The galley kitchen in this mid-century home was close to working. The footprint was fine. But a peninsula interrupted the flow, the pantry was taking up the wall where the refrigerator should have gone, and storage had accumulated without any real logic to it. The client wanted to keep the envelope and carry forward the blue-and-white palette she already had.
re:done removed the peninsula and repositioned the refrigerator into the former pantry alcove — a true unobstructed galley. Losing the peninsula meant losing cabinets, so every remaining cabinet was planned with a specific purpose: pull-out trash, built-in microwave, a custom wine rack in an otherwise awkward corner, a toe-kick HVAC vent tucked under the lower cabinets. The backsplash and cabinet selections followed the blue-and-white direction without being matchy.
The laundry room runs along the same corridor, so re:done incorporated a large closet into the overall storage plan so the two rooms worked as a sequence. The kitchen feels bigger now because it’s more intentional than it was.
