Colonial Kitchen Renovation: Before & After

This Wauwatosa, Wisconsin Colonial home was in need of a kitchen remodel to that stayed true to the style of the home while blending in with the other recent updates made to the home. The previous kitchen had a broken stove, inefficient storage, high maintenance finishes, and lacked the simplicity that the clients wanted. Now after the remodel there is improved circulation into the dinette for entertaining family and friends.


Lighting was vastly improved and now highlights the coffered ceiling, subway tile backsplash, and cabinetry. The clean look of the full overlay white Plato cabinetry allows for a contrast with the Verde Peacock Lite granite countertops. A 36″ Thermador cooktop and GE appliances provide for an updated stainless look and a kitchen ready for cooking. The Ebony stained maple hardwood flooring adds the final soft touch for an updated kitchen in 2015.

The Dinette now has a circular flow into the kitchen allowing for entertaining purposes. A built-in hutch was added to store glasses and allow for convenient counter space. Lighting was added inside the cabinets to show off the glassware and add depth.

    Huge improvement! I've had white cabinets for 38 yrs in 3 houses. Am remodeling our 4th house and it will also have white cabinets.

    Stunning. I love every detail of what you have done, especially ceiling, lighting, floor, counter tops and transforming cabinets, choice of hardware. Did I leave anything out? The "Before" pics are dark so can't really see much but the "After" pics say it all. Beautiful and inspirational job.

    The natural light combined with the new lighting is stunning. Opening up the kitchen like you did and installing that new flooring was such a great idea!
