A Contemporary Open-Concept Kitchen Remodel

Scope: A young couple who purchased a two-story home with an interest in modernizing the kitchen and living room with an “open” concept design. The challenge involved removing a load-bearing wall between the living room and the kitchen. It was a major structural undertaking but made way for the perfect island kitchen. The new kitchen includes painted shaker-style cabinets (with all the bells and whistles), elegant quartz countertops, full tile backsplash, farmhouse sink, new LED lighting, and gold cabinet pulls and plumbing fixtures. Everything was repainted throughout, including the dark living room ceiling and bookcases.

Features:

• White shaker-style cabinetry with gold pulls
• Cabinet storage dividers and half-moon accessory
• Energy-efficient LED lighting
• Fireclay farmhouse sink with gold plumbing fixtures
• Quartz countertops
• Built-in microwave and refrigerator
• Disappearing exhaust system

Client Testimonial: “There was so much attention to detail on every aspect of the project from designing to changes here and there making sure that it fit with our preferences and even through construction our daughter was calling for their craftsman Todd and it felt like at the end we were missing family. I think my favorite part was being made aware of all of the intricacies in the design process and learning a whole book of vocabulary and being enlightened in all the thought that goes into everything and having my eyes opened in terms of what it would be like to live in the space and helping me imagine through it. There was also a day I spent with Carol and she took me shopping and I just had my baby she was 3 weeks old and was trying to pick through different shades of white tiles. My baby was going crazy and Carol was so warm and helpful. She helped carry the baby while I could actually think and choose something that I knew would be the rest of our lives in this house together. It is our forever home. We didn’t think that we would have gotten the house without the remodel and it really has exceeded our expectations in every way possible. We spend every single day in the kitchen. Almost 70% of our time in the house is around that island, so it really has been a big part of our life and probably forever.” -Angie C.
