Crownsville, Maryland, residents tapped Tina Colebrook Kitchens to overhaul their dark, outdated kitchen. Principal Tina Colebrook brought in natural light with an expansive picture window along the sink wall. A small, awkward island made way for a large, rectangular one and a fresh layout improved functionality and flow.

A modern aesthetic prevails. Sleek, European-style cabinetry is distinguished by a ribbed surface. Dark-stained wood and green accents in marble and tile connect the kitchen to the woodsy tableau visible just outside the window.

"Original materials create a unique blend and are well-incorporated."
Kelley Proxmire, jurist
