THE SETUP Our journey began with a familiar face — Alicia had previously transformed the client’s mother’s home, establishing a trusted relationship that naturally led to this personal project. The client desired a kitchen that truly reflected her own style while facilitating seamless entertaining. Design Vision: The original kitchen, segregated from the dining area by a wall, hindered the flow of interaction and space. Our client envisioned a unified area where she could engage with guests in both the kitchen and dining room simultaneously. Moreover, the space lacked a central island, relying instead on a floorplan anchored by cabinetry in a u-shaped layout. Design Objectives: Open up the space for an airy design conducive to entertaining large gatherings Modernize the kitchen to be both stylish and functional Integrate the design with the home’s new black-framed windows and doors Relocate the cooktop to a central position to enhance usability and interaction Design Challenges: Removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room would necessitate the rerouting of existing HVAC ductwork that services the upper floor Limited pantry space in the existing kitchen The existing u-shaped layout of the kitchen restricted functionality and storage options Insufficient space for wine storage The client desired a raised-furniture look for the island, but without showing a new downdraft vent THE RENEWED SPACE Design Solutions: We added a second HVAC unit to the upper floor and rerouted the existing ductwork in that wall Created tall pantry pullouts on either side of the fridge to maximize dry goods storage Designed a long island to facilitate cooking stations and dining moments Created a stylish open display cabinet for wine Engineered a dual-design island with a footed floating aesthetic on one side, and a full floor reach on the other to conceal the new downdraft ventilation. Paired with the newly opened adjacent dining room featuring a wet bar, the kitchen has become a stylish and highly functional space for cooking and entertaining. Following a large baby shower hosted by the client (which seamlessly accommodated an 80-person gathering!), it is clear that the new design not only meets but exceeds the needs for hosting and everyday living. This project was a harmonious blend of the client’s vision and Alicia’s innovative design solutions, resulting in a kitchen that truly embodies personalized elegance and functionality.

Small in footprint but significant in impact, this Lakewood, Colorado kitchen renovation proves that limited square footage does not have to limit exceptional design. HouseHome transformed the tiny, dated kitchen into an elevated, highly functional space that feels open, warm and remarkably spacious. Custom walnut cabinetry brings richness and natural character to the room while maximizing every inch of available storage. Sleek porcelain slab countertops introduce a refined, uninterrupted surface, complemented by concrete-look tile that adds texture and an organic, grounded quality. Floating walnut shelves provide functional storage without the visual weight of additional upper cabinets, helping the compact kitchen feel larger and more inviting. Modern brass fixtures and thoughtfully placed track lighting add a warm, sophisticated glow while creating a striking contrast against the kitchen’s earthy materials. Behind the beautiful finishes, the space received a complete renovation—including all-new appliances, electrical systems and plumbing—to deliver the durability, convenience and performance expected of a modern luxury kitchen. Designed for a rental property, this project required an intentional balance of elevated style, lasting materials and everyday practicality. The result is a distinctive organic modern kitchen that enhances the home’s value, attracts discerning renters and demonstrates how thoughtful interior design can completely redefine a small space. This Lakewood kitchen remodel is a true HouseHome transformation: luxurious, functional and designed to make every square foot feel extraordinary.

The wider door detail reveals how the dark frame divides the glazing into measured rectangular sections around the long vertical pull. Its narrow profiles allow the low tan seating, blue-gray throw, and bright window beyond to remain visually connected to the adjoining space. Pale wood flooring at the bottom of the view extends that continuity across the threshold. Daylight and reflections animate the glass, while the wrapped handle introduces a darker, more tactile line close to the viewer. The combination has a clear contemporary character, balancing an architectural boundary with an open view. The lounge would remain part of the apartment’s visual life even when seen through the glazed panels.
