Bakes & Kropp remodeled this former showhouse kitchen to reflect the personalities of its owners—and with 450 square feet to work with, the team had plenty of space to be creative. The kitchen now includes two sinks, two dishwashers, two fridges, and a large French Top stove to support the owner’s preferred cooking style. The space is elegant but comfortable and carefully blends a mixture of walnut, painted cabinetry, stone, and metal accents. Just a few standout design details include the walnut ceiling patterning, the metal mesh overlay on the cabinet doors sourced from Armac Martin, and a custom range hood unlike any the Bakes & Kropp team had created before.

Previously closed-in galley kitchen with the original early 60's appliances was opened up to the dining and living rooms. New floor, new cabinetry, new appliances, new fixtures, new lighting. Frosted glass doors in upper cabinets. Quartz countertops and to-ceiling ceramic-tile backsplash.

Quinn and Paige, residents of this tired 1960’s tri-level home hated their kitchen. As a matter of fact, prior to making plans to renovate the first floor - they considered selling the home, but were reluctant because of its enviable location near the heart of downtown Barrington which was within walking distance to local stores and all their favorite places. So instead they contacted Advance Design Studio after hearing about them from a neighbor, to rescue their tired home and give it new life. The very first plan was to remove the constricting walls surrounding the original kitchen, and open the expansive first floor living room and dining area to the new heart of the space; a stunning state of the art coastal designed kitchen. Exposing attractive beams in the vaulted ceiling created an interesting structural detail that suits the open plan and salutes the original architecture of the home, further emphasizing the height of the new space enjoyed now by the family as a great room. The stage was set for the seaside feel of this kitchen by pairing crisp white painted maple cabinets with Dura Supreme’s one of kind hand weathered finish on the island in soft blue-green finish. But the authentic feeling of being on your favorite beach was supremely achieved by the matching of unique Mt. Claire marble on the island and the specialty Wareham acid washed stone on the perimeter counter tops. Pictures don’t do justice to the feel of this stone under your hand; its water-washed texture reminds instantly of summer vacations collecting rocks softly etched by hundreds of waves. Stainless steel appliances and satin nickel hardware shine brightly against the backdrop of bright white subway tiles accentuated by subtle grey grout lines contributing to the nautical feel of this comfortable kitchen. Seeded glass door cabinetry reminiscent of beach grasses dress up the space just enough, and a proud 6” stacked crown molding extends above 36” wall cabinets into the expanse of the now taller space; balancing this kitchen nicely within its newly integrated home. Features in this kitchen include a built in standard depth refrigerator, pull out spice racks, tall tray dividers and wood super Susan with double pull out trash and recycling. A cutlery divider holds sharp knives, and an angled cabinet was customized to hold a secret USB charging station. The bright white Kohler farm sink is graced by an elegant bridge faucet in brushed nickel. This now airy and spacious kitchen has room for guest and family to congregate around the large island, complete with stools and attractive hidden storage for seldom used entertainment pieces. “I was sold when I saw the drawings. My designer nailed it, down to every last storage idea and coastal detail I envisioned, it was all in there. It was unbelievable how accurate her interpretation was of what was in my head; working with her made my kitchen renovation so easy, it’s as if she literally read my mind”, said Paige enthusiastically. The woman of the house expressed upon completion not only her love for her fantastic new cooking space, but how renovating her kitchen has given new life to the entire home. Talk of moving has been relegated to the recycling bin, and instead the family is discussing plans to renovate the master bath now that they’ve decided to stay for the long term. Friends who visit the home do a double-take as they recognize the new space’s dramatic transformation from original cramped and closed spaces - to the now amazingly fresh open kitchen that has become the center of every gathering and family meal.

This project we recently completed in Manhattan Beach had an original floor plan with a dark, closed off kitchen. The homeowners' desire to open up the space by removing the common wall between the dining room and kitchen came with a structural challenge; we had to keep a support beam. Our Great Room feel was successful by removing the wall, but leaving just the post which we wrapped with walnut panels to match their new cabinetry. Our team also removed a section of the mirrored wall, turning it into a beautifully framed mirror piece to finish off the family's new Great Room.

This galley kitchen was widen by straightening out a wall to the left of the island and adding approximately 10' space back. Bruce Rosenquist our building designer was able to determine a way to remove the existing support columns, so we could open the entire space.

This remodel brought an elegant kitchen with the distressed knotty cherry wood with the burn through technique finish. Island accented with large decorative corbels and onlays. The refrigerator has appliance panels to match the cabinetry with onlays on doors and crown moulding above cabinetry throughout kitchen Spice pull out draws on each side of the range. On back side of island is the 33" single bow sink w/scroll design. Next to the sink is the double 50qt pull out garbage can with cutting board.

In a traditional '4-square' center hall home, the kitchen was too small for an island. The home's living room and dining room were both used infrequently, while the family room and kitchen were used constantly. The original kitchen was open to the breakfast area and family room, so we took down the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room, using a new beam (see photo) to support the space. This created space for a 12-foot island, and the bay window in the 'old' dining room became a sunny spot for two swivel chairs. What was the living room, is now the dining room. The owner selected a hand-made copper range hood for a dramatic focal point. The new kitchen is zoned for prep and clean up. The paneled french door refrigerator is balanced by a matching pantry on the opposite end. The kitchen, now visible from the foyer, needed to be dressed up. Furniture-style details, and crystal lighting elevate the space from it's formerly function-only look.

A very unusual layout and two immovable posts meant designer Janice Teague had to get very creative. An angled wall was removed to create a perfect niche for the range and oven, tall pantry cabinets on the right were designed to hide a support post while providing ample storage, and the glass shelved wall in the middle seamlessly hides the second post.

When these homeowners first approached me to help them update their kitchen, the first thing that came to mind was to open it up. The house was over 70 years old and the kitchen was a small boxed in area, that did not connect well to the large addition on the back of the house. Removing the former exterior, load bearinig, wall opened the space up dramatically. Then, I relocated the sink to the new peninsula and the range to the outside wall. New windows were added to flank the range. The homeowner is an architect and designed the stunning hood that is truly the focal point of the room. The shiplap island is a complex work that hides 3 drawers and spice storage. The original slate floors have radiant heat under them and needed to remain. The new greige cabinet color, with the accent of the dark grayish green on the custom furnuture piece and hutch, truly compiment the floor tones. Added features such as the wood beam that hides the support over the peninsula and doorway helped warm up the space. There is also a feature wall of stained shiplap that ties in the wood beam and ship lap details on the island.
