Cabinets and counters in Columbia.
Columbia's early-1900s cottages have charm and tight footprints, which means storage is the whole game in these kitchens. We design cabinets that earn their keep: pull-out pantries, deep drawer banks instead of door-and-shelf cabinets, corner solutions that reach the dead space, and pantry walls that turn an awkward nook into real storage. In a small Columbia kitchen, the layout decision matters more than the door style, so we start with how you cook and where things should live, then build to that. The neighborhood's older construction and our marine climate mean we default to moisture-resistant plywood boxes and soft-close hardware, because a damp kitchen is hard on cheap cabinets. Counters in a compact kitchen want to feel bright and uncluttered, so we steer toward materials and edges that keep the room feeling open. Whether you reface to refresh the look or go custom to finally fix the storage, we plan a Columbia kitchen around getting every usable inch.
