2013 NARI CAPITAL COTY, MERIT AWARD WINNER, RESIDENTIAL KITCHEN $40,001 to $80,000
Built in 1990, this colonial used builder-grade products from floor to ceiling. The original kitchen used inexpensive oak cabinets, laminated countertops and vinyl flooring. An oddly positioned pantry affected the traffic flow of the entire space and a large wall separated the kitchen from the family room. The homeowners were ready for an upgrade.
First, a structural beam replaced the wall between the kitchen and family room. It was replaced with a double-sided cabinet, which opened up the design considerably. On the kitchen side, it is a cappuccino bar with beverage center, coffee maker and bar sink. The other side features glass display cabinetry.
The old pantry closet was torn out and all plumbing stacks behind was relocated which allowed the placement of a 48” refrigerator/freezer. Next to it is the focal point of the room: a 48” gas range topped by a custom-made copper range hood. A beautiful tile backsplash follows the room’s wall around to a copper farmer’s sink.
Carefully chosen cherry wood cabinetry with a sage stain complements a light colored quartz countertop. A 4’x 12’ espresso stained island was installed to allow large gathering and serves as a casual eating place for their daily use. Custom made, high end heart-of-cherry wood planks were installed throughout the first floor.
This new era of ranch-style cabinetry, wood floor and rustic hood, sink and other little accent pieces made this project one to stand alone.

This Elma Kitchen Remodel really knows how to shine! Light Gray cabinets are topped with a Sparkling White Quartz Countertop. The Black appliances really offset all the light colors and create a nice contrast in the kitchen. The light color scheme allowed this customer to use bright red as an accent color to connect their kitchen and dining areas.
The real showstopper for this kitchen is of course the amazing vertical tile backsplash. This mosaic is a mix of metal, marble, and glass to add an amazing contemporary touch to this space.

This project centered on helping a wonderful client and her equally fantastic dog transform her condo into a space that truly reflected her style and simplified her life. Eager to create a home that was both beautiful and functional, she envisioned a haven in the heart of the city.
Before: Feeling Disconnected
Before the renovation, our client felt disconnected from her condo. The builder-grade kitchen was a constant source of frustration, with an awkward peninsula that hindered the flow of the space. The condo overall felt outdated and no longer captured her vibrant personality. The foyer and laundry areas were cramped and lacked organization, while the mismatched hardwood flooring only added to the disjointed atmosphere. As for the bathrooms, they felt frozen in time, desperately needing an update.
Worries and Concerns
Like many homeowners, our client had heard her fair share of renovation horror stories—tales of projects gone awry and the frustrations of managing multiple contractors. She was understandably cautious and needed a trustworthy, experienced team she could rely on to handle the project with care and expertise.
The Solution: A Personalized Transformation
We took the time to listen carefully to our client’s needs and concerns and developed a tailored plan to address each of her pain points. For the kitchen, we preserved the existing layout but reimagined the space entirely. The awkward peninsula was redesigned to improve traffic flow and provide much-needed storage and counter space. Clever storage solutions, such as pull-outs, shelving, concealed drawers in the toe kicks, and an appliance garage, were incorporated. The kitchen now boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere, with light wood-tone lower cabinetry, off-white upper cabinets, and brushed nickel hardware that ties it all together.
The laundry room, once cramped and chaotic, was transformed into an organized, efficient space. We added custom cabinetry with pull-outs for hanging clothes, open storage above, a laundry sink, and a spacious counter for folding—no more piles of laundry!
Both the en-suite and shared bathrooms underwent complete renovations. Custom cabinetry was installed, including a floor-to-ceiling linen closet, and light grey and brown-toned tiles were selected, with contrasting hexagonal tiles for the shower floor. A heated flooring system was added for luxury and comfort year-round.
The mismatched flooring throughout the condo was replaced with cohesive vinyl and porcelain tiles, creating a seamless, modern aesthetic throughout the space.
Overcoming Challenges
As with any renovation, there were challenges to navigate. One of the key obstacles was managing the condo board’s renovation rules and policies while coordinating the delivery schedules for finishes and fixtures, especially during the busy holiday season. With careful planning, we ensured the project stayed on track. Additionally, we encountered a height variation between the tile and vinyl flooring. To resolve this, we used self-leveling material under the vinyl, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition between the two flooring types.
The Grand Reveal: A Dream Come True
The final result is simply stunning. The kitchen is now a chef’s dream, with custom-built cabinets, smooth quartz countertops, and a matching stone backsplash. Brushed nickel and stainless steel plumbing fixtures, elegant cabinet hardware, and LED lighting under the upper cabinets add the perfect finishing touches. Custom organizers in the foyer and laundry closets provide ample storage and keep everything neatly in place. The bathrooms have been transformed into spa-like retreats, with beautiful porcelain tiles and custom cabinetry. The new vinyl flooring throughout the main living areas and bedroom unifies the space, creating a cohesive and modern atmosphere.
Life Transformed
Our client’s life has been completely transformed. As a passionate cook, she now relishes spending time in her beautiful and functional kitchen. The single-bowl sink makes cleanup a breeze, and the thoughtfully designed storage solutions have brought a sense of calm and order to her home. The refreshed flooring and neutral paint palette have created a relaxing, comfortable environment she truly loves.
A Memorable Journey
This project was more than just a renovation—it was a collaboration. Our client valued our guidance throughout the design process, particularly when faced with the overwhelming number of decisions. We built a strong relationship with her, and we are immensely grateful for the trust she placed in our team.
