Some kitchens just feel right—like they’ve got this effortless balance of style, warmth, and functionality. That’s exactly what we pulled off with this kitchen remodel at Greenbush Ave, Sherman Oaks, CA. It’s got that wow factor, but it’s also a space that feels lived-in, welcoming, and, most importantly, totally functional for a modern household.
Rich Wood Cabinetry: Warmth & Timeless Appeal
Nothing beats the natural beauty of wood, and this kitchen proves it. The custom cabinetry, crafted from deep, rich wood, sets the tone—classic, yet undeniably high-end. It’s warm, inviting, and packed with storage, keeping everything organized while looking sharp.
Oh, and the finish? Just enough sheen to show off the natural grain but not so much that it feels flashy. It’s that perfect in-between—refined yet homey, sophisticated yet practical.
A Jaw-Dropping Marble Island: The Star of the Show
And then there’s the island. This isn’t just any workspace—it’s a statement piece. Topped with striking veined marble, it’s big enough for everything: meal prep, casual dinners, that morning coffee ritual, or even a last-minute Zoom call.
That marble? It’s got this dramatic, fluid veining that runs across the surface, almost like a work of art. It catches the light just right, making the entire kitchen feel brighter, airier. And let’s be honest—who doesn’t love a kitchen island that makes people stop mid-sentence and go, “Wow”?
Marble Backsplash: Cohesive, Sleek, and Sophisticated
Nothing screams high-end like a full-height marble backsplash. Instead of stopping at the counters, we ran the same veined marble up the walls. The result? A seamless, sophisticated look that makes the entire space feel bigger, more cohesive, and incredibly luxurious.
It’s not just about looks, either. Marble’s easy to wipe clean, which means all those cooking splatters? No problem. Beauty and practicality? We’ll take both.
Brass Fixtures & Modern Lighting: Small Details, Big Impact
The right fixtures can make or break a design, and in this kitchen, brass accents steal the show. Faucets, handles, even the hardware—all finished in warm brass, adding just the right amount of contrast against the darker cabinetry. It’s that perfect touch of classic-meets-modern, bringing in a little vintage charm without feeling outdated.
And let’s talk lighting—because wow, does it matter. Sleek pendant lights hang above the island, casting a soft, inviting glow. They’re modern, minimalist, but still warm enough to keep the space from feeling too stark. And with recessed lighting tucked throughout, the entire kitchen stays well-lit, morning to night.
A Spacious Layout That Works for Real-Life
A kitchen this beautiful wouldn’t mean much if it wasn’t functional. The layout? Wide, open, easy to navigate—whether you’re making dinner for two or hosting a big family gathering. There’s space to move, plenty of room for multiple cooks, and enough counter space to actually spread out (because, let’s be real, nobody likes feeling cramped while prepping dinner).
Every element was designed with real life in mind. The flow? Seamless. The storage? More than enough. The overall vibe? Warm, welcoming, and timeless.
