Christina and Josh Corridor Renovate Their California Home’s Kitchen

“The 1st time we walked this house, I understood in my head, like, this kitchen area is not keeping,” Christina stated for the duration of the newest episode of Christina on the Coast.

She spelled out that the kitchen—which has stark white cabinetry and a long island with a lifted bar—doesn’t in shape her design and style. “The total kitchen just form of appears to be like 1 major robot,” she mentioned. “It’s a minor little bit as well contemporary and kinda harsh. I would enjoy a thing a tiny much more normal experience, a small additional organic.”

Josh agreed the kitchen needed to be softened up, so the whole detail had to go. But much more than that, the couple’s kitchen area lacked functionality. Christina pointed out that the dishwasher in the island usually pops open when she attempts to put together foodstuff. All of the upper horizontal cabinetry features a hydraulic raise-up procedure, this means their contents wouldn’t be accessible if the energy at any time went out. Not to point out, they are way too shallow to suit plates. The higher cabinets aren’t simple for everyday use. As well as, the array only has one operating burner.

Soon after determining to renovate, Josh made a visual of what their sought after new kitchen could seem like. Making use of tape, he mapped out what he realized Christina required: floating cabinets flanking a hood vent, a shorter hood than their present one particular, a slide-in assortment, and a shorter island that is broader and has waterfall edges. (Not like Christina’s previous task, they did not choose for a T-shaped kitchen island.) The few also determined to include a bar with wine fridges in the open up-notion kitchen. “We are not gonna move again, so we might as perfectly have a kitchen area that seems gorgeous and actually tends to make perception,” Christina said.

When they met with their contractor Josh Marquad, the pair was specified a quotation of $60,000 to $70,000 for the renovation, excluding the value of appliances and the demo (mainly because a person of Christina’s good friends preferred to just take their existing cabinets to use for yet another property undertaking).

As much as materials go, Christina and Josh compromised on a blend for their custom made cabinetry. They selected white oak cupboards and white oak floating shelving with black cabinets less than the island. White counters with gray veining will make up the kitchen area countersplash.

The episode still left viewers with a cliffhanger, as the couple’s finished kitchen renovation was not shown. So here is to hoping it’s going to be featured in the subsequent episode!
