A classic Portland foursquare, lovingly owned by an active and lively family of four, had undergone some unfortunate previous renovations that were in desperate need of updating. A cramped kitchen layout, lacking countertop work space, non-functional appliance locations (the range was floating on it’s own!), cramped kitchen nook not large enough for eat-in space and therefor left underutilized, and a general lack of storage all needed to be addressed. To increase functional space, we enclosed a small back porch and re-built the adjacent nook, folding in the square footage to create an expansive kitchen footprint. We relocated the back door and added a back deck while creating space for a mud bench for littles to tuck away their gear! The enlarged kitchen now boasts a extensive natural light thanks to the addition of several windows. An easy work flow was created within the new kitchen layout featuring an in-island sink with range and hood flanked by matching windows. Custom cabinet accessories make storage a breeze and provide a space for all the necessities to be right at the homeowner’s fingertips. The eat-in kitchen space allows not only for lingering family chats, but homework and craft projects to be done while dinner simmers on the stove. This kitchen truly is the heart of this home! All of the updates were completed with the home’s original foursquare architecture in mind. with a focus on classic architectural molding styles, traditional window details, and clean-lined classic fixtures. Youthfulness and modernity are infused into the space with the contemporary handmade tile backsplash, rich and timeless green cabinets, and artistic wallpaper with a whimsical floral print and subtle European nod. The custom range in cream and brass is a stunning showstopper and a testament that even the most functional of elements in a kitchen can still be beautiful! Which one is the star of the show? How do we pick just one?!

This stunning kitchen transformation proves that warm, earthy tones can be just as striking as classic white — and far more personal. The result is a sophisticated, chef-caliber space that feels layered, collected, and completely livable, with a color story rooted in nature and elevated by thoughtful material choices throughout. The perimeter cabinetry is finished in a rich warm greige — that perfect blend of gray and beige that feels both current and timeless — running floor to ceiling with generous crown molding detail and brushed brass bar pulls that catch the light beautifully. The custom range hood, painted to match and finished with elegant curved molding, anchors the cooking wall and creates an architectural focal point that draws the eye immediately upon entering the room. The central island makes a bold and confident design statement in a contrasting sage green, a color choice that bridges the warm cabinetry and cool marble-look quartz countertops with unexpected harmony. The island countertop — a striking Calacatta-style quartz with dramatic gold veining — extends across all perimeter surfaces, tying the entire kitchen together under one cohesive material story. A large white farmhouse apron-front sink sits within the island, paired with a brushed champagne bronze gooseneck faucet and matching pot filler above the range — hardware details that elevate the space from beautiful to truly bespoke. The backsplash deserves its own moment: a full-field installation of a tone-on-tone marble mosaic tile in soft white, warm gray, and hints of gold runs wall to wall and floor to ceiling behind the range — a shimmering, textural surface that catches the light throughout the day and gives the kitchen an almost jewel-box quality up close. Three oversized sage green dome pendant lights with brass interiors and gold rods hang above the island, echoing the island color and creating a perfectly coordinated, designer-curated look. The professional-grade Wolf dual-fuel range with signature red knobs commands the cooking wall — a statement appliance that signals serious culinary intent while adding a pop of bold color that energizes the otherwise soft palette. Panel-ready refrigerator cabinetry seamlessly integrates the appliance wall into the overall design, maintaining the clean, furniture-like quality of the custom cabinetry throughout. The remodel extends into the adjacent family room, where a full fireplace surround tiled in the same marble mosaic as the kitchen backsplash creates a cohesive design thread between the two spaces. A warm wood mantel, linen drapery, and a mix of cognac leather and cream upholstery complete a sitting area that feels like a natural, harmonious extension of the kitchen beyond.

The kitchen now streatches along the full rear wall of the home. The new kitchen layout provides an abundance of food prep and cooking zones allowing for multiple chefs. A sitting area is now in front of the window as a perfect area for reading the paper or for homework. Led accent up lighting can change colors depending on the homeowners preference. The area now flows from the kitchen to the dining room, and into the mudroom.

This outdoor kitchen is equipped with a beverage cooler, sink, stainless steel range, 36" BBQ, pop up outdoor TV, patio heater and an 11' x 19' skylight in the roof. All cabinets, columns, beams and privacy screen are vertical grain fir, sourced locally. The decking is Garapa.

The major kitchen renovation of this old country farmhouse was a task of love, one that had been planned for many years by these Barrington seasoned homeowners. After interviewing no less than five companies, the homeowners chose the design team at Advance Design Studio to make the transformation they had long planned for. “They had an understanding of the right design for the space almost from the instant they walked in the room”, says Sharon Scott of the design team of Nicole Ryan at Todd Jurs at Advance Design Studio. “They were the only designers who laid out ideas in the first meeting at the house that we really loved”, she says. “It was obvious that they understood the house, and understood us - and from then on the decision to hire them literally made itself”. The original kitchen had a dividing “wall” of cabinetry…that made the rather large space seem very small, and cut off the kitchen from the eating area that has a beautiful garden view completely hidden from the main kitchen. Circulation was poor, leaving family members on top of one another when entertaining family and friends. The new kitchen design nearly doubles the kitchen size within the original space; opening it up completely and enjoying an expansive island containing a new Kohler Whitehaven Smart Divide farm sink, a dishwasher, and pull out double trash receptacle. The great new gathering space accommodates four pull out stools beckoning grandchildren and friends alike. Removing the range from the island and relocating it to create a dramatic “feature” wall, completely out of the way of guests; it is now crowned with a beautiful completely customized wood hood designed to ventilate much more efficiently than the original island range containing a limited downdraft system. The much more efficient use of the space after removing a pantry closet made way for a fully functional “tall wall” housing a double oven and refrigerator, out of the way of guests. Removing the restrictive cabinetry wall now allowed for an expansive floor to ceiling pantry cabinet with full extension pull out shelving, and an elegant display area complete with a beautiful furniture detailed buffet. Fitting perfectly into the farmhouse charm of the old estate, Medallion Silver Lancaster cabinetry was chosen in a soft white Maple Divinity paint finish lining the perimeter. The stunning island hints to this old home’s past with Medallion Gold’s Maple Devonshire style graced with a Carriage Black Heirloom painted finish. The rubbed off black paint finish reveals the soft wood tones beneath, mimicking furniture you’d see in your grandmother’s home that has lovingly been polished for years to reveal a soft, subtly rubbed-off sheen. Counter tops reverse contrast with perimeter tops of black “Raven” granite possessing a subtle honed finish, and a shift to Quartz Difinity Viareggio - resembling white Carrera marble on the island. A simple herringbone detail completes the decorative range wall, and subtle porcelain subway tiles grace the backsplash throughout. The design is finished off with crisp Thermador and Bosch stainless steel appliances, and bright brushed cup pull and handle combination hardware. A pull down Kohler Bellaria faucet makes cleanup a breeze, and soft under-cabinet LED lighting throughout makes every work surface shine softly, and highlights the cabinetry display area with grace. One special detail was created to make the dramatic ceiling transition to a vaulted area above the breakfast nook extra special. A tongue and groove solid wood ceiling was hung above, and a subtle greenish-grey distressed paint finish was hand developed on site by the talented crew, complementing the new kitchen with a completely unique surface that appears as if it’s been there for many, many years. It’s just one standout feature in the amazing new space that is sure to be in every conversation as newcomers enjoy the newest best hangout in this old home renewed! After 30 years of renovating homes, this now content homeowner sips a cup of tea enjoying her new garden view, and reminisces projects of past – and lastly reports their experience with Advance Design Studio culminating with their amazing new kitchen to be the most enjoyable and satisfying home experience yet.
