KITCHEN REMODEL OVERVIEW

KITCHEN DESIGN OBJECTIVES
OPEN CONCEPT
Removing a wall between the existing kitchen and dining room helped to create an open floor plan for entertaining
BETTER FLOW
We needed to change the existing work triangle, as the existing triangle created a lot of traffic jams and was not conducive for a large family that likes to cook
UPDATE THE STYLING
The old kitchen was a bit dark and dated, which is why we opted for white cabinets. A dark stained island and dark wood floors added contrast, while a white marble quartz paired with a soft taupe backsplash kept the overall space feeling fresh and classic.
BEFORE THE KITCHEN REMODEL

The existing kitchen is tight and compartmentalized with a fair amount of wasted space. Overall it is functional, but not conducive for this family who loves to host big gatherings. While there is plenty of light, the kitchen still feels rather dark, and certainly doesn’t represent our clients taste.
Black elements throughout added some pop, while a muted taupe backsplash set in a herringbone pattern added slight color and a subtle edgy vibe.
KITCHEN DESIGN CONCEPT


DURING THE KITCHEN REMODEL

By simply removing a couple of walls and doorways, we were able to completely open up this Glenview kitchen to the rest of the home. At this point, the walls have been opened and the kitchen is already starting to take shape.
We’ve reworked our can lighting to better illuminate our new layout and relocated our plumbing and gas lines. The side window was removed to allow for the built in refrigerator/freezer columns, and all interior drywall and exterior siding work has been completed.
Flooring, cabinets, countertops and backsplash have also been installed. We’re onto the final details that will really complete this beautiful remodel!
