This comprehensive main floor remodel transformed a dated early-2000s home into a warm, distinctive space tailored for modern family life and effortless entertaining. Located in Northwest Indiana, the home’s renovation included the kitchen, living room, dining-to-sitting room conversion, office, mudroom, and laundry—each space reimagined with layered detail and a cohesive design language. The project’s primary goal was to move away from builder-grade finishes and create a home full of character and comfort. In the kitchen, we reworked the layout to improve flow—removing a restrictive peninsula, extending the island for added seating, and designing a custom hood and cabinetry plan that worked around existing structural beams. A warmer palette of earth tones and neutrals reflected the clients’ personal style, while upgraded lighting, a statement range, and a larger pantry elevated functionality. A double-sided fireplace connecting the kitchen and living room was redesigned to feel more intentional, with cohesive materials used on both faces. In the living area, a previously underwhelming wet bar became a standout moment with deep green cabinetry, a wine fridge, and built-in storage—adding both function and sophistication. Throughout the project, structural limitations and narrow footprints presented design challenges that were met with custom solutions—from a uniquely shaped island to intentional lighting plans that worked around ceiling beams. The final result is a highly personal, connected series of spaces that support both everyday routines and meaningful moments of gathering—infused with warmth, purpose, and a relaxed sense of luxury.

The original kitchen featured dark cherry cabinetry with ornate corbels, Tuscan-inspired tile, outdated bronze hardware, and insufficient lighting that made the space feel heavy and visually closed off. While the cabinetry itself was high quality, the clients were unsure whether to paint or replace it and wanted reassurance that their investment would feel timeless. The design solution focused on refinement rather than removal. Existing cabinetry was repainted in a warm neutral tone to immediately brighten the space while complementing the existing stone flooring, and decorative corbels were replaced with simplified profiles to modernize the cabinetry without altering its original construction. Moon Valley quartz countertops established a cohesive palette with subtle warm undertones, while Tuscan-style tile was replaced with classic white subway tile to visually open the space. Patterned tile accents were selectively incorporated at the range and adjacent coffee station, and the range feature was simplified by eliminating the original arch to create a cleaner focal point. Lighting played a critical role in the transformation, with glass and brushed gold fixtures significantly improving brightness and maintaining open sightlines into the adjacent living and dining areas. A new side-by-side refrigerator was custom paneled to match the cabinetry profile, and bulky island seating was replaced with slim-profile barstools upholstered in durable performance materials—supporting an active, family-focused lifestyle. The result is a warm, cohesive transitional kitchen defined by thoughtful restraint, improved function, and lasting appeal.

Katherine wanted her kitchen to feel more open and streamlined. The goal was to create a layout that better supported storage and movement, while choosing materials that brought in a subtle, calming style. The remodel began with the removal of the original soffit, followed by new drywall installation and texture work to refresh the ceiling area. HVAC ducting was rerouted, two new vents were added. New base, upper, and tall cabinets were added using Waypoint’s 470F line in Painted Sage. These were paired with 3 ¾” Matte Black Naples handles by Elements. An upper spice rack insert was factory-installed beside the stove, adding organization where it was needed most. Quartz countertops in MSI's Calacatta Idillio were installed, giving a bright and timeless appeal. The backsplash was finished with Arizona Tile’s Ivory Flash 3x12, and extended around the window and above the stovetop to tie the design. A new 30” Kraus stainless steel sink was installed, complete with a matching basket strainer and basin rack. Under-sink plumbing was updated, and an InSinkErator Badger ½ HP garbage disposal was added with a Delta matte black countertop air switch. The new Delta Essa kitchen faucet in matte black added a bold visual anchor to the sink area. The appliances, including a microwave hood, counter-depth refrigerator, and standard stovetop oven range, were installed in the reconfigured layout to enhance usability. Katherine’s kitchen now offers modern efficiency, cohesive styling, and a layout that elevates everyday cooking and hosting. Her thoughtful design choices brought a calm and sophisticated energy to the space, making it as functional as it is beautiful.

This Stoneunlimited Kitchen is nearly unrecognizable after its renovation from its once outdated past. A wall separated the kitchen from the dining space. Taking down the wall and installing a slide in range in the island, opened up the kitchen and made the space expansive. Floor to ceiling Waypoint cabinets in Linen finish with glass upper doors were installed on the wall of the refrigerator and desk which now provide maximum storage capacity. The large island is the focal point of the room and provides a space for cooking meals. The island was also designed to replace the breakfast table that had been used previously. Our client opted for a darker finish called Cherry Slate on the Waypoint cabinets which match the floating shelves on the tiled wall of the sink. Three substantially sized turned posts were used to support the 10 ft. Raineer countertop.

Joey desired a spacious and functional kitchen suitable for cooking and entertaining. He envisioned an open layout with ample seating around an enlarged island, improved storage, and a dedicated pantry. To fulfill this vision, significant changes were made to the existing kitchen layout. The original island was replaced with a larger, dual-sided island featuring white shaker cabinets and a matching granite/quartz countertop. An 80-inch countertop overhang was installed, supported by sturdy legs and brackets, providing additional seating space. A pantry was seamlessly added into the adjacent office space, complete with new framing, drywall, texture, and pocket doors for easy access. Contemporary pendant lights illuminate the expanded island and dining areas, while recessed lighting enhances pantry visibility. Sleek floating shelves were added for extra storage and visual interest. Matching luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed in impacted areas to maintain consistency and elegance. This remodel exceeded expectations, resulting in an inviting and cohesive kitchen space. Thoughtful integration of storage, contemporary elements, and an expanded layout has greatly enhanced both functionality and appearance.

This kitchen remodel was years in the making — the result of thoughtful planning, careful conversation, and a client whose passion for baking and cooking runs deep. Having even studied culinary arts overseas, she came to us with a clear vision: her kitchen needed to work as beautifully as it looked. Because her home is full of personality and eclectic charm, our design needed to honor that spirit while elevating function. The existing shell featured multiple wood tones, so choosing materials that blended seamlessly was essential. A vintage brushed-glaze cabinetry finish paired with a knotty alder island in a soft stain became the perfect solution, creating a warm and timeless foundation. Every detail was selected to support her craft and celebrate her love of cooking. The result is a kitchen that feels both artful and hardworking — a true reflection of the client herself.

2011 NARI CAPITAL COTY FINALIST AWARD WINNER Project Scope-- The owners of this 1990’s colonial home were seeking to convert the existing space-constricted builder-grade kitchen into a generously-apportioned Tuscan-style country kitchen with lots of natural light, high-end appointments and a warmly textured interior design concept. Among other features they sought a mid-room island that would house critical appliances, complete the work triangle and provide dining counter space for three. They also wanted to include a professional-grade gas range. Challenges-- Situated between dining room and family room, the existing kitchen was small and poorly planned. The sink faced a blank wall and the appliances were inadequate for the owner’s gourmet cooking ambitions. To create the desired footprint, the contractor, Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes, created a plan that called for consolidating square footage in several rooms adjacent to the kitchen. This entailed removing two load bearing walls– one between the kitchen and dining room, a second separating the kitchen and family room– and shifting loads to newly installed structural supports carefully concealed within the resultant “open” floor plan. To accommodate new appliances (and work efficiencies) called for by this radically altered space plan, the design located the new professional gas range and other key features in the footprint formerly occupied by the breakfast room, a change that takes advantage of opportunities for a higher cathedral ceiling, better natural lighting and greater space. Solutions-- With this space plan resolved, the design team could now eliminate a picture window on the west elevation, designing a new elevation to accommodate a stucco cooktop flanked by a pair of custom Palladium windows. A side elevation slider was replaced with a French door. Infrastructure considerations included introducing gas lines needed for the 48” Viking cooktop range and re-routing plumbing. The 5’ x 9’ granite-surfaced custom designed island includes the primary kitchen sink, a dishwasher, microwave and dining overhang that provided seating for up to four. On another wall, the design called for installing ceiling flush “beaded” display pantries with open bookcases, and routed-in plumbing for a water fountain, a faucet and an ice-making machine. Glazed maple and cherry cabinetry increased available storage by over 50%. A recessed space was also created for a built-in vertical wine rack. Style-appropriate terra cotta tiling with mosaic bordering detailing extends into the home’s foyer. Other finishing work elements include crown molding with rounded turn posts and corbels.
