Before & After: A Stunning Kitchen Revival on Bainbridge Island


Sometimes, a kitchen just needs a second chance. This Bainbridge Island remodel is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship can breathe new life into a space that’s ready to evolve.


The Before: Functional but Tired

The original kitchen served its purpose well over the years, but its dated cabinets, dark finishes, and limited lighting made the space feel closed off and uninspiring. The layout, while practical, lacked the openness and flow today’s homeowners often crave. Our clients envisioned a lighter, brighter, and more welcoming kitchen—one that better reflected how they live and entertain now.

The Vision: Modern Elegance Meets Everyday Comfort

Working closely with the homeowners, our team at Fairbank Construction reimagined the kitchen from the ground up. We expanded the natural light by replacing the smaller window over the sink with a wide expanse of glass that frames the garden view and brings the outside in. The new design introduced an oversized island for gathering, prepping, and serving—a true hub of the home.

The After: A Bright, Open, and Elegant Kitchen

From the moment you step into the finished kitchen, it’s clear this space was built for both beauty and function:

  • Relocate the refrigerator and windows to open space into the dining room.

  • Crisp white custom cabinetry adds timeless charm and visual height.

  • Soft-close drawers, glass-front cabinets, and integrated storage make organization effortless.

  • A sleek black stone countertop creates contrast and anchors the space.

  • Warm wood flooring softens the palette and ties everything together.

  • Updated lighting, including recessed cans and pendant fixtures, ensures both task and ambient light. Check out all the pictures here.


A Space Reimagined for How You Live Now

This remodel didn’t just update finishes—it redefined how the kitchen works for the family. With better flow, increased prep space, and enhanced natural light, the new kitchen is now a place where cooking feels easier, gathering feels natural, and every day feels just a little more special.
