It's Friday! This kitchen had good bones, but it needed a refresh to make it feel more open, functional, and true to the homeowners’ style.
The transformation brings in a Midcentury Modern feel with warm cherry cabinets, high-end appliances, and a textured backsplash. By removing the raised bar and a few walls, NK Bend designer Jamie Rupprecht and her team opened up the kitchen to the rest of the main floor, making the space feel more connected.
And it’s the little details that really bring it all together, from custom cherry refrigerator handles and carefully matched wood grain to lighting that highlights the finished space. We even refinished the existing maple floors to tie everything together.
