In order to attain the high ceilings and open area the owners envisioned, the original drop ceiling was eliminated and the ductwork and electrical wiring was transferred into the walls. As if rewiring the entire lower level weren’t enough, the team was able to dig an additional three feet below the original foundation from 1917 to add even more height to the space.

Country House Living Room: New Tile Floor – To better conduct the heat, we replaced the old wood floors with porcelain tile. New radiators, insulation, ductwork, and enclosing the basement staircase improved the function of their HVAC. Fireplace Makeover – To create a new focal point for the living room, we installed a new fire box, new mantle, and floor to ceiling stone. The goal was to draw the eye up to the vaulted beamed ceiling. Open Concept Layout – The wall between the kitchen and living room was removed to connect the two spaces. We added new cabinetry along the wall with a tall bookcase. Since they didn’t use their formal dining room, a small dining table was added to the living room. New Railing & Stairs – The staircase to the kitchen area was tricky because we needed to find a style that would make it feel airy. We did a glass enclosure with a simple metal railing and moved the staircase to the center of the room to allow room for the piano.

This beautiful modern farmhouse kitchen includes custom shaker style cabinets complete with an accent kitchen island in the middle. The countertops are marble and quartz. The quartz countertop is made to look like concrete, but is much more durable and easy to clean. The sink is a granite undermount with a large faucet and water dispenser. Above is recessed lighting inset into tongue and groove ceiling painted in a white to simulate a farmhouse feel. The flooring is wood plank ceramic tile. This interesting lake house is finished off with exposed ducting at the highest point of the ceiling, which saves money by not having to run ducting throughout the home.

Kowalske Kitchen & Bath was hired as the remodeling contractor for this first floor remodel in the countryside of Oconomowoc, WI. By opening the kitchen up to the living room, the layout is better for hosting family gatherings. The entire family can be together in the kitchen and living room – cooking or spending time together. Highlights of this country kitchen include a window seat, walk-in pantry and space for their treasured piano. Project Goals + Restore the beauty of their family home, that was built by the homeowner’s grandfather + Cooking functionality for their family farm + Add a workstation sink for easy food prep + Pantry storage space for canned items & wine collection + Design that honors the mid-century ranch bones of the house her grandfather built and their own traditional style Challenges & Issues + Needed space to highlight their piano, since the homeowner is an avid pianist + Old layout didn’t have good views of their outdoor space – the lake, gardens and chicken coop + Kitchen was too small and cut off from the rest of the home + The heat and air conditioning did not function well due to several past additions Country Kitchen Features: Cooking Kitchen – We created a larger kitchen by expanding into the old dining room. The homeowners needed more space for canning vegetables, cooking and entertaining. Mid-Century Country Design – The ranch home was built in the 1950s so we kept the mid-century and country kitchen design aesthetic by using hickory wood, tall verticals and long horizontals. Kitchen Window Seat – A custom window seat with a curved backrest creates a gathering spot in the kitchen. This connects the home to the outdoor view of the lake where the family fishes and ice skates in winter. The bench is large enough to be used as a guest bed when they have visitors. The cozy nook has shelving, art lights, and a hidden radiator underneath to keep it warm and toasty. Window Backsplash – Along the range wall, a new window backsplash features the beautiful view of the farm driveway, trees and gardens. Minimalistic Hood – The hood with the wood shelf mimics the new fireplace mantel and ties the country kitchen and living room together. New Pantry – The old kitchen area was converted into the new pantry and a laundry room. The pantry is their working kitchen where they can store food, their wine collection, and have countertop space for small appliances. Butcher block countertops, colorful wallpaper and a new window make the pantry inviting. Adjustable shelves allow for flexible storage options. The pocket door can be closed when they have guests. Recycled Ash Flooring in Kitchen – The homeowners chose an eco-friendly flooring for their country kitchen. The beautiful varied width wood planks are from recycled ash trees from Milwaukee parks. Workstation Sink – This sink has sliding platforms that hold bowls, colanders and cutting boards to multiply the countertop by going deep instead of wide. The sink can be used to chop, rinse, prep, dry dishes, hold hot dishes and clean up after a meal more efficiently.

The ProV Insert is Proline's most powerful range hood inserts. It features variable speed blowers, and you have the choice between three different CFM ratings: 1200 CFM local blower 1700 CFM local blower 1300 CFM inline blower The inline blower option installs inside your ductwork and is much quieter than the local blower. This is a great option for you if you have a lot of guests in your kitchen while your hood is running – or if you run your hood at high power often. With this range of CFM options, this insert accommodates any cooking style. You can purchase this hood in 403 stainless steel or 304 stainless steel. The 304 finish is great for outdoor kitchens and grills. Depending on the size, the ProV insert comes with 2-3 LED lights. You can control these lights using the control panel on the underside of the hood. When you finish your cooking, toss the stainless steel baffle filters into your dishwasher for a quick, easy clean.
