This client wanted an colorful, full of life kitchen they could create the best food in and be as stunning to look at as well. For starters, we reconfigured some base cabinets to large deep drawers and also have trash/recycle pull outs. The top cabinets now are extended to the ceiling for more storage. A custom designed tall cabinet that maximizes the storage space with a few deep drawers a recycle pull out and a side cabinet for brooms and such. Also houses two oven/microwaves. Granite countertops were an improvement from the original Formica ones. We said bye bye to the blue wallpaper and hello to a fresh warm neutral on the walls to make way for the two tone blue cabinets. We did the flooring in a herringbone pattern for even more interest. A custom designed center medallion piece above the stove adds a personal touch and a nice focal piece. A great project and very happy clients!

The new kitchen design includes double islands which helped improve circulation and provide direct access to the breakfast nook. At the opening, we opted for a two-tiered countertop with bar-height seating ideal for entertaining. The distinct blue-green island offers a pop of color against the backdrop of white counters, cabinets and backsplash. The textured zellige-style subway tile adds visual interest and pairs beautifully with the subtly veined quartz countertops, keeping the space feeling light and bright.
The new layout transforms the kitchen’s flow and the bright and welcoming breakfast nook is no longer cut off by the old peninsula. The center island provides a generous amount of prep space and storage and houses a stainless farmhouse sink, dishwasher, and trash roll-outs on one side with an additional bank of cabinets on the other. A new 6-burner gas cooktop was installed with a custom wood hood above. We incorporated a new microwave drawer and were able to repurpose our client’s existing double wall ovens and refrigerator that were only a few years old.

The kitchen is anchored by a La Cornue CornuFé 90 range in black with polished brass accents, creating a striking focal point.

The objective was to create a warm neutral space to later customize to a specific colour palate/preference of the end user for this new construction home being built to sell. A high-end contemporary feel was requested to attract buyers in the area. An impressive kitchen that exuded high class and made an impact on guests as they entered the home, without being overbearing. The space offers an appealing open floorplan conducive to entertaining with indoor-outdoor flow.
Due to the spec nature of this house, the home had to remain appealing to the builder, while keeping a broad audience of potential buyers in mind. The challenge lay in creating a unique look, with visually interesting materials and finishes, while not being so unique that potential owners couldn’t envision making it their own. The focus on key elements elevates the look, while other features blend and offer support to these striking components. As the home was built for sale, profitability was important; materials were sourced at best value, while retaining high-end appeal. Adaptations to the home’s original design plan improve flow and usability within the kitchen-greatroom. The client desired a rich dark finish. The chosen colours tie the kitchen to the rest of the home (creating unity as combination, colours and materials, is repeated throughout).

Thomspon Remodeling completed a total renovation of this condo and infused the owner's traditional design aesthetic by updating finishes and improving functionality.
A wall was removed to create an open floor plan between the kitchen and family room, two bathrooms were remodeled, a new fireplace surround was added, and the main staircase was updated.
Notice the unique tile designs used in the kitchen, fireplace surround, and master bath. The rich, textured brown horizontal tile suits this owner's personal style and is carried throughout the condo. Above the stove, a herringbone inset was added to create a focal point.
The guest bathroom features a floating vanity, which gives this traditional space a little bit of a modern edge. The master bathroom has a fabulous tile feature wall above the double vanity.
Lighting was carefully considered throughout to create the perfect balance with all the natural light in the main areas. Cool industrial style light fixtures add a pop of interest in the kitchen, entryway, and living room.

A Little Light Makes All the Difference! ☀️
As part of a larger home renovation for a family in Brookhaven, Georgia, Intown Craftsmen updated the dining area, family room, and adjoining porch to create brighter, more inviting living spaces.
We cut a new opening through the home's brick exterior to bring additional natural light into the dining area, creating a brighter and more welcoming space.
In the adjoining family room, we replaced the original doors leading to the porch with expansive glass accordion doors, also known as bifold patio doors. These beautiful doors provide an impressive connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

This kitchen transformation completely reimagined the heart of the home. What was once a dark, dated space with heavy wood cabinetry is now a bright, airy, and highly functional kitchen designed for modern living. Crisp white cabinetry paired with soft veining quartz countertops instantly opens the room, creating a timeless and elegant feel while maximizing natural light.
Functionality was a major focus in this renovation. The new layout provides abundant storage with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, deep drawers, and thoughtfully designed organization solutions that make everyday use effortless. A large central island offers generous prep space, additional seating, and improved flow for entertaining and family gatherings. Accessibility was also carefully considered, with easy-to-reach storage, wide walkways, and a more open, user-friendly design that enhances both comfort and convenience.
The custom details bring warmth and sophistication to the space. A striking herringbone backsplash creates visual interest and serves as a beautiful focal point behind the range, while matte black hardware and statement pendant lighting add modern contrast. Stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and clean architectural lines complete the look, resulting in a kitchen that feels fresh, luxurious, and welcoming all at once.
