This room’s transformation was part of a larger first floor remodel that included the kitchen, primary suite, and laundry/mudroom areas. (Stay tuned for those exciting details!)

In this space, the clients wished to maintain the original brick, but freshen up everything else. The trim details were refined, including custom cabinet doors and shelving to update the built-ins and increase their functionality.

New flooring and a new paint palette create the perfect backdrop for the new furnishings and decor. The lighting was updated to provide a better atmosphere. Seating for eight, plus a few extra spots using the poufs, make this an incredible gathering space for this family.

Yay, design!

The clients had two goals for this kitchen remodel: to open and brighten the space, and to update the storage capabilities. With the upper cabinets removed over the peninsula, the brighter finish on the cabinetry, and updated storage features, those goals were accomplished.

The textures of the natural stone countertop, porcelain brick-look tiles, and warm wood floors balance the starkness of the custom paint finish of the cabinets. This keeps the area bright yet grounded. The cabinetry is much more functional for the clients’ storage needs and the overall space simply shines.
