  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   The Klimala’s and their three kids are no strangers to moving, this being their fifth house in the same town over the 20-year period they have lived there. “It must be the 7-year itch, because every seven years, we seem to find ourselves antsy for a new project or a new environment. I think part of it is being a designer, I see my own taste evolve and I want my environment to reflect that. Having easy access to wonderful tradesmen and a knowledge of the process makes it that much easier”. This time, Klimala’s fell in love with a somewhat unlikely candidate. The 1950’s ranch turned cape cod was a bit of a mutt, but it’s location 5 minutes from their design studio and backing up to the high school where their kids can roll out of bed and walk to school, coupled with the charm of its location on a private road and lush landscaping made it an appealing choice for them. “The bones of the house were really charming. It was typical 1,500 square foot ranch that at some point someone added a second floor to. Its sloped roofline and dormered bedrooms gave it some charm.” With the help of architect Maureen McHugh, Klimala’s gutted and reworked the layout to make the house work for them. An open concept kitchen and dining room allows for more frequent casual family dinners and dinner parties that linger. A dingy 3-season room off the back of the original house was insulated, given a vaulted ceiling with skylights and now opens up to the kitchen. This room now houses an 8’ raw edge white oak dining table and functions as an informal dining room. “One of the challenges with these mid-century homes is the 8’ ceilings. I had to have at least one room that had a higher ceiling so that’s how we did it” states Klimala. The kitchen features a 10’ island which houses a 5’0” Galley Sink. The Galley features two faucets, and double tiered rail system to which accessories such as cutting boards and stainless steel bowls can be added for ease of cooking. Across from the large sink is an induction cooktop. “My two teen daughters and I enjoy cooking, and the Galley and induction cooktop make it so easy.” A wall of tall cabinets features a full size refrigerator, freezer, double oven and built in coffeemaker. The area on the opposite end of the kitchen features a pantry with mirrored glass doors and a beverage center below. The rest of the first floor features an entry way, a living room with views to the front yard’s lush landscaping, a family room where the family hangs out to watch TV, a back entry from the garage with a laundry room and mudroom area, one of the home’s four bedrooms and a full bath. There is a double sided fireplace between the family room and living room. The home features pops of color from the living room’s peach grass cloth to purple painted wall in the family room. “I’m definitely a traditionalist at heart but because of the home’s Midcentury roots, I wanted to incorporate some of those elements into the furniture, lighting and accessories which also ended up being really fun. We are not formal people so I wanted a house that my kids would enjoy, have their friends over and feel comfortable.” The second floor houses the master bedroom suite, two of the kids’ bedrooms and a back room nicknamed “the library” because it has turned into a quiet get away area where the girls can study or take a break from the rest of the family. The area was originally unfinished attic, and because the home was short on closet space, this Jack and Jill area off the girls’ bedrooms houses two large walk-in closets and a small sitting area with a makeup vanity. “The girls really wanted to keep the exposed brick of the fireplace that runs up the through the space, so that’s what we did, and I think they feel like they are in their own little loft space in the city when they are up there” says Klimala.

As you drive up the winding driveway to this house, tucked in the heart of the Kettle Moraine, it feels like you’re approaching a ranger station. The views are stunning and you’re completely surrounded by wilderness. The homeowners spend a lot of time outdoors enjoying their property and wanted to extend their living space outside. We constructed a new composite material deck across the front of the house and along the side, overlooking a deep valley. We used TimberTech products on the deck for its durability and low maintenance. The color choice was Antique Palm, which compliments the log siding on the house. WeatherMaster vinyl windows create a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The windows effortlessly stack up, stack down or bunch in the middle to enjoy up to 75% ventilation. The materials used on this project embrace modern technologies while providing a gorgeous design and curb appeal.

Galley Kitchen remodel in West Chester PA. Closing off a doorway and some minor design tweaks added countertop space, storage, and a seating area to this new kitchen. Fabuwood cabinetry in the Nexus Frost door style keep this kitchen feeling light and open. The mosaic tile accent behind the range and new stainless steel hood makes a great eye catching focal point and adds an interesting contrast to the simple kitchen design. We chose Luxury vinyl plank floating flooring for the kitchen and surrounding first floor. This was a good choice for both durability and aesthetics. A dry bar area with beverage fridge was added for more storage and countertop space for entertaining. Who says smaller kitchens can’t have big appeal?

Using Carrara marble in the design provided exceptional value in visual appeal and cost. The beautiful marble added a touch of elegance and sophistication to the space without breaking the budget.
