Transitional kitchen remodel in Lakeview, Chicago We recently wrapped up this kitchen renovation as part of a larger remodel. We were aiming for something that feels current but not overly modern - restrained and balanced rather than trendy.
-Inset cabinets with a simple shaker profile
-Warm wood island to break up the painted perimeter
-Soft green tile backsplash instead of white/gray
-Brushed brass fixtures + lighting for contrast
-Clean quartz counters with minimal veining
Curious what people think—does the mix of traditional + modern read well, or would you have pushed it more in one direction? If anyone wants to see the full project pictures, comment and I'll DM you the project link.
