Grasmere Kitchen and Family Room Remodel
This dark and dated 1980’s kitchen and family room area was completely transformed into a large open space. The homeowners had a lot of great ideas and we worked together as a team to completely reimagine the entire layout. Previously closed off, the kitchen is now open to the family room making it a great space for family and entertaining A massive engineered beam was installed between the kitchen and family room allowing the wall separating the kitchen and family room to be removed and allowing more natural light into the space. The laundry room located off the kitchen was relocated so that area can function as a smaller kitchen that houses a second dishwasher, small appliances, a walk-in pantry and tons of storage. We also added an exterior door so the homeowners could have easy access to their herb garden. Twin doors to this small kitchen allow this area to be easily closed off if needed. Dated built-ins were removed on either side of the fireplace and the walls were framed out on either side to bring the walls forward and to allow that cabinet space to be used in the newly relocated laundry room. Venetian plaster was used to finish the fireplace giving it a clean modern look. Wide 5 inch plank white oak floors were installed throughout which help tremendously with lightening up the entire area. The bar was updated to match the kitchen and the stained shiplap wall adds warmth and interest behind the new white cabinets. Mixing metals with brass hardware and light fixtures and beautifully stainless appliances creates a timeless look.
