KITCHEN AND BATH REMODEL - NORFOLK

My client purchased this condo and was immediately ready to make it his own. The primary bath and kitchen were priority, with big changes in store. The original bathroom was split into two rooms - one for the sink area, and another for the toilet and shower. The original kitchen was closed off to the rest of the living area, and was missing out on tremendous views. So we took some walls down!

BEFORE

Everything was removed, and much was relocated. The wall coming down in the kitchen made way for a large peninsula with the sink overlooking the great room and the view. Countertops out of quartz material were extended into a waterfall edge on the peninsula and a full height backsplash to give elegance as well as ultimate durability. The new appliance locations and purposeful storage placement improved the flow for this avid cook.

In the bathroom, having the wall taken out made it feel like a whole new world. The tub was removed to allow for a large shower with large format tiles and a luxurious shower tower. New finishes gave the space a fresh start, and the improved materials will last for many years. Yay, design!

KITCHEN REMODEL - YORKTOWN

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.
