This kitchen remodel transformed a traditional galley-style space into an open, farmhouse-inspired design rich with texture, warmth, and timeless details.

Featuring deep olive green cabinetry, classic patterns, and warm tones, the new design blends traditional charm with a fresh, inviting feel. Layers of texture enhance the space, creating a cozy yet refined atmosphere.
A standout feature is the custom Italian ILVE range, which captures a nostalgic farmhouse aesthetic. The hood, tiled in a darker shade of olive green with copper detailing, beautifully complements the range and serves as a striking focal point in the kitchen.
From the client
“I hired Joseph Rodrigues (JR) to facilitate my whole house remodel. I initially wanted to just remodel my kitchen and replace my flooring. However, as one project touched the next, it became apparent the remodel needed to grow. JR was a great collaborator. He thought of my project from an unbiased angle and offered some crucial changes I never considered. The most important idea he generated is moving a wall to expand my kitchen and dining room to encompass a much desired kitchen island. I had given up on the island, thinking it couldn't be done. JR offered the plan to make it happen and followed through with its completion.
JR interviewed me to understand my color palette and style and then brought selections based on this initial interview. As our meetings progressed, the options he brought were more and more on target. As is the key with any good designer, JR brought me options I never knew existed.
JR also was instrumental in helping to find a contractor. JR brought in 3 contractors and facilitated the bidding from each one. We settled on a local contractor and I hired JR to oversee the project. Hiring JR as a consultant/liaison between me and the contractor was key for effective communication and guiding me through changes that come with every remodel.
Finally, I'm thrilled I hired JR to help me reach my goals and desired outcome. His communication was effective and concise and helped me navigate industry jargon with the contractor. I couldn't have completed this project without his guidance at every step of the process. I highly recommend JR!”
