow them to spend time together effectively. To achieve this, Roos incorporated white elements such as white-painted cabinets, white walls and Sea Pearl quartzite countertops, and brought in more natural light by taking down a wall separating the dining room from the hallway. The new larger island with a quartzite waterfall countertop has a warm walnut breakfast bar and walnut cabinetry surrounds the new Wolf rangetop and hood.
