This space once was an over sized laundry room. At the homeowners request we opened this space to create a wet bar/entertaining area. The pass-thru window was added for easy entertaining - our homeowner can be prepping food or mixing drinks and continue a conversation with guests in the other room.

When meeting with our homeowners for this dining room and kitchen renovation project, they presented us with a large wish list. This busy family of five loves to cook and entertain for their large extended family. They felt their current dining room was not functioning to its fullest potential. It felt cramped, dark, outdated, and had no flair. They wanted more room for storage, and convenient areas to mix drinks. They also wanted to keep their vintage dining table. We began by laying the room out with a brand new custom built in dry bar with a beverage refrigerator. The bar design included a lot of storage for wine, and all of the barware necessities. The homeowners love bold shades of blue, so we wrapped the walls in Benjamin Moore Galapagos Turquoise. We created a focal wall treatment using painted wood and wallpaper. Silk dupioni drapery add elegance to the windows, along with cozy soft blue chairs, and a spectacular crystal chandelier.

Under the stairs a bar sink and 15" dishwasher was incorporated. The perfect spot for the bartender to mix drinks and to load and unload the dishwasher.

THE SETUP These homeowners had an outdoor kitchen built when they built their home several years ago. It was functional, but the aesthetic was underwhelming. The island was clad in the same stone that was on the house, and it had basic black granite countertops. They love to grill and host outdoor gatherings, so an upgrade was definitely in order. Design Objectives: Create an elevated outdoor space that aligns with the grandeur of the elegant home Design of the new space should flow with the architecture of the house Include a serving area with a beverage fridge, a sink, and a faucet Allow for workspace in the grill area Include island seating THE REMODEL Design Challenges: Creating a layout that is in sync with the exterior architecture of the home Sourcing the perfect state-of-the-art grill with all the latest bells and whistles, and placing in an ideal layout that maximizes functionality and hospitality Specifying materials that will withstand the elements Design Solutions: A large curved island designed to mirror the curve of the home’s breakfast nook exterior A separate sink area with a disposal and a beverage fridge offers a functional space for mixing drinks and serving food Custom limestone posts echo the limestone details on the exterior of the home Diresco Quartz countertops add elegance and durability – they are designed to be used outdoors in harsh climates Decorative tile clads the sides and back of the island A raised bed for flowers and herbs adds color and softness to the space Undercounter lighting adds ambiance at night THE RENEWED SPACE From great backyard to true oasis – an outdoor kitchen makes makes elegant outdoor cooking and dining possible. The homeowners had their first outdoor kitchen cookout experience right away and report that they couldn’t be happier!
