Middlefork was retained to update and revitalize this North Shore home to a family of six. The primary goal of this project was to update and expand the home's small, eat-in kitchen. The existing space was gutted and a 1,500-square-foot addition was built to house a gourmet kitchen, connected breakfast room, fireside seating, butler's pantry, and a small office. The family desired nice, timeless spaces that were also durable and family-friendly. As such, great consideration was given to the interior finishes. The 10' kitchen island, for instance, is a solid slab of white velvet quartzite, selected for its ability to withstand mustard, ketchup and finger-paint. There are shorter, walnut extensions off either end of the island that support the children's involvement in meal preparation and crafts. Low-maintenance Atlantic Blue Stone was selected for the perimeter counters. The scope of this phase grew to include re-trimming the front façade and entry to emphasize the Georgian detailing of the home. In addition, the balance of the first floor was gutted; existing plumbing and electrical systems were updated; all windows were replaced; two powder rooms were updated; a low-voltage distribution system for HDTV and audio was added; and, the interior of the home was re-trimmed. Two new patios were also added, providing outdoor areas for entertaining, dining and cooking. Tom Harris, Hedrich Blessing

With a busy family who entertain often, presentation was a key for this kitchen – and that meant ample storage in multiple ways. For instance, Jennifer wanted to feature a pre-es- tablished baker’s rack, shelving and one sentimental item – a cutting board, which blends with the warm tones of the shelving. “We wanted the kitchen to look totally open; like IKEA’s Scandinavian styling” she says. “We also wanted one of those hidden drawers in the second drawer for spices.”

Clay. There are several types of Ukrainian clay used here. The walls are decorated in 9 different techniques. One of them, for instance, is commonly used in ceramic sculpture modelling. To get a texture with rhythmical dints, the walls were covered with clay and knocked with a wooden spoon until they got dry. Also, according to ancient Ukrainian traditions, the clay was mixed with flax seeds, rye, and wheat — this technique was used in the times of Trypillia.

’25 years ago’ design shows — that’s why this young family needed DiD to create a whole house transitional transformation in their newly purchased home. We refreshed or completely recreated every single room in this 5000sf Moorestown home. From removing the family room and entry murals, to shrinking down the overpowering fireplace, changing lighting, and custom creating furniture and built-ins to suit the needs of this energetic family of 6. Light and bright was the goal in most instances, with pocketed touches of moody blues and grays. We also accessorized and installed new window treatments throughout. Take a look and admire the new view. Now this family can truly say this home is ‘theirs’ in style and deed!

This East Greenville, PA kitchen remodel was part of an entire first-floor renovation. The homeowners had Meridian Construction design and construct a new kitchen in a completely different location—what you see here used to be the dining room. The homeowner and Meridian worked together to really create a beautiful, cohesive space. For instance, the grey subway tile backsplash was inspired by the home’s original brick wall. The bright gold hardware mixes well with the stainless appliances and fixtures, to create a very on-trend contemporary look. The floating wood shelves frame a sleek, modern downdraft. The combination of contemporary style with natural finishes really give this kitchen a luxurious yet homey feel. Check out how big of a change this kitchen remodel was in our Before & After Gallery.
