The family bought this traditional home in 2008, and we remodeled 2 bathrooms for them, then. We talked about remodeling the kitchen in 2012, but did not begin the project until 2013. The homeowners selected white painted maple with a shaker style door, and contemporary poles. The lighting was updated to make the kitchen brighter; a microwave drawer was added, along with all new stainless steel appliances, including a hood. The countertops are Heirloom Grey quartz with a double laminated edge. The load-bearing wall was removed, and a 22-foot steel support beam and support column were installed to give an open first floor feel. The homeowners couldn't be happier.
