This remodel was a dated 1980s Cape Cod style home that desperately needed updating with the kitchen starting as the foundation for the rest of the home. The owners purchased the property in 2013 with the intent of replacing the existing kitchen installed in 2000, as well as updating most surfaces throughout the home. The space while moderately sized, felt cramped due to the L-shaped design and eat-in island that disrupted traffic flow from the mudroom, dining room and sliding doors to the patio. The owners knew they wanted to bring the light from the southern facing front of the home to the dark cave-like feeling of the kitchen. This was remedied by knocking down the wall between the existing dining room (now a lounge area), widening the entrance to the family room and creating a pathway to the existing formal living room (now the dining room). Also to create better traffic flow into the kitchen, the existing mudroom door was moved to the opposite side of the wall. A large work island with cooktop, oven and convection/microwave was designed for efficiency and maintaining clean site lines. The work triangle allows for quick and easy meal prep and clean-up for the busy family. Space at the end of the kitchen was perfectly suited for a large kitchen table with views of the back yard, easy conversation with the cook at the island or those hanging in the newly appointed lounge area. The new doorway between the kitchen and dining room showcases the 10ft floor to ceiling bay window, allows more light to flood into the space and creates easy access between the two rooms for family gatherings. Given the home owners relocated to the area for job reasons and are not sure how long they will be in this home, we helped them achieve a balance of a design and finishes that they not only love, but would be appealing to many if another move was in their near future.

The outdoor kitchen boasts a Travertine backsplash stone with a custom ceramic mosaic, the focal point of the room. Wall Sconce Lighting illuminate the kitchen with a warm glow and reveal the depth of the dark Onyx Black Granite bar and countertops. Providing stark contrast to the granite, the bar and kitchen are faced with Austin Chop Limestone, a lovely and light natural stone. The kitchen houses a 30” grill with a motorized rotisserie featuring LED lighting, perfect for serving a crisped-to-perfection chicken! Completing the meal is no challenge with the double side burner, an ideal spot for sautéing vegetables. The two sets of double doors provide underneath counter space allowing for plenty of storage. And, of course, electrical outlets are placed for convenience and afford access for a Margarita machine or other necessary appliances! Pulling from the original brick color is the Flagstone Stamped Overlay with custom coloring. Fashioning a natural feel to the patio while replacing the previous plain concrete slab surface. The gas-powered fire pit filled with Lava Rock Aggregate is faced with matching stone to the kitchen/bar and requires no maintenance or ash cleanup.

This stunning Avon Lake renovation showcases a thoughtfully reimagined kitchen and dining space, blending timeless elegance with modern functionality. The project began with a reconfiguration of the kitchen, expanding it into the former dining room to create a spacious, open-concept layout perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. The hearth room was transformed into a sophisticated new dining room, complete with an updated fireplace and a stunning chandelier, adding warmth and elegance to the space. The centerpiece of this luxury kitchen remodel is its striking design and high-end finishes. The countertops and backsplash feature quartzite “Australian Pearl,” offering a luxurious, natural aesthetic. Custom Mullet cabinetry elevates the design, with white inset beaded cabinets paired with rich cherry wood cabinets on the islands for a striking contrast. Top Knobs honey bronze hardware adds a warm, polished touch, while paneled appliances seamlessly integrate into the cabinetry for a sleek, cohesive look. This kitchen boasts two islands, designed for both practicality and style, and includes two dishwashers by Fisher & Paykel to streamline cleanup. The Fisher & Paykel cooktop and double oven provide professional-grade performance, making this kitchen ideal for avid chefs. Underfoot, beautiful white oak floors tie the space together with warmth and character. Lighting plays a key role in the design, with pendant lighting over the islands and statement fixtures throughout the kitchen and dining areas. Each piece was carefully selected to enhance the ambiance and add a touch of elegance. This custom kitchen renovation in Avon Lake perfectly balances form and function, making it an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. With premium materials, expert craftsmanship, and a thoughtful layout, this project is a true showcase of Hurst Design Build Remodel’s commitment to creating dream spaces with timeless appeal.

This kitchen remodel combines timeless functionality with a fresh, modern touch. We installed custom butcher block countertops, carefully cut and fitted to the existing layout, adding warmth and durability to the workspace. The cabinets were refinished and painted in a soft sage green, creating a clean and inviting contrast with the natural wood tones. Electrical wiring for new ceiling fixtures was prepared for final installation, and the space was reconfigured to optimize workflow and comfort. The project also included: – New countertop installation with precision cuts – Cabinet refinishing and hardware updates – Electrical prep for ceiling lighting – Subfloor protection and cleanup phase in progress Perfect for homeowners looking to upgrade their kitchen with a cozy, craftsman-inspired style that feels both modern and functional.

This mudroom renovation combines style with everyday practicality. Custom white oak cabinetry provides ample storage with a mix of closed cabinets, open shelving, and built-in benches. Durable herringbone tile flooring is both beautiful and functional, perfect for handling daily traffic while adding a touch of sophistication. A deep utility sink with a sleek black faucet makes cleanup easy, while thoughtful design details—like hooks, cubbies, and cozy bench pillows—keep the space organized and welcoming. Natural textures, warm wood tones, and layered accents ensure this hardworking room feels just as elevated as the rest of the home.

This client’s vision for their kitchen/hearth room remodel was to create a harmonious space for gathering and socializing with family and friends. Without the before and after photos, you would scarcely believe this was the same home. This huge home renovation perfectly illustrates that Dimensions In Wood’s expert team can handle every aspect of your remodeling project. Plumbing, flooring, electrical wiring, custom cabinets, structural engineering, appliances, windows, interior and exterior doors, entertainment and more. Contact us today to discuss Translating Your Visions into Reality The client was interested in new appliance technology, cabinetry to the ceiling, and an Island large enough to seat 3. They also wanted a built-in breakfast nook, improved pantry space, more functional storage on either side of their fireplace, and a built-in appearance for the TV above the mantel. The original built-in desk was not used, and they preferred for that space to serve as a small bar area with refrigeration and a place to store their printer. We designed several plans for the space before selecting the final layout. The new design required the removal of the soffit over the old sink, as well as a small wall beside the old refrigerator. The wall beside the stairwell had to be shortened 13 inches and a new beam installed to carry the load of the home’s 2nd story to gain enough space for the large central island. The existing closet pantry walls were also reconfigured as per the new plan. This serves as a great reminder that Dimensions In Wood is much more than just custom cabinets. Central to the entire custom kitchen is an 8-foot Walnut island. The huge island, which comfortably seats three, is topped with Essenza Blue quartzite. The stone’s natural striations are beautiful. Quartzite is harder than granite, and less likely to stain than other stones because of its density. The couple had to look through multiple slabs to find a piece they LOVED. The island’s custom Walnut cabinetry, built to resemble a piece of custom furniture, was stained Bronzed Walnut by Sherwin Williams. The 4-foot Galley Workstation in the island, handles all the kitchen’s prep, serving, and cleanup needs. The Galley’s culinary tools include an upper tier cutting board, upper tier drying rack, 2 lower tier platforms, 11″ colander with non-slip handles, and 11” mixing bowl with lid and non-slip bottom. Learn more about the amazing Galley Workstation here. A Waterstone gantry faucet in a pewter finish combines a pull-down sprayer for maximum mobility and a articulated swivel spout. A water tap with reverse osmosis filter provides the highest quality drinking water. To keep a clean and sleek counter we installed a raised air switch for the garbage disposal and integrated soap dispenser. The island also houses the Thermador Sapphire 7-Program Dishwasher with a hidden touch control panel and a custom Walnut wood front. The cabinetry under the Galley Workstation features a trash roll out, as well as storage for the culinary tools. Shortening the stairwell wall, and reframing around the stairs, which included shortening the handrail, also made room for a bi-fold door walk-in pantry with extra roll out storage and space for a small microwave. Above the panty doors is a remote controlled, electric motor powered, lift up cabinet door which hides a flat screen TV, used while the family is cooking. To the right of the walk-in pantry is cold food storage. The Thermador, 30-inch Freedom Collection refrigerator and 24-inch built-in freezer column with internal ice maker are covered with matching cabinetry fronts. An open display space was designed above the units, creating an aesthetically beautiful wall. To the right of the refrigerator & freezer columns is a tall cabinet designed for the built-in Thermador steam and convection oven. The convention steam oven is a relatively new technology for homes, but its versatility and food quality is amazing. To the right of this is a pull-out appliance pantry which provides easy access and storage for a stand mixer, blender, and any other appliance you do not want to clutter the counter. The most visible wall of the kitchen features the 36-inch Thermador Professional Series Harmony Gas Range with Griddle. Between the range and custom designed wood hood, a framed mosaic tile accent in the backsplash, creates a focal point. To clear the air, the Professional Series Thermador 42-inch ventilation insert provides excellent exhaust capabilities, as well as providing multi-level, vivid LED lights for beautiful illumination. The wall cabinetry symmetrically flanks the custom hood, utilizing deeper wall cabinetry on each end, allowing for storage of oversized dishware. The base cabinetry on this wall is made up of drawers, except for the corner, which is a Kesseböhmer LeMans II. This specially designed shelf system allows ease of access in underutilized blind corners. The dual action articulation system with soft close mechanism ensures a smooth open and close. Rounding the corner to the outside wall, the base cabinetry was built to a narrower depth, providing additional space for the island, as well as easier access to the new larger pass-thru window which serves the screen porch. The client selected Black Vermont granite countertops with an ogee edge to contrast the Linen White painted cabinetry. The door to the screen porch was replaced with a Marvin Exterior Door with a raised panel at the bottom of the 3⁄4 glass door. Marvin Windows replaced the other windows in the space increasing the energy efficiency and value of the home. To establish the breakfast nook, a bench with drawers and an upholstered seat was built into the bay area of the room. Custom bookshelves were built with open shelves, cabinet doors, and drawers on either side of the fireplace. A new stone hearth and fireplace surround were installed. Above the existing mantel we built a recessed space for the flat screen television hiding all wiring inside the walls for a completely clean look. The space that was once a desk was transformed into a bar area. The glass shelves and glass cabinet front liquor cabinet stand out. But this bar area has hidden secrets. Tucked beneath the black granite is a Thermador under-counter double drawer refrigerator with matching wood front panels. They blend in perfectly with the cabinets. A wireless printer is easily accessed on a slide out drawer. Plus, what looks like merely wooden panels on the wall are concealing recessed storage for more bottles and glasses! Overhead recessed lighting and speaker system provide illumination and entertainment through the entire space. This luxury home had original, solid oak flooring through most of the first floor which the homeowner obviously wanted to keep but were in desperate need of repair and refinishing. Our master craftsmen wove in new wood flooring to match the old where needed, particularly where walls had been changed and where the floor was damaged. We sanded the floors, smoothing away years of wear and tear. The entire wood floor was then uniformly stained, making it impossible to differentiate where any repairs were made.
