Like many families with older children, this local Glen Ellyn couple wanted to expand the size of their kitchen while also creating a more open, airy feel for their main level. The home had plenty of space that included a formal living room, formal dining room, family room with eat-in area and kitchen with butler’s pantry. What it didn’t have, was an effortless flow between the areas used daily for cooking, eating and gathering.
Additionally, the kitchen had become outdated, feeling dark and dismal, despite the abundance of natural light. Our clients wanted a bright, cheerful interior that would inspire the family to congregate in this part of the house. No easy feat with teenagers.
An open floor plan design solved the issues with functionality and circulation, removing the walls that restricted flow and opening up the entry to the dining room. We also eliminated the rarely used butler’s pantry allowing us to expand the kitchen and add a large island for food prep and gathering. To create a sense of symmetry and consistency in the space, a clerestory window was added below the header and framed to match the existing adjacent entry from the living room.
Inspired by the owner’s Scottish ancestry, the island cabinetry boasts a beautiful blue hue, paired with stools upholstered in a sprightly plaid. The built-in buffet area provides additional storage, topped with a beautiful wooden top stained to coordinate with the stunning tones of the flooring.
The owner’s opted for stainless steel appliances, inspiring the selection of brushed silver light fixtures and polished chrome hardware. Marble-look quartz offered a durable, lightly colored surface to reflect sunlight and enhance the cheer factor. According to this happy family, this uplifting space is now everyone’s favorite place to gather.

Caine & CompanyThis was a kitchen remodel for a family that wanted a transitional style kitchen with plenty of storage and places for the kids to eat and/or do their schoolwork. We brought in some rustic elements such as the wood backsplash and shelves along with the wooden and metal stools. Stainless steel appliances, chrome electrical and plumbing fixtures in addition to the hardware were brought in for a modern touch. To add a classic look to the design, we included brown Shaker cabinets, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash and porcelain floors. We incorporated a built-in buffet area with a pantry on each side to address their storage needs as well as stools at the island, a small dining table and a bench in the eating area for the kids to sit at. The family including the design team were extremely happy with the completed design and project.

Features include beautiful white cabinetry and counters on the perimeter and a navy painted island with a navy/white quartz. The navy blue glass backsplash behind the range ties the island in effortlessly and a built-in buffet and hutch for the breakfast area.

McDaniels Kitchen and BathThis transitional kitchen design in Holt proves why dramatic color schemes are becoming a more popular choice for kitchen remodels. The elegant, custom green raised panel cabinetry from Decora is beautifully offset by Top Knobs honey bronze finish hardware. The space has a slight rustic edge with the hardwood flooring, dark Cambria quartz countertop, and marble backsplash combining perfectly to add contrast and texture to the design. Black finish GE appliances add another color contrast, along with the Elkay E-granite black double bowl sink and Kohler faucet. The design includes a built-in buffet area, and upper glass front cabinets with in cabinet lighting, plus undercabinet lights throughout.

Home ResourceThe Dining room table is the heart of every home: old and young. Family and friends all gather around the table to eat, play, have coffee and cake, do handicrafts, work or come together for festive occasions. As a family table, it is a place of enjoyment and relaxation. It also facilitates communication. Many important daily social interactions take place at dining room tables, across all cultures, regardless of what differences may exist. And that is why dining tables and their chairs deserve some special attention. How big should the table be? What material is preferred? What color? And what chairs match both one's taste and the table?
