A lovely but very dated beach bungalow in the coveted Seadrift section of Stinson Beach needed a major kitchen/family room make over. We wanted to utilize natural materials while steering away from any cliched beach cottage vernacular. We turned this cramped galley kitchen that had an ill placed door and under utilized hallway into a modern oasis. Custom rift sawn oak cabinetry paired with the practicality of calacatta quartz countertops and a dramatic honed black marble fireplace surround all contribute to the stunning transformation.
