Kitchen & Bath Renovation, Orleans, MA

This Orleans kitchen and bath renovation was completed by Cape Associates working with Huth Architects. Color is the defining idea throughout the photos.

In the kitchen, white upper cabinets sit above blue-gray lower cabinets, with a stainless range hood and a pot filler over a six-burner range. A white ceramic backsplash is laid in a stacked pattern.

The bathrooms each have their own palette:
• Pale blue glass tile with a recessed shower niche
• Soft green ceramic tile with a built-in dark stone bench
• Small mosaic tile in green and in bright turquoise
• A freestanding soaking tub beside a window
• Double-sink vanities with skylights overhead

Orleans, at the elbow of Cape Cod, has a mix of older homes and newer builds, and this project reworked rooms that households use every day. Choosing one color per room gives each space its own identity, while white counters and trim keep the whole house feeling bright.
