Sherwood Forest Kitchen with Rose Gold Fixtures
Project Overview
The homeowners of this residence sought to optimize their kitchen space, transforming it into a more functional and inviting environment for their family. The original layout featured an outdated design, a small island, enclosed areas, and limited workspace, restricting both efficiency and comfort.
To achieve their vision, we reimagined the space by removing a wall and expanding the kitchen’s footprint. The result is a sophisticated and highly functional design featuring white and grey shaker cabinets, complemented by elegant New River White granite countertops and a timeless Cloe white backsplash. With the new layout, we knocked down a wall, raised the flooring and created a space that made more sense for their growing family. Thoughtfully selected rose gold fixtures on the cabinetry and appliances introduce a refined, distinctive touch.
This renovation not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the kitchen but also creates a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfectly suited for both everyday living and meaningful family gatherings.

Challenges & Solutions
The existing sheetrock, composed of a mesh grid embedded in a concrete-like base, was exceptionally challenging to work with. Cutting through this material consistently resulted in damage to our multitool bits, indicating its robust and abrasive nature.
We resorted to using a grinder, masked up for safety, and managed to cut off the sheetrock. Although this approach generated a substantial amount of dust, it was effective in slicing through the metal grid embedded in the sheetrock, facilitating the necessary modifications.
During the demolition process, we discovered that the wall we needed to remove was load-bearing.
After consulting with an engineer, we opted for a flush solution. This involved meticulously cutting each ceiling joist, then carefully inserting and securing the appropriately sized double LVL beams into the ceiling. This process was crucial for creating a seamless and continuous flow in the ceiling's appearance, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
