Cotswold Kitchen Remodel

The existing 10×13 kitchen layout was sorely outdated and too cramped for the family of 5 plus two dogs and a cat. The owners wanted to combine the kitchen and dining areas which required the removal of a load bearing wall. Addtionally, they wanted to widen the existing small window to let in more natural light as well as views of their fabulous backyard, and create a central island for gathering with family and guests.

We came up with an efficient gallery design that enhanced the overall flow, not only of the kitchen, but of the house itself. The new kitchen and breakfast nook ties together the foyer, kitchen, and den and has become the heart of the house. The new design includes 2 large pantry cabinets plus plenty of base and wall cabinets, a combination convection oven and convection microwave, 5 burner gas cooktop with vent hood, and 36″ farmhouse sink. White cabinets and quartz countertops work with the natural light to create a vibrant environment for meals and convening with friends. The owners could not be more pleased with the results!

Before. Not only was the 10×13 space planned poorly, with the cooktop jammed into the corner and an oversized peninsula countertop over floor mounted wall cabinets, but the oven was only 24″ and could not be replaced with a wider one in the current position. The wall behind the cooktop and oven cut off the dining area from the kitchen. .

After. New triple window, Kitche-Aid Convection Ovens, and wide central island with 5 burner cooktop.

After. Wall between kitchen and dining area was removed to create continuous sightlines.

After. Built-in banquette seating with 4 large storage drawers.

After. Triple double-hung windows for views as well as fresh air.

After. Two large pantry cabinets flanking the owner’s new coffee station.

Before. Old window blocked more light than it allowed!

During. Framing for the new wider windows.

During. We take care to protect the rest of the house during our work. Daily cleanups are standard!

During. We added a new wall between the banquette and foyer to create additional privacy between the front door and kitchen/dining rooms.

After. We added a new wall between the banquette and foyer.

Cotswold Bath Remodel

The bathroom was in dire need of updating. The family includes a member with limited mobility so we widened the doorway, removed a dividing wall, and created an accessible wetroom with movable spa seat and handheld sprayers. A closet with bifold doors was replaced with a full custom cabinetry set. This project gets lots of oohs and ahhs from visitors.
