The space also features MSI W Calacatta Safyra countertops, along with a Frigidaire canopy hood and microwave. The client shared, “Gutting our old kitchen to reconfigure the space for better flow, workspace, and storage was a challenge. Emma listened to my needs and offered helpful tips and options, which made the process work. The layout followed the workflow, and my habits and style guided the final details. Reico gave me the options and confidence to trust the process, and the outcome is seamless and beautiful.” Emma explained, “This kitchen is one of my favorites. The homeowners wanted to replace the peninsula with a custom painted island in Sherwin-Williams Mount Etna, which paired well with the Cottage perimeter cabinets, Calacatta Safyra countertops, sea glass backsplash, and honey bronze hardware. It was a pleasure working with both the homeowners and the contractors throughout the remodel.” Photos courtesy of Regarday, LLC.

The chance to build a lakeside weekend home in rural NC provided this Chapel Hill family with an opportunity to ditch convention and think outside the box. For instance, we traded the traditional boat dock with what's become known as the "party dock"… a floating lounge of sorts, complete with wet bar, TV, swimmer's platform, and plenty of spots for watching the water fun. Inside, we turned one bedroom into a gym with climbing wall - and dropped the idea of a dining room, in favor of a deep upholstered niche and shuffleboard table. Outdoor drapery helped blur the lines between indoor spaces and exterior porches filled with upholstery, swings, and places for lazy napping. And after the sun goes down....smores, anyone?

While Teresa did countless hours of research on design Web sites such as Pinterest, she also wanted to get the kitchen done quickly. That meant taking some risks, she says. “I wanted to renovate the kitchen immediately after moving into the new house. This required me to take measurements, pictures and video all in one visit. So, my measurements were a little off,” she explains. Luckily IKD’s design team provided her with a detailed inventory list [as part of its design process and helped out with specific custom looks, she notes. “With IKD’s design guidance I actually over ordered versus under ordered and simply had to return a few cabinets and pieces [rather than make a return trip to IKEA],” she concludes. With her project now complete, Teresa says she is ready to move onto greener pastures. But first, there are some specific tips she wanted to share for any future IKEA kitchen remodeler. “I would say to do your research, and remember that no detail is too small. Also, be sure to visit an IKEA no matter where you live at least once to be able to see the kitchens in person. And, definitely use IKD but be sure to have a clear kitchen idea to convey!” she says. With that said, Teresa was able to complete her IKEA kitchen in a timely manner and in a budget friendly way as well. “I would say our budget was mid-level [for this project]. Since we did most of the work ourselves we saved a ton of money. We really have a glowing pride in accomplishing this project and it turned out to be not as difficult as we thought!” she concludes.
