This kitchen underwent an extensive renovation with all new appliances and adding a picture window in the back to provide a view of the backyard. The DEANE designer loves how the color palette is a departure from the current all-white trend. The rustic, industrial custom hood is made with burnished metals that play off the oil-rubbed bronze hardware and the lighting fixtures. The over-sized island is made from two book-matched pieces of Taj Mahal quartzite – a natural stone, practically indestructible and a fantastic choice for this family of five. The island cabinets reflect the growing trend of using warmer, natural tones. The Weimaraner color which was used anchors the island against the creamy perimeter cabinets. The large island was designed with the owners’ love of cooking and making pasta together as a family.

Designer: Emily Blonigen
Home Style: Tudor
Design Style: Traditional
Project Completion Date: November 2016
This 1938 South Minneapolis Tudor was ready for a Kitchen remodel that not only improved the aesthetics, but also the function. Luckily, the home was asking for a larger kitchen. By removing what was originally a breakfast room or informal dining, we were able to expand the kitchen for new potential. A new archway was designed to open the new kitchen to the formal dining and living room. We had a small list of “must haves” including a large pantry wall, double oven, and custom bench seating. All new custom cabinetry was designed with practical storage including a lazy susan corner, trash/recycle pull-out, sink tip-out, full extension drawers, shelf pull-outs, silverware organizers, tray tip-up, pocket door appliance garage, a space in the pantry for their vacuum, and a messaging corner. To complement the homes dark woodwork and stone front facade, new porcelain slate tile floors, rich cherry stained cabinets, and natural slate tile backsplash were paired with a neutral Cambria quartz countertop. Fun details were included across the room including a new Kohler cast iron sink, Delta Touch-less faucet, pewter knobs and pulls, bronze lighting, and a rich wall color by Benjamin Moore. The homeowner’s couldn’t be happier and are enjoying the new kitchen with family and friends.

The goal of the project was to transform the lower level into a warm, inviting living space that blends seamlessly with the rest of the house while adding practical everyday functionality.

Kitchen from condo renovation in Upper West Side, Manhattan.
ABOUT THE RENOVATION
Very often, getting what you want is simply about timing. After years of owning her Upper West Side co-op in Lincoln Square and making various small renovations along the way, our client decided to go all-out and advance with her dream renovation after being eased into the significant decision by our full-service design-build approach, extensive pre-planning process, out of the box design strategy, and thorough estimate. The results of this stunning renovation speak for themselves.
SPACIOUS CENTERPIECE KITCHEN
With many condos in Manhattan, the kitchen is the home’s focal point. In this case, the client’s goal was to reinvigorate this critical space via a classic interior design style with modern and contemporary touches. Beyond introducing updated appliances and pendant lighting, we added immaculate natural stone countertops and backsplash, along with opaque Tribeca shaker cabinets throughout the space.
TWO BATHROOMS, TWICE AS NICE
When the opportunity to add a bathroom to your Manhattan condo presents itself, you take advantage. Part of our renovation of this USW condo included an additional bathroom, in addition to a total overhaul of the ensuite bathroom. For the main bath, we turned the dreary old space into a soft and elegant sanctuary that’s warming as the sunlight beaming in, thanks to the sleek nickel-finish fixtures and custom marble tile. In the newly-created guest bathroom, we delivered an upscale, timeless design incorporating gleaming subway tiles, bold brass fixtures, and exquisite deco hexagon flooring.
PERMA-WFH OFFICE WITH CUSTOM MURPHY BED & STORAGE
After being thrust into a permanent work from home schedule due to the pandemic, our client decided to incorporate more of a formal home office space into her guest bedroom - a space where she also required additional storage. The problem was she didn't want to give up the practicality of a spare bedroom. To maintain the added bedroom availability and also provide a proper office space, we created a custom Murphy bed and desk area with custom millwork for enhanced organization with a perfectly narrow personal desk area nestled to the left of the large built-in.

An open-plan space can make the most of its footprint by incorporating a beautiful, oversized island at its heart. The clients love entertaining, so the island needed to be positioned overlooking the dining table, allowing them to connect with guests and family members.
The island’s 304cm x 134cm size allowed room to incorporate a whole host of practical solutions, including an under-mount sink with a burnished brass Quooker tap, intelligent storage, a dishwasher, pull out bin and stunning Ercol bar stools. Not only is the island functional, but it’s also imbued with a sense of personality. Our striking Avocado paint colour marries beautifully with a crisp Caesarstone Organic White work surface. At the same time, open storage creates the perfect space to display books and eclectic decor collected by the family.

Designed for everyday ease, this entryway offers the perfect blend of functionality and style. Deep navy custom cabinetry, matte brass hooks, and a natural wood bench provide warmth and organization. Durable tile flooring ensures longevity, while clean lines and intentional materials elevate the space.
This mudroom sits just off the home’s main artery, giving the family a beautiful and practical place to pause. The entryway you didn’t know you needed—until now.

This kitchen remodel was driven by the desire to create a space that embodies both warmth and functionality. The project involved a complete overhaul, removing the existing kitchen and installing new appliances and plumbing fixtures. Key design changes included a reconfigured entry and plan layout, with strategic shifts in appliance placement and the addition of a freestanding island with storage and seating for two. The color palette features sage green paint grade custom cabinets, inspired by the client's spices and teas collection. The cabinet faces are complemented by obscure glass inserts and satin nickel hardware. The materials chosen provided both beauty and practicality: quartzite for the cooking surfaces and backsplashes, an end grain oak butcher block for the island top. Light-toned oak hardwood flooring replaced the original, creating a cohesive and bright atmosphere. Architectural highlights include integrated under-cabinet and upper cabinet lighting, enhancing the space functionality and ambiance. The kitchen has become a vibrant, multi-functional hub that supports daily routines and culinary adventures for the young family. Feedback from the clients highlighted the balance of beauty and functionality, making the space an extension of their lifestyle.

This project showcases a stunning transformation that combines thoughtful design, functional upgrades, and meticulous craftsmanship. At its heart is a fully renovated kitchen featuring custom shaker cabinets with a luxurious, soft green custom paint finish. These cabinets are complemented by an elegant engineered quartz countertop, creating a clean and timeless aesthetic.
To further enhance the space, the addition of a skylight brings in natural light, brightening the area and giving it an open, airy feel. The patterned tile flooring adds a bold and stylish touch, tying together traditional and modern elements. The carefully designed bench seating with built-in storage provides practicality and charm, perfect for a cozy and functional corner by the entrance.
The renovation went beyond aesthetic improvements. All electrical and mechanical systems were reconfigured to meet the demands of the updated layout, ensuring optimal functionality and safety. Additionally, structural repairs in the floor above were expertly executed to enhance the home’s stability and longevity.
Outside, the addition blends seamlessly with the existing structure, featuring durable and stylish siding that adds curb appeal. A thoughtfully constructed deck completes the exterior, offering a versatile space for outdoor enjoyment.
This project reflects the seamless integration of thoughtful design, technical expertise, and superior craftsmanship, resulting in a home that is as beautiful as it is functional.
