This space was completely transformed from a U shaped 90s kitchen to an open concept & entertainer's dream. These empty nesters love to cook and have visions of grandkids lining up for lunch at the wood bartop. We worked to create great large workspaces while also directing the flow of traffic out of the major workspaces. The overall goals for the aesthetics were to keep it light and bright, anchoring it with the dark island.

We designed this custom mudroom so it’s easily accessible for every family member. We used deeper panels in the coat sections to tuck away hangers, giving a more streamlined look in this high traffic area. Extra shoe shelving, baskets and bin clips give frequently used items a clear, designated home.

The old fireplace was rebuilt using only the original firebox. The original heavy drapes were replaced with light sheers to give the room a light airy feel. The new hardwood Brazilian pecan floors throughout have area rugs in high traffic areas.

The remodel took traffic flow and appliance placement into consideration. The refrigerator was relocated to an area closer to the sink and out of the flow of traffic. Recessed lighting and under-cabinet lighting now flood the kitchen with warm light. The closet pantry and a half wall between the family room and kitchen were removed and a peninsular with seating area was added to provide a large work surface, storage on both sides and shelving with baskets to store homework, craft items and books. Opening this area up provided a welcoming spot for friends and family to gather when entertaining. The microwave was placed at a height that was safe and convenient for the whole family. Cabinets taken to the ceiling, large drawers, pantry roll-outs and a corner lazy susan have helped make this kitchen a pleasure to gather as a family.

A metal arch can serve as an accent piece in an updated front yard or a Native garden. Like a traditional arbor, a modern arch can blend in with the landscape when vines wrap around it or separate different garden areas and direct traffic. The minimalist design makes this piece a perfect partner for modern pavers. An arbor can be attached to a fence, or structure, or be freestanding.

GROUND VIEW SHOWS OFF THE BEAUTIFUL WOOD PLANK FLOORING.....ALSO NOTE HOW "BACKLESS" STOOL LEAVES ROOM FOR TRAFFIC BETWEEN THE ISLAND AND PENINSULA.....ALSO ANGLED BASE CABINET ON END OF PENINSULA IMPROVES TRAFFIC FLOW.

This very small backyard required a shady seating area and a dog friendly "lawn replacement" while being low maintenance. This was achieved by a wood shade pergola, terrazzo stone tile patio, stepping stones and Kurapia ground cover. The Kurapia can sustain foot traffic and dog waste without burning. It is watered very infrequently.
