Essex Kitchen and Whole Home Renovation

a Space for Guests that you can be proud of

The Problem:

Our clients were dealing with a chilly three-season space abutting their kitchen. They wanted to increase the functionality and extend their kitchen for hosting large gatherings. They also had a 1,200-square-foot guest wing of their home that wasn’t functioning well for family and guests staying with them.

The Solution:

Working closely with our clients, we identified their pain points and developed a scope of work that aligned with their vision and budget for the project. The guest wing renovation focused heavily on relocating all the walls on the interior of the space to allow optimal flow and functionality for their guests.

We optimized space for three luxurious bathrooms, two large bedrooms, and a dedicated laundry space, including custom cabinetry with adequate storage and working area. This was achieved with multiple structural changes and total re-plumbing and rewiring of the home.

In the kitchen extension, we raised the ceiling, insulated the concrete slab, and centered the space around a custom island with large granite countertop overhangs on three sides to make entertaining a breeze. To take full advantage of the water views and optimize natural light, we replaced a small french door and small windows with a large three-panel Marvin slider.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the mudroom area featured a custom bench and fully functional walk-in pantry.

A Killingworth kitchen remodel for a growing family

After working in a subpar kitchen for years and with baby #2 on the way, this young family decided it was time to get serious about their renovation.

Style: Transitional

The Process

A firefighter of over ten years and an at home chef, our client was desperate for a space that functioned to his culinary needs. With another baby on the way, it was now or never. After working through how this family needed the kitchen to function for them, a beautiful 36” range, double oven, and adequate countertop space was exactly what was needed.

WOOD & WHITE

Our homeowners wanted a classic, but modern kitchen that had warm toned wood, clean white lines, and a splash of gold. We had to remove the pantry and our solution for creating storage was a custom walnut cabinet that looked like a furniture piece.

MORE SPACE FOR GATHERING

The homeowners wanted more room to work and spend time in their kitchen. The original layout left little prep-space and no where for friends or family to gather while together. Our design team captured space from the pantry (replacing it with cabinetry), expanded the island to include seating, and widened the walkways all the way around kitchen.

A REFRESHED LAYOUT

The homeowners wanted to change the layout of the original dark and dated kitchen. By taking everything down to studs we were able to give them better lighting, light cabinets, a better kitchen “triangle” and a stylish and beautiful heart of their home.

CRAMPED KITCHEN NO MORE

The original downstairs floorplan included a 6 foot wide pantry, two coat closets, and a dedicated dining room off the kitchen. The reimagined layout shifted and reduced the size of the pantry and removed the two coat closets, closed up the opening to the dinning room, added a big island with seating and a dedicated drop zone. The dining room became an office with built-in shelving and an Ash block work surface.

CHEFS KITCHEN FULL OF DETAIL

The homeowner wanted to expand the cabinet layout in the kitchen, add unique details and give it a European style flare. With help from The Kitchen Specialist cabinets and an apron front porcelain sink were added along the back wall of the kitchen, where before was only a long bank of windows. An accent brick wall was created behind the banquette and a beautiful Lacanche range was added to transform this chef’s inspired kitchen.

Vibrant Whole Home Renovation

BEFORE AND AFTER

Vibrant Kitchen + Modern Home Remodel

This house was the definition of a fixer upper. Carpet in the bathroom, dark wood paneling in the living and dining rooms, and a kitchen that was made for one. Together with the homeowners we designed a beautiful, vibrant space for their young family to come home too.

Style: Modern

The Process

In between the living room and the dinning room was a two-sided stone fireplace that was way outdated. The homeowners choose to keep it, but turned it into a single sided wood burning fireplace to keep the living room cozy.

The kitchen was taken down to it’s studs and reconfigured for creating an open concept layout. A large island was added and countertop to ceiling yellow tiles were added for a big punch of color.

The bathrooms were renovated with tile floors, floating vanities, and a more natural color palette.
