90’s Kitchen Renovation

We recently had the privilege of renovating a home we originally built in the 90s to update the look and function of the kitchen for new homeowners. Our custom shop crafted the original kitchen when we built the home and while it was still in great shape, styles and kitchen work flow design has changed over the last thirty years. Our custom shop went to work crafting the custom-built, quarter-sawn oak cabinets in a slim shaker style. Countertops on the perimeter were replaced with a mixture of quartz and granite and the backsplash was updated with Blue Fantasy polished marble. The island now showcases a stunning walnut countertop and the tile floors were replaced with Mediterranea tile in a herringbone pattern. The location of the kitchen appliances were rearranged and some were replaced with new technology while others were able to be reinstalled. The overall look, feel and function were brought beautifully into a new century and we couldn’t be more pleased with the end result.

Urban Oasis: out with the 90’s, in with the 21st century

We recently posted the finished photos of our Urban Oasis project.  The creative brilliance of this project highlights the exciting idea that not every home needs to be structurally rearranged to gain the cosmetic and practical beauty of a thematic update.  With flooring choices, ceiling enhancements, thoughtful lighting and color selections, select cabinetry upgrades with custom cabinetry, fresh feature accents (ie: fireplace areas), and even new furniture, it’s exciting to creatively bring a classic home into the 21st century.  Such was the case in the kitchen, dining, formal living, family room, recreation rooms, and bedrooms of this home.  To truly appreciate the “afters” of this renovation, take a look at how far it has come from the “befores.”  [ commence temporary descent of jaw altitude ]
