California Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

This home, once decorated in 80s colors like bright pink, cried out for a makeover. Designers drew on the owners' SoCal roots to update it to California modern farmhouse style with Scandinavian-inspired elements. The galley kitchen felt closed off, so the changes included knocking down a wall and building an addition to accommodate larger kitchen and a new breakfast nook with a pantry.
