Patterson, Vaughan

New counters, new backsplash, new island cabinets. The kitchen was never taken out.

• Sprayed Natural Cream at half tint
• New cabinets built into the island
• New quartz and slab backsplash, handles kept

   The island cabinet, drawn on site with a tape measure in the other hand. Thirty-one and a half by twenty-four and a half, thirty-five and a half tall, sitting on a floor noted as thirty inches. Nothing about a fitted island is standard — it gets measured where it goes.

   Every door in the house, stacked in the garage waiting for the van. They spend about ten days in the booth while the kitchen keeps working — you lose the doors, not the kitchen, which is the whole reason this is not a renovation.

   The counters and the backsplash are new, the island has cabinets it did not have, and the colour is a stock cream mixed at half strength so it reads warm without reading yellow. The boxes, the layout and the floor are the ones that were here.
