Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Tuck Inlet, this Prince Rupert home captures the essence of West Coast living—where nature, comfort, and design come together. After more than a decade in progress, this long-awaited kitchen renovation was brought to completion with a clear vision: to honour the home’s cozy, cabin-like setting while introducing a more refined, contemporary edge.
The design leans into a coastal cabin aesthetic, grounded by a rich palette of navy-blue cabinetry paired with warm walnut details. A semi-custom approach using prefab cabinetry allowed for both efficiency and personalization, elevated through thoughtful design choices and craftsmanship.
At the heart of the space, extra-thick 3” solid walnut countertops create a striking focal point—adding depth, texture, and a sense of permanence. These natural elements soften the bold cabinetry, resulting in a balanced composition that feels both modern and inviting.
Despite being located on a residential street, the home’s connection to the surrounding landscape is ever-present. The kitchen was designed to complement, not compete with, the stunning inlet views—offering a warm, functional gathering space that feels like a true retreat.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY SPACE
“I gave Lindsay my wish list and she made it all happen. She gave me three well thought-out designs. Once I’d picked my favourite, she helped by sourcing cabinets and giving good suggestions for drawer inserts to maximize my storage needs. Everything flows and makes sense.
I knew I wanted wood countertops, but her idea to make the range hood out of wood really tied the space together. The joy I feel standing in my kitchen makes me so thankful I used a professional designer; I absolutely love my space!”
