Christine Wade from Reico Kitchen & Bath in Salem, VA, partnered with Dennis Roberts to design a transitional kitchen featuring Yorktowne Cabinetry in the Millgate door style with a White Icing finish.
The kitchen also includes Cambria Praa Sands countertops, 3x9 Sonoma Aquarius tile with #20 Eggshell grout, and Frigidaire appliances.
The clients shared, “We completely redesigned our kitchen and could not be happier with the results. Our Reico salesperson listened to our ideas and concerns and offered several design options. She helped us choose a layout that is both beautiful and functional, and a better fit than the original design. While the remodel was challenging at times, we are so glad we did it.”
Christine explained, “The client wanted a desk in the kitchen for extra workspace during the week, but it wouldn’t fit in the layout. Instead, we created a built-in desk that can be closed off during entertaining and blends in with the rest of the space.”

Designed by Sepi Zanjani of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Richmond, VA, this transitional two-finish kitchen design features Merillat Masterpiece cabinets in the Fairlane door style with 5 piece drawer front in 2 wood species and finishes. The perimeter kitchen cabinets feature Maple with a Canvas finish. The kitchen island cabinets feature Cherry with a Molasses finish.
Kitchen countertops are granite in the color White Ornamental with a 1/4" beveled edge and Kohler Simplice 596-VS faucet. The kitchen also features a Serpentine Accord SA96 tile backsplash.
According to the client, "Our kitchen was very small before and now we have a lot of space and the islands adds so much to the layout. Sepi had so many great ideas and suggestions. She had a great vision on how the kitchen would look and explained everything in detail. We told her things we wanted and didn't want and she was very accommodating to all our wants and needs."

The client was very excited to update her kitchen. She wanted a more inviting place to showcase her amazing cooking skills.
The layout remained but the end result was a more complete kitchen with more storage which allowed for more counter space. We updated the tile floor, kitchen cabinets, counter top, tile back splash and appliances. Our professional sub-contractors updated the electric and plumbing to code.
We finished the kitchen with a beautiful new gray paint which highlighted the counter top, grout color, appliances and floors.
Client said:
"Protech is a highly professional and more importantly, trustworthy company that strives to fully satisfy. They truly listened to my desires and made sure to explain all possible options and limitations that could lie ahead. I dealt with two of the owners (Paul, John) as well as their head foreman Will, who were all polite, always at the job site and kept everything clean. The end was everything and more than I was hoping for. While they were not the cheapest price wise, the cost is worth it in the end. You made me VERY HAPPY and PROUD of my new kitchen. THANK YOU!!!"

This steeply sloped property was converted into a backyard retreat through the use of natural and man-made stone. The natural gunite swimming pool includes a sundeck and waterfall and is surrounded by a generous paver patio, seat walls and a sunken bar. A Koi pond, bocce court and night-lighting provided add to the interest and enjoyment of this landscape.
This beautiful redesign was also featured in the Interlock Design Magazine. Explained perfectly in ICPI, “Some spa owners might be jealous of the newly revamped backyard of Wayne, NJ family: 5,000 square feet of outdoor living space, complete with an elevated patio area, pool and hot tub lined with natural rock, a waterfall bubbling gently down from a walkway above, and a cozy fire pit tucked off to the side. The era of kiddie pools, Coleman grills and fold-up lawn chairs may be officially over.”

Nancy Knickerbocker of Reico Kitchen and Bath in Southern Pines, NC designed a transitional kitchen design featuring Merillat Classic cabinetry.
The kitchen cabinets are in the Ralston door style with a Steel Grey finish, complimented with Caesarstone Taj Royal countertops.
The kitchen also includes Kohler Undertone undermount single-bowl D-shape kitchen sink, Kohler Graze faucet and Top Knobs Ash Grey hardware.
"We added accessories to make this small kitchen more functional," explained Nancy.
"By reducing the size of the sink base and opting for a D-shape sink, we created space for a trash cabinet. A wall filler near the range was changed to a spice pullout, transforming wasted corner space into storage. We installed a full lazy susan in the base corner cabinet by the range and a half-moon lazy susan by the dishwasher. I enjoyed the challenge of maximizing space, and I believe we succeeded.”

If I were to explain the atmosphere in this home, I’d say it’s happy. Natural light, unbelievable view of Lake Murray, the mountains, the green hills, the sky – I used those natural colors as inspiration to come up with a palette for this project. As a result, we were brave enough to go with 3 cabinet colors (natural, oyster and olive), a gorgeous blue granite that’s named Azurite (a very powerful crystal), new appliance layout, raised ceiling, and a hole in the wall (butler’s window) … quite a lot, considering that client’s original goal was to just reface the existing cabinets (see before photos).
This remodel turned out to be the most accurate representation of my clients, their way of life and what they wanted to highlight in a space so dear to them. You truly feel like you’re in an English countryside cottage with stellar views, quaint vibe and accessories suitable for any modern family. We love the final result and can’t get enough of that warm abundant light!
