From Outdated to Updated - An Amazing Kitchen Transformation

I was recently involved in helping to design a

kitchen remodel 

& I'm excited to share the amazing transformation with you.

A lot of the houses

in my area were built in the 1970's & 

are really heavy on oak cabinetry.

When Mike & Becky called me,

their kitchen looked like this . . .

{NOTE: Luckily, they have a kitchen in their basement & they were able to live downstairs during the remodel.

This is the ONLY way I can recommend living in your while re-doing your kitchen!}

Mike & Becky had a good idea of what they wanted,

& made a lot of good design choices on their own.

I helped with colors, some layout, finishes, etc.

I'm super pleased with the outcome & so are they.

BRACE YOURSELF!

You're not going to believe this is the same room . . .

The whole room was gutted & not one thing was re-used.

As you can see, the bulkhead was removed, ceiling raised, recessed & pendant lighting installed, bar removed &

 island installed, beautiful new cabinetry installed, 

subway tile backsplash added, granite countertops installed, hardwood floors added, & high-end appliances installed. 

By the way, you may notice all the stainless steel in the photos
below. I asked Becky how it was going keeping her appliances free of fingerprints. She said it was not much of a problem thanks to her secret weapon {you're not going to believe this} 
Pledge furniture polish!

I love the bright airy feel of simple elegance in the new design.

There are some well-thought-out features 

that don't show in the photos too - 

such as touch faucets & a wonderful sound system

in the ceiling for listening to media.

The bow-front design on the range hood {above}

is also copied in other features such as the main sink.

These homeowners plan to keep their house for a very long time.

{Which I recommend if you are going to do a high-end remodel like this. Kitchens are a great place to put $ for 

resale, but use a tighter budget if you are planning on putting the home on the market right away.}

And they are enjoying their dream kitchen.

Thank you, Mike & Becky, 

for allowing me to be a part of it!
