This kitchen remodeling project in Rockville, Maryland, is part of a whole house remodel Kitchen and Bath Shop did recently. In this kitchen, we used marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, open shelves, and white, long-endurance import cabinets. A coffee table by the sunroom is adding a cozy feel to this kitchen that embeds moderns architecture and a farmhouse feel.

A light gray subway tile backsplash wraps the kitchen in subtle texture, offering a clean and classic backdrop that complements the overall palette. Paired with a farmhouse sink, the space feels both practical and elevated—designed for everyday living while maintaining a polished, enduring aesthetic.

The new design reformulated the first floor plan making it much more functional and visually exciting. It encompassed the reorganization of multiple spaces including the Mudroom, Kitchen, Dining Room, Family Room, Sun Room, Laundry, Bathroom, and Master Closet. The design also added, deleted, and relocated windows and French doors to greatly enhance exterior views, draw in more natural light, and seamlessly upgrade the articulation of exterior elevations. Improvements to the plumbing and mechanical systems were also made. The overall feeling is both sophisticated and yet very much down to earth. John R.

This project focused on reimagining the kitchen and powder bath, bringing both spaces into something far more timeless. In the kitchen, we reworked the layout to improve flow and maximize storage, creating a space that feels both elevated and highly functional. A softly curved island anchors the room and was designed to encourage gathering while adding a sense of ease at the heart of the home. A modern coastal palette guided the design, with layered blues adding depth while keeping the overall feel light, fresh, and enduring. In the powder bath, we leaned into a more old world sensibility, introducing classic wallpaper and tailored millwork to create a space that feels collected, cohesive, and quietly impactful. The result is a home that feels thoughtfully updated, honoring its past while fully embracing the way it is meant to be lived in today.
