A Spilt Decision

Our client contacted us about a redesign of the downstairs of their house focusing on the Kitchen, Family Room, Pantry, and Dining area. We contracted our preferred interior coordinator, Shae Designs, to assist in development of a cohesive plan for the integration of all these spaces.

Our plan centered on a magnificent island in blue with a large hood of the same color tying these two components of the kitchen together. Additionally, the big wow factor was going to come from a split refrigerator and freezer, instead of side by side, they would flank the ends of the primary wall. This along with a magnificent spacious cook in pantry and a full height backsplash that rolls up from the quartz counter-tops added to the overall elegance that this kitchen now possesses.

If that was not enough, we removed tile in the original pantry and added stain and finish hardwood such that now all the main floor in the house as well as the staircase to the upstairs could be refinished. The appliances we added were of the highest quality befitting the magnificent kitchen and included a 48” cooktop, oven, and industrial microwave in the Pantry and two dishwashers along with a standard sink and prep sink. Of course, a kitchen of this magnitude could not be without hidden outlets, undercabinet lighting, glass doors, custom cedar beam shelving and magnificent tile for the backsplash in the cook-in pantry. During our work, we updated the lighting on the first level of the home, added amazing pendants over the island and kitchen dining table, stylish plumbing fixtures, a custom nook on the Family Room entry, and constructed a custom plaster fireplace and floating beam over a leathered granite hearth.

Finally, we built an entertainment system with new cabinetry and custom cut, sanded, and stained floating shelving. If that was not enough, we also assisted our homeowners on multiple other projects while on site like painting much of the upstairs, adding a tankless hot water recirculating system, removal of heavy molding for more timeless options and many more items. In the end our clients project came in on schedule and was on budget much to their happiness.

The detail and quality of the work is superlative, but most of all our client love of our work can now be seen in that we have been asked to come back this winter and rework the Master Bath and the Upstairs Hall Bath as well as put in a new Front Door and Railing system to complement the work completed. Now that is customer satisfaction and we are proud of all of our teams that made this clients dream come true.
