The Kitchen, the heart of your home
 
Families spend a large amount of their time together in the kitchen and over the past twenty years we have begun integrating the kitchen with the living spaces around it.  If you have an older home, it's typically not enough to just replace the kitchen cabinets but rather expand the kitchen. Many homes built prior to 1990 (and even a few newer ones) have chopped up floor plans with separate rooms for the dining room, living room, kitchen and family room.  The common complaint we hear is that none of those small rooms are very useful, especially while trying to entertain your guests.  

Through the use of modern structural beams we are typically able to remove walls and bring all those spaces together as one large space.  The result can be rather dramatic if you've lived with those little rooms for many years.  

So, if you dream of having a huge entertaining space to share with family and friends please give us a call and let us show you through the power of 3d design what your new space will look like.

Kitchen Renovation doesn't have to break the bank

This kitchen was full of dark stained cabinetry that absorbed any amount of light that you could throw at it so the homeowners clearly wanted to brighten the space.  However, they liked most of the layout and didn't want to spend the kids college funds completely replacing the kitchen.  So the plan was to paint the cabinetry and modify just the cabinetry where needed.  We expanded the island considerably and added the undercounter microwave drawer.  The island is a blend of new Kraftmaid cabinetry along with some of the original cabinets, and some fairly simple bead board paneling.  The new island adds a huge workspace and family gathering area.  They say they rarely use their old dining table anymore as there is enough room at the island for their family.

The cooktop was originally a smooth electric top and they really wanted a gas cooktop so we were able to modify the existing cabinet to receive the new cooktop and the new centerpiece hood replaced what was originally the dreaded "over the range microwave".  

The Quartz tops and herringbone marble backsplash finish off the kitchen details.  





So if you are looking to save some money on your kitchen remodel consider the option of painting the existing cabinetry, replacing tops and perhaps making a few cabinet modifications to better suit how you wish to utilize the kitchen space.

Let's Brighten up This Room
Another dark wood kitchen that simply did not suit the homeowners' taste or needs.  An old fashioned pantry separated the kitchen from the butlers area but didn't provide practical storage.  The tall pantry cabinets that replaced it have plenty of pull out drawers to keep everything organized and in reach so you don't have to dig in the back of the pantry.  

The new Kraftmaid white and gray cabinetry certainly brighten the space.  The counter depth refrigerator makes for cleaner lines on that long section of cabinetry.  The new microwave drawer makes it more accessible to anyone who is vertically challenged.  And of course the marble herringbone pattern backsplash has been very popular the past few years.
