Transforming A Cramped Galley Kitchen

The owners of this 1941 home in Portland’s Garden Home-Whiteford Neighborhood weren’t in love with their dark, narrow galley kitchen and dining area and decided it was time to remodel. When they came to Lamont Bros. to remodel their kitchen, they envisioned a bright, open cooking space that overlooked their backyard garden and towering trees. The challenge would be figuring out where to put it.

Project Goals


We expanded the home by 400 square feet by converting an existing covered deck, utilizing the deck’s roof structure while creating a bright, open kitchen beneath. The new space features a generous 4’x6′ island with seating for nine and a farmhouse sink positioned beneath a window overlooking the backyard garden, creating the perfect blend of functionality and family connection.

A forest-inspired color palette governs the kitchens’ aesthetic, with deep green cabinetry and a custom tile backsplash adding texture and color.

Floating shelves take the place of upper cabinets on most walls, keeping the space open and drawing attention to the backyard views and full-wall tile backsplash. The layout is designed for ease of movement, with ample counter space and a balance of work areas and seating to support everyday cooking and hosting.
