In Seattle's vibrant Ravenna neighborhood, this kitchen remodel turns a standard space into a functional, inviting retreat. We used affordable IKEA cabinets, mixing stock white fronts for a crisp, clean look with custom vertical-grain fir doors for warmth, and that natural Pacific Northwest charm. It's a smart blend of budget-friendly and bespoke design.

The centerpiece island features spacious gray quartz countertops, with custom, site-built, open shelves on the back—perfect for cookbooks and essentials. A stainless steel farmhouse sink adds to the modern design appeal, while dual spice racks (flanking the built-in oven) keep everything organized. Glass subway tiles, stainless appliances, and ample natural light complete the polished vibe.
