This main floor remodel in Lenexa, Kansas, was the third phase of a full-home transformation for our longtime clients. After previously renovating their basement and primary bathroom, they invited us back to reimagine the heart of their home with fresh perspective and elevated function.
The entryway was completely transformed from a builder-basic pass-through into a bright, welcoming focal point that sets the tone for the entire main floor. In the kitchen, we reworked the layout to improve flow and maximize storage, while introducing timeless finishes and thoughtful details that now carry throughout the home.
The family room was redesigned to feel warm, cohesive, and connected—complete with custom built-ins and a refreshed fireplace. We also converted the former laundry room into a fully functional prep kitchen, and redesigned the mudroom to meet the demands of daily life without compromising style.
This project reflects a balance of beauty, utility, and personal expression, with every space tailored to support how this family lives and gathers in their home.

Cat Neitzey from Reico Kitchen & Bath in Fredericksburg, VA designed a modern and accessible primary bathroom remodel featuring Merillat Classic cabinetry.
The bathroom cabinets are the Lanielle door style in a Whisper finish, complemented by hardware from the Jeffrey Alexander Alvar Collection. The countertop is MSI Frost White quartz, accompanied by black fixtures from the Kohler Tempered Collection.
The bathroom also includes Atlas Tile Grespania Trivoli 12x24 wall & floor tile, as well as Pan Lungarno Nero Penny with Nero Chevron Accent tile.
Cat expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to work on this project. "The style the clients brought to the table was so fun, and the showroom appointments were creative and interesting. This fully accessible renovation in a multi-generational home addressed practical concerns with standard construction. Meeting accessibility guidelines and ensuring proper installation were our top priorities. I love that we were able to achieve that while incorporating choices both dramatic and modern and clean and elegant."

Located within a building constructed in 1937, this apartment retained many of the signature features of New York’s golden age of residential architecture when we first encountered it in 2012—a spacious foyer and living room, wide halls, and beautiful wood floors. Creative professionals keen to color and material, our clients took issue with the kitchen. Also emblematic of prewar apartment living, this room was tucked away in a dim, narrow space, and did not accommodate the couple’s love of entertaining. While they didn’t want to remove any walls separating the kitchen from the living room, our client desired a kitchen that would not only reflect their taste, but also feel larger and better connected to the rest of the apartment.
In response, we removed a wall between the kitchen and adjoining dining area, which enhanced the space’s volume and allowed daylight to penetrate more deeply into the kitchen. New cabinetry was designed to expand storage capacity and enclose new appliances, while expressing the client’s personality. We extended cabinetry into the dining area, to provide additional storage for dinnerware.
To maximize the sense of spaciousness, we removed the kitchen’s tile floor and replaced it with oak flooring similar to the original oak flooring installed throughout the apartment. All flooring was sanded, ebonized, and refinished to create a more seamless flow between spaces. The dark hue creates contrast with the white plaster walls, as well, engendering a new sense of drama and elegance in all the interiors.

The powder room was designed as a playful contrast to the home’s restrained material palette, introducing a bold and unexpected moment through funky, vibrant wallpaper that gives the space a fun and quirky personality. A custom concrete countertop with an integrated sink adds a sculptural and handcrafted quality, balancing the expressive finishes with clean modern detailing. Tile floors and walls provide durability and texture while complementing the industrial-inspired palette found throughout the home. The result is a compact yet memorable space that combines creativity, material richness, and modern design sensibility.
