Modern Organic Kitchen Renovation: Los Angeles Project

Project Highlights

A Modern Organic Kitchen Built Around Natural Materials

This Los Angeles kitchen pairs natural, unstained oak cabinetry with a single bold color move a sage green island finished in a waterfall-edge marble-look countertop. Three ribbed glass globe pendants hang above the island, echoing the organic, hand-finished feel of the cabinetry below. A stainless farmhouse sink and wide-plank oak flooring keep the palette warm and grounded, while wood-framed folding glass doors open the kitchen directly onto the backyard, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living.

A Full Kitchen Reconfiguration with an Open Floor Plan

The renovation reworked the kitchen layout around a single sage green island, replacing a closed-off plan with an open sightline into the adjoining great room. Custom oak cabinetry runs floor-to-ceiling along the perimeter, with dedicated panel-ready niches for major appliances and a farmhouse sink positioned beneath a garden window.

From Bare Treads to a Finished Oak Staircase

The staircase was framed and finished on site in the same natural oak that runs through the kitchen and the flooring. The first image shows it mid build with the treads bare and the surrounding walls still unfinished, and the second shows the completed run with the balusters and handrail set and daylight coming through the arched entry door.

Why Denali?

Removed two non-bearing walls and reinforced the ceiling with a 24-foot LVL beam to open the original galley kitchen into the dining and family rooms. New white oak cabinetry, honed marble counters, and a 48-inch range anchor the space.
