Overview

New life for the rooms a family lives in.

This renovation brought new life to an existing kitchen and living space, in collaboration with architect Kent Duckham and designer Skip Carlin. RTHarris built the kitchen in fully custom cabinetry — with a custom island, pantry, and built-ins detailed to match. The result is a space made for a family to gather and enjoy daily life.
