The Kelley Residence project is a 150 SF kitchen remodel located in the El Cajon neighborhood of San Diego. The Kelley Residence was built in 1966, containing design styles and materials relevant to its time of creation. The kitchen, dining, and living room were saturated in outdated wallpaper, tacky carpet, and popcorn ceiling. The client’s goal was to remodel these spaces with the kitchen being the main focus of attention. The clients wanted an updated modern style kitchen that would provide efficient flow and greater luminosity. By picking materials and colors with soft earthy tonalities, the kitchen was now able to captivate more light, making it more inviting, hygienic, and illuminating. The kitchen is now a desired space to spend time in and inspires the urge for creative culinary experiences.
