Remodeled Homes Tour 2021 Matterport spaces in 3D:    (before) | (framing) | (after)

This project began as a kitchen remodel.  As the plan evolved, the heart of the home ultimately encompassed the panty, butler’s pantry, nook, living room and mud room.  The original kitchen was not functional for the lifestyle of the new homeowners.  One of the challenges were replacing and leveling the wavy, moist floor.

All within eye shot- butler’s pantry, mud room, family room and nook, all connecting and symmetrical with elegance and additional storage throughout.  The peninsula was removed and replaced with an island for  better circulation.  Custom cabinets were fitted in place before being filled, sanded and painted with a conversion varnish.

During the design process a sculpture was made of the pendant lights to demonstrate size and best locations for new glass illumination above the island.  Lighting positions were adjusted to accommodate the cabinetry and task areas.  The kitchen nook that had previously featured a dining table under chandelier was re-designed to be a conversational lounging area.

Overbearing with oak, the butler’s pantry now a team member,  saturated with color, light and accents to complement the kitchen.  The home’s only laundry facility seemed like an architect’s afterthought. Realizing there was not a good location to wash 3 beautiful dogs, a mud room renovation was realized.

By expanding 5 feet into the garage, the space seemingly doubled, allowing for improved storage and functionality, including a dog washing station lined with subway tile and a custom sized shower door.  Elegant pebble shower floor with easy to reach, adjustable hand-held shower head for versatility of use and ease of dog washing.  Hooks allow for leashes, collars and towels at arms length.

The previous owners had replaced carpet with mismatched flooring beneath a dominating, brick fireplace.  Covering the brick with a natural ledgestone, changing the wainscot, painting existing cabinets and recessing a TV into the back of the chimney allowed this room to be lighter and more inviting. New charcoal gray tile was installed throughout the space.
