This client requested that we design her new kitchen space to look and function with her and her family’s usage in mind. She was not happy with her existing kitchen due to builder-grade ceramic flooring, lack of countertop space, poor lighting, inadequate and unorganized storage and the closed off feel of the area. Renovisions resolved all of these issues by designing and building an impressive, transitional styled kitchen; delivering a beautifully well thought-out space that provides a multi-functional approach and meets the needs of this busy and dynamic household. Typically, we encounter challenges in every project, and this was no different. The upstairs bathroom plumbing ran across the entire length of the kitchen sink wall and it was necessary to work with it by moving the plumbing as far up as possible and then building a soffit to hide it. Creating a space that has a more open feel was top of mind for our client. Installing a new wood floor that matched the existing dining room floor helped with this and in addition, warmed up the room. By relocating the refrigerator to the opposite wall and adding a bar area at the end toward the family room, the flow of traffic for family members and guests became more managed. The open floor plan allowed for additional island cabinets to accommodate smart storage and better functionality when prepping meals, sitting to eat or gathering with friends and family. We believe having ample countertop surface space is a critical improvement in any renovation and this particular project now boasts a large countertop area with a stunning wide vein pattern that accentuates the design instead of overpowering it. The soft look of the Blanco Arabescato quartz enhances the space and looks lovely with the white inset styled cabinetry. Beauty and function go hand-in-hand in this kitchen with several exceptional elements such as under-cabinet lighting with dimmers to control the mood light. Glass doors were added to the wall cabinets which flank the wine rack for displaying their decorative glassware and a beverage cooler below provided added convenience and access to cold beverages. The GE Café line of appliances in ‘Slate’ and ‘Stainless Steel’ finishes are a stunning contrast here. The sensational looking decorative marble 6”x6” backsplash tile over the gas range and in the bar area creates nice focal points by creating a unique look for her that family and guests love. Convenient and functional elements were added such as a blind corner pull-out for easier pot/pan storage, a sweep-o-vac under cabinet vacuum system for those constant quick clean-ups, a pull-out caddy under the sink base for storage of cleaning products and a protective mat to collect potential spills. Our client let us know it was time for a change and we listened. She shared a few pictures she loved from a home magazine, we shared our insight and then designed/built the kitchen of her dreams! … A fabulous and functional space.

This cozy lake cottage skillfully incorporates a number of features that would normally be restricted to a larger home design. A glance of the exterior reveals a simple story and a half gable running the length of the home, enveloping the majority of the interior spaces. To the rear, a pair of gables with copper roofing flanks a covered dining area that connects to a screened porch. Inside, a linear foyer reveals a generous staircase with cascading landing. Further back, a centrally placed kitchen is connected to all of the other main level entertaining spaces through expansive cased openings. A private study serves as the perfect buffer between the homes master suite and living room. Despite its small footprint, the master suite manages to incorporate several closets, built-ins, and adjacent master bath complete with a soaker tub flanked by separate enclosures for shower and water closet. Upstairs, a generous double vanity bathroom is shared by a bunkroom, exercise space, and private bedroom. The bunkroom is configured to provide sleeping accommodations for up to 4 people. The rear facing exercise has great views of the rear yard through a set of windows that overlook the copper roof of the screened porch below.

This lakefront home's kitchen draws from traditional Swedish design and style. A deep basin sink and calm color palette branch from cabinets to tile backsplash and articulate fixtures. All elements combine and bathe in the gorgeous natural light reflecting off the lake outside. Like a picture frame around a work of art, this kitchen complements, rather than competes, with the element the owners loved most: the view.

This sink zone proves that everyday functionality can be elevated with style. Nestled between soft gray shaker cabinets and set beneath a wide window that floods the space with natural light, this workstation makes cleanup and prep feel effortless. The stainless steel pull-down faucet is both elegant and efficient, while the custom multi-functional sink insert—with drying rack and wood cutting board—adds versatility to the workspace. The waterfall-edge quartz countertop continues the clean lines and subtle veining seen throughout the kitchen, making this area feel polished yet practical. Thoughtful upgrades like this make a big impact in how the kitchen feels and functions every day.

This veteran family first reached out to us after seeing Kitchen Solvers recommended in local Facebook communities. Their beautifully decorated Spring Hill home featured a kitchen that felt dated, lacked functionality, and simply didn't fit their lifestyle. Initially, they were considering cabinet refacing to give the space a fresh new look. However, after discussing the layout challenges and how they used the kitchen every day, they decided to invest in a complete remodel that would truly transform the space and better meet their needs. While the existing footprint offered limited opportunities for major layout changes, we focused on maximizing both style and functionality. The homeowners selected the stunning Ava door style in Dried Thyme, a color that perfectly complements their home. Additional upgrades included a custom Hoodsly range hood, beautiful soapstone countertops carried up the backsplash, added storage on the back of the island, popular organizational accessories, and enhanced task lighting throughout the kitchen. The result is a modern, elegant kitchen that blends seamlessly with the rest of the home. Best of all, the homeowners absolutely love their new space and are excited to entertain, host dinner parties, and enjoy cooking more than ever before.
