Inspiration for a timeless home design remodel in Raleigh

Our clients loved the location of their duplex home with its peak-a-boo ocean view, but their existing kitchen was not suited for their growing family. They wanted a kitchen with a coastal vibe, plenty of storage space, and an eat-in area. We started by bringing the far wall into the kitchen space to accommodate a large panty and communication center for the family. Doing this allowed us to move the refrigerator out of the main traffic area and doubled the amount of storage space. Several new windows were added to bring in natural light. A half wall was moved to allow more countertop area and open up sight lines. The previously awkwardly shaped island was slimmed down to create better flow. There were a few venting challenges to overcome; gas lines and plumbing had to be re-routed without disturbing the unit below. To open up sight lines, soffits were eliminated which allowed the extension of cabinets to the ceiling. To stay within the homeowner’s budget, we match existing scraped flooring by lacing in and repairing patches. The old dining area was too small for table, so we designed and built a custom banquette to maximize the space and take advantage of the outdoor views. The overall space works for family meals as well as entertaining. A light summer palette was used to reflect the shades of the sand, sea and sky. Even though the new kitchen is actually smaller than the original space, its now far more functional and open.

This eat-in dining nook was designed to bring warmth and intimacy to the open kitchen layout. A built-in banquette tucks seamlessly beneath large windows, maximizing seating while creating a cozy, casual gathering spot for everyday meals. Paneled millwork adds architectural detail and softness, while woven roman shades introduce texture and warmth. A solid wood dining table grounds the space, paired with simple, tailored chairs to keep the look relaxed and functional. Layered pillows in soft neutrals and muted color add comfort without overwhelming the palette. Natural light fills the nook, highlighting the warm wood flooring and creating an inviting place for morning coffee, homework, or casual entertaining. The result is a kitchen dining area that feels intentional, comfortable, and deeply livable — a natural extension of the heart of the home.
