Kitchen Renovation: layout modification and aesthetic upgrades.
Cabinets: Rustic Cherry Natural
Counter tops: Golden Supreme Granite
Back splash: Rittenhouse square bisquit
Appliances: Samsung Black Stainless
This was a traditional ranch style home with a small kitchen that lacked counter top space and had a cramped dining room that blocked access to the garage and back patio. The renovation focused on creating better flow, opening up the walkways, increasing storage and was upgraded to our aesthetic taste.
The island incorporates dining seating for up to 5 while also providing storage for the Microwave, Trash/Recycling and Storage for dog food/board games. We designed a custom hood surround to fit within our limited ceiling height. This simple design added character and visual interest to a simple space plan. Full height pantry storage was added on the end of the kitchen by the patio doors, leaving just enough room before the garage door for the dog food bowls.
Electrical was upgraded for the whole space, going from 2 outlets in the kitchen to 7 has increased the usability of the space. A USB outlet was added to the end of the island so that people can charge their phones. Prior to the renovation there was a lack of lighting, we added can lights and an island pendant to increase visibility for prep.

The original kitchen had a peninsula that blocked access and views to the back deck. Adding a few extra feet across the back of the house allowed for a better connection to the new deck and dining room. Enclosing the small balcony allowed us to add square footage to the house. We used that angled space to create a breakfast nook/coffee & wine bar with built-in seating

Islands make so much more sense than peninsulas. We removed the peninsula and created a galley type, yet u-shaped kitchen. The island invite, a peninsula blocks access.

there used to be a wall here that blocked access to the finished basement and the garage entrance, as well as the passage to the nea home office

This remodel addressed issues including peeling vinyl flooring, outdated fixtures, and safety hazards due to deferred maintenance.
Challenges included: sourcing budget-sensitive materials with a high-end feel; slip-resistant hexagon floor tiles; a new pedestal sink; a water-saving toilet; and a larger medicine cabinet, while correcting code violations.
Universal Design created an open floor plan, low-maintenance finishes, zero-threshold entries into the bathroom and shower, in addition to highly-contrasting materials, grab bars with blocking, accessible towel bars for user convenience, and dimmable lighting with anti-glare trim.
We combined modern materials for a noir style and universal functionality for our aging-in-place clients and their forever home.

This existing desk was in the Master Suite. Unfortunately, it blocked access to the beautiful beachfront balcony. The glass was custom cut to fit perfectly on this angled wall in the Den, where it provides function and style.

This appliance garage is 18" deep. By using finger-holes instead of knobs, the lower section can be kept in its raised position without blocking access to the doors above.

Not only was the kitchen dated, but it didn't flow well. There was a tiny island blocking access to the fridge. There were no wall cabinets anywhere near the dishwasher. The desk was not used as a desk and wasting valuable storage space.
We remedied the layout, removed the raise bar, updated the space, and added ALL the accent lighting!
