✨ Project Reveal: A Modern Craftsman Kitchen on Vashon ✨

This 1947 Craftsman had great bones, but the kitchen was dark, closed off, and blocking the Puget Sound views Ericka and Adam cherished. Working together, we rebuilt the space with the same methodical precision and neighborly collaboration that guide all of our island projects.

Project Overview:
• Opened sightlines + removed heavy upper cabinetry
• Re engineered and leveled decades old subfloors
• Feathered in custom milled hickory flooring
• Designed a zero collision multi chef workflow
• Built custom Euro frameless cabinetry
• Added modular, future proofed appliance cavities
• Crafted hand turned rounded pantry shelving for full access

The finished kitchen is quiet, intentional, and rooted in natural materials - a space that feels at home in the Pacific Northwest landscape.

Swipe through the gallery below to see the transformation, or explore the complete 'Zero Mystery' project breakdown on our site: https://buildgrowplay.com/case-study-a-modern-craftsman-kitchen-on-vashon/

If you’re dreaming of a kitchen built with care, clarity, and Zero Mystery, we’d love to talk.

Two official USAWE shows back-to-back made for a serious weekend of Working Equitation. While our boy Manny didn't get to go this year... Build Grow Play was proud to sponsor the weekend alongside VMIHA and other great local businesses to help make it happen.

It was fantastic catching up with you all over coffee at the concession stand—thank you so much for the incredible community effort!

A true luxury bathroom isn't just a collection of upgraded fixtures; it is a complete re-engineering of how a space functions and breathes.

For this full-scale renovation, we stripped away the restrictive original layout to execute a complete spatial transformation. From a custom-engineered floating vanity to the floor to ceiling tiling, we handled every detail of the build.

Explore the case study to see the "Before" photos, our precision 3D models, and the final ex*****on with zero mystery:

Build Grow Play is stoked to introduce Nate LaVigueur, the newest addition to our crew.

If you’ve spotted a new bloke framing up on a project or throwing sparks on custom steel lately, say g'day. Nate’s a local islander with a serious background in precision metalwork and structural welding. We wanted him on the team because he sweats every millimeter - the exact standard we demand on all our projects - and because he’s just a genuinely great guy!

He’s already been diving in across some of our projects, helping push a custom barn over the line, framing out our new workshop, and - as captured here at b**r o’clock with Phil - sorting a timber retaining wall to improve machinery access at our base.

Here at Build Grow Play, we’re proud of delivering top-tier craftsmanship while treating every neighbor's home with total respect. Nate is the perfect fit, and we couldn’t be happier to have him aboard!
