Out With The Old, In With The New

Often thought of as the heart of the home, the kitchen is more than just a place to cook; it's an inviting room where family and friends gather, stories are shared, and messes are made. From morning coffee to famous spaghetti sauce nights, the kitchen is central to daily life in every home.  It’s out with the old, in with the new, as the space is reimagined to bring together functionality and warmth.

The Before & During

Before the transformation, the kitchen could be described as a little dark and cramped, with a layout that made the home feel crowded. With this remodel, the goal was to create a modern, cozy kitchen to enhance the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the space. With that in mind, we designed a space that incorporated an open-concept design, improved lighting, and contemporary finishes, the new kitchen design aimed to be both inviting and efficient.

The After

This remodeled kitchen represents elegance and functionality with its open-concept layout, the kitchen can now house family dinner nights. Large windows and beautiful pendant lights ensure an abundance of natural light, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere. Cabinetry with a light wood finish provides storage, while high-quality marble countertops and backsplash add a touch of luxury, making this kitchen the perfect blend of embodiment and function, and the true heart of the home.
