This Loudonville couple started by getting a quote to finish their attic space, but then changed gears and decided the kitchen was more important at this time. Estimator Anthony and designer Justina from Bennett Contracting went to work on a new design. The home is an older colonial with classic features, and the existing kitchen was a poorly laid out 90’s nightmare. With children in the home the island cooktop alone was a constant danger. By adding a window and removing the wall from the dining room, the new kitchen is much brighter and connected to the rest of the home. Bennett removed the old vinyl tile and continued the wood flooring into the new kitchen space. Justina admits it was so much fun working on this project because the owners were open to all sorts of design features. Roll-outs in most cabinets, hidden bread boards, hutch coffee bar, brass chicken wire, and the very cool antique foot rail. Then there are the custom cabinet colors. RD Henry Cabinets matched Glidden paint colors to get the exact color the client desired. They even sent three cabinet samples to get it right. These classic features combined with the modern design brings new life to the space.

The close floor view shows small black hexagons arranged within a white hex-tile field. This repeating mosaic pattern brings French bistro character to the project, linking kitchen and bathroom floors through a consistent geometric detail and clean black-and-white contrast. Cedarstone Renovations connected this Toronto kitchen and bathroom project with black-and-white hex tiles and gold accents. Bathroom updates, a refreshed powder room and repainted kitchen cabinet doors create a coordinated interior with a French bistro influence.
