This 80 year old farm house was in need of an update. The kitchen and dining areas were cramped, dark and isolated from one another. The homeowner requested an open floor plan with more storage and space where her children could play while she was busy in the kitchen. Thompson Remodeling flipped the existing positions of the dining room and kitchen and removed walls to open up the space. The new kitchen has bright white cabinets, quartz countertops and an island with a butcher block counter. A custom banquette provides seating and a spot for the kids to play and do homework while its bench doubles as hidden storage. The wet bar in the dining space has loads of pantry space. The existing floors were very uneven, so we used a vinyl plank flooring that would allow more give for installation. It looks just like weathered pine and will offer very easy care for the busy family.

Classic farmhouse elements combine with vibrant colors and modern amenities, marrying tradition and innovation in this fun and functional kitchen. Dark wood floors pair with red and blue accents, while black countertops make a vivid statement. And lots of cabinet space was custom-tailored to the family's particular needs. The result: rural living with style and flourish. Photos by: Jeff Roberts Project by: Maine Coast Kitchen Design
