Summit Avenue

This Tudor home with dated updates was in need of renovations and a brighter, more family-friendly look. Our firm was enlisted to provide an entirely new kitchen, mudroom and dining room renovation, as well as design and interior finishes for the entry, stair, powder room, and upstairs nursery. Classic finishes, navy cabinetry, and bright brass accents give this home an updated traditional look that will stand the test of time.
Project Year: 2020
Project Cost: $100,001 - $150,000
Country: United States
Navy kitchens are timeless, and weather design trends very well. It's a strong color, but can also be considered a neutral color. It also holds its own against other finishes in the room- countertops, hardware, lighting, and appliances.
Summit Avenue Kitchen and Mudroom
Formerly two rooms, we removed a wall and added leaded glass windows to brighten and enlarge the space. Room was borrowed from the former dining room to increase the size of the kitchen and add a back entrance mudroom. An island with seating, Calacatta quartzite countertops, navy cabinetry, and a...
Summit Avenue Kitchen and Mudroom Entrance
The former kitchen of this old home felt dark, with cherry cabinetry and black granite countertops. The client's request to "brighten it up, lighten it up" guided each design choice. Leaded glass windows were added at counter height. White walls and a white range hood keep the room feeling spacious...
Summit Avenue Kitchen and Mudroom
In the remodel of this early 1900s home, space was reallocated from the original dark, boxy kitchen and dining room to create a new mudroom, larger kitchen, and brighter dining space. Seating, storage, and coat hooks, all near the home's rear entry, make this home much more family-friendly!
Summit Avenue Mudroom Entry Bench
A former hallway pantry closet was converted into this stylish and useful beverage center. Refrigerated drawers below the espresso machine keep ingredients cool, and a Calacatta quartzite insert repeats the finishes and materials used in the neighboring kitchen.
Summit Avenue Kitchen Beverage Cabinet
In this home, the dining room and kitchen were two dark rooms separated by a wall. Asked to "brighten it up, lighten it up," our firm removed the wall between the two rooms but kept the walls separating this space from the rest of the living room and first floor. The result? An open arrangement...

Dark floors, bright white walls and trim, and a new classic runner update entry in this classic Tudor home.

Navy cabinetry pairs well with every finish. Brass hardware shines like jewelry, and wood countertops feel warm and inviting in these built-in dining room cabinets.
Summit Avenue Dining Room Cabinetry and Wood Countertop
Casual, family-friendly dining with plenty of style. The navy cabinetry and brass hardware connect the style and space to the neighboring kitchen, but the furnishings, glass cabinetry, and wood countertop make this space feel separate and unique.

Summit Avenue Kitchen and Dining Room
We love open concept homes, but they don't always fit with old home architecture or the need for privacy and private work space. In this remodel, an open kitchen and dining room space is visible but separated from the rest of the first floor by a wall and a large, multi-panel leaded glass door ......

Adding a pop of color and a wallpapered ceiling to this room turned an ordinary bedroom into a dreamy child's space.

A tiny room, a tiny window, and a very tiny vanity...how to make this powder room shine? Our redesign included this stunning paper, a custom sink and vanity surround, and sparkling metallic accents. Now this formerly dull room is a stylish surprise.
Summit Avenue Powder Bathroom Sink
We used this stunning wallpaper, a custom vanity, and gorgeous accents of gold and silver to give this tiny powder room plenty of personality.

Textured plaster walls, a beamed ceiling, and a vintage wrought iron railing all add character to this Tudor stairway. Add a pop of color and print in a new stair runner, and brighten the walls and risers with new white paint, and you have a classic, updated look.
Summit Avenue Entry & Stair
Great new and old details in this architecturally-rich home: textured plaster, wrought iron railing, detailed trim, and a new custom stair runner.
