Chadwick Street Kitchen

This Leawood kitchen update by Kelly Summers has all the quintessential modern farmhouse details with a classical styling that the original space just wasn't quite pulling off. The kitchen before had a tan diamond layout backsplash and cabinets in a distressed, painted finish. We decided that subtly was key here. This update features all new cabinetry, island, countertops, and appliances. We nixed the high-top bar that blocked visual access to the living space and took it down to the level of the sink, creating almost a second island and providing more engaged seating. A modern chandelier now hangs above the island.
