Benson Homes LLCThis remodeling story is a wonderful example of how removing and shifting walls can have an amazing impact on the functionality and visual appeal of an entire level of a home. When our clients reached out to us, they were looking to create an open concept Kitchen that would allow for easy entertaining. The couple had recently purchased this townhome so his mother could be closer to the family.
The existing floorplan offered first floor living, but the Kitchen was tucked in the back and was separated from the rest of the living space by a full wall with a small pass through into the Dining Room. Our design involved removing the dividing wall between the Dining Room and Kitchen as well as the fake columns and beam that separated the Dining Room and Living Room. The entire space was opened up to allow for easy flow and view throughout the first floor living space. The wall shared by the Kitchen and large Master Bedroom was shifted back just enough to provide a full wall of additional cabinetry including a much-needed large double Pantry cabinet. Now that we had opened up the Kitchen area we could focus on the cabinetry layout and selections.
The existing wood toned cabinets were replaced with white cabinets and crown molding to match the rest of the home. The larger, open space allowed for more cabinetry and the addition of an island with new undermount sink, dishwasher and convenient trash pullout along with seating for the grandchildren. A new range hood was installed and vented to the exterior of the house to replace the old recirculating hood. We were able to repurpose the some of the existing cabinets for use above the washer and dryer in the adjoining Laundry Room and swapped out the existing swinging door for a pocket door to free up traffic flow when doing Laundry and working in the Kitchen. The slate-look ceramic tile was replaced with a pre-engineered hardwood floor that creates a sense of warmth while easy to clean. The new Cambria countertop compliments the slate-look tile found in the Dining Room and Living Room and a natural field tile backsplash offsets the cabinets beautifully.
The single fluorescent ceiling light was outdated and did not provide adequate lighting for the new Kitchen. The new lighting plan was carefully thought out to provide general illumination through well placed recessed lighting; task lighting through pendant lighting over the island and under cabinet lighting; and aesthetic fluidity with an eye-catching chandelier for the Dining Room table. Special details include a touch faucet, under counter microwave and glass front cabinetry for displaying dishes.
By removing and shifting walls, we improved the entire flow of the first floor visually as well as functionally and created a beautiful, light-filled space for cooking and entertaining. Grandma can easily prepare meals in her new Kitchen and still chat with her guests and grandchildren who love to sit at the island as well as in the adjoining Dining Room and Living Room.
The Benson Homes team really enjoyed creating this space for this family and we hope they will enjoy spending time with friends and family for years to come.
Karin Lameijer Re-design and DecoratingThis room had a difficult angle. To use daybeds instead of sofa's, the design is elegant and the space is not to full.
We imagined the lady of the house sitting here with her girlfriends, chatting and enjoying a good glass of wine! :))

MJA Design, Inc.After moving from California to McLean, Virginia, this large and active family wanted to keep enjoying the outdoors throughout the year. This task required some creative space planning by Matt Sbitani of MJA Design, Inc. The goals: to let the outdoor sounds and fresh air become a part of the
family’s daily living while still keeping the bugs out. The enlarged window above the sink gives a clear view to the outdoors. To prevent the space from feeling closed in,
Sbitani also turned a single door and standard window into a glass wall that opens to the grand screened-in outdoor living space. The inviting alfresco fireplace keeps the teenagers and their friends chatting at home for hours. One of the lady of
the house’s favorite features is the unique platter display rack, showcasing works of art that are also used on a daily basis.
Keeping a large family organized can be a challenge, which is why MJA Design created a zone that incorporates the laundry area, utility closet, and coat/shoe closet—all within the kitchen area. The team accomplished this by removing the laundry room and back stairs to enlarge the space.
When friends come over to this busy household, they feel right at home, helping themselves to drinks and snacks from the refrigerator drawer. In fact, everyone feels comfortable with the open and airy atmosphere that welcomes guests to join in
the great outdoors.

Now they use their outdoor living space daily - from quiet morning's drinking coffee and reading to big gangs of kids for outdoor movies and fireside chats.

Her covers are Tarot, Unforgettable Journeys and Spectacle. I think her guests will enjoy a cocktail here with her while chatting with her about some of her favorite hobbies. ;)
