The homeowner’s goal for this kitchen remodel was to improve functionality and increase the home’s value. The existing kitchen was old and needed an update – cabinets were falling apart, the downdraft on the Jenn-Air range made it difficult to cook items correctly, there was little to no storage, lighting was insufficient. A poor layout dominated by a hook-shaped peninsula inhibited the ability to work efficiently

The new arrangement gave the cook much more usable counter space in addition to appliances that would work with her culinary skills. A large island and an opening to the living area gave her more ability to entertain guests. In addition an in-home elevator was added to the corner of the kitchen.

As seen in another photo within this project showing the before picture, this kitchen suffered from poor flow and felt quite cramped. During the first consultation, there was discussion about knocking walls down and including the dining room as part of the kitchen. We went to the design board and came up with the most economical solution we could to meet all the requirements. No walls needed to be removed. We redesigned the entire kitchen to allow for better flow and space. The end product is still amazing. A few of the changes included the relocation of the dishwasher, fridge and the centering of the sink. Originally the dishwasher and sink were located on the same wall making it very cramped and non-functional. By moving the dishwasher to where the fridge originally was located and then centering the sink allows for a comfortable and functional use of space. Lighting was an essential part of the design with the addition of numerous recessed lights and under cabinet lighting all with the ability to dim. This allows for a full range of ambient lighting. A good portion of the budget went to installing the granite counter tops. The movement is unique in every piece and draws the eye immediately. The glass mosaic tile back splash adds glamour without taking anything away from the granite. The use of different size upper cabinets accentuates the crown molding and gives the kitchen a more custom look but helped stay on budget by using standard sizes. A new Delta kitchen faucet with two wave technology locations make clean up easy when your hands are dirty, and filling a pot less straining on the wrist as you just place it under the faucet and the water turns on automatically. Finishing the kitchen off is the Mannington vinyl tile flooring that requires grouting. Laid on a diagonal, again raises the level of this kitchen to a more custom feel.

Large format, low maintenance porcelain tile and mixture of wood flooring is the perfect compromise between aesthetics and ability to stand up to foot and paw traffic.

A complete view of the transitional living room design, featuring a curated selection of high-end furnishings and custom staging. I selected a neutral, deep-seated sectional to maximize comfort and paired it with a rustic wood coffee table to anchor the room. The space is tied together with a vintage-inspired area rug and leather accent chairs, creating a sophisticated yet approachable environment. This project demonstrates my ability to manage the full interior design process, from spatial planning to the final placement of furniture and decor.

Perched above the street, this upper-level deck is a study in warmth, proportion, and connection to the outdoors. The rich wood-toned cladding wraps the facade in an inviting, tactile finish, contrasting beautifully with the sleek black-framed glass doors and windows. The architectural balance between horizontal wood grain and vertical glass panels brings rhythm and visual interest to the composition. The expansive glass openings flood the interior with natural light and open directly onto the deck, creating a seamless flow for entertaining or quiet retreat. By aligning the deck with the home's main living level, the space becomes an effortless extension of the kitchen and lounge, inviting alfresco dining or evening conversations under the stars. Durability and performance were as important as aesthetics here. The cladding material was selected for its longevity and ability to withstand Chicago's winters and summers alike. The black window frames provide a strong architectural outline, while the wide deck planks create a grounded, stable surface for gatherings of all sizes. From the street, this space signals the home's dedication to integrating outdoor living into everyday life. From inside, it feels like a private retreat—a place to exhale, unwind, and connect with the seasons.
