Navy Island Kitchen and Fireplace Remodel

This remodel reorganized the kitchen around a large navy island and a more functional cooking wall. The original room had dark cabinetry, granite counters and a wide opening toward the living area that limited where appliances and storage could be placed.

A layout built around the island

Closing the former opening created a complete wall for the range, custom hood and full-height tile. White cabinetry brightens the perimeter while the deep navy island anchors the center of the room. The island combines seating, a sink and additional storage, giving the kitchen a clear place for preparation and everyday gathering.

Brass-toned hardware and glass pendant lights warm the white-and-navy palette. A stainless refrigerator is surrounded by tall cabinetry, and open wood shelves add accessible storage along the opposite wall. The finished layout keeps the primary work areas connected while preserving clear circulation around the island.

An adjoining room that feels connected

The seating area next to the kitchen was refreshed along with the main room. Its fireplace received a larger surround with dark tile and white horizontal paneling. The updated fireplace and built-ins share the kitchen’s mix of light finishes, dark accents and natural wood, helping the two spaces read as one coordinated project.
