Before: Our Client had a beautiful, but dated, home next to the
ocean. The kitchen was behind a
wet bar and open only to a small unused room on the backside of the
fireplace. Carpets, tile, lighting
and kitchen were in need of updating.
|

|
| Before: Broken up floor plan, small kitchen, dated look |
|
|
After: By opening up the wall between the dining room and the
kitchen, the Client can now enjoy this fabulous new Great Room, which allows for
conversation and entertaining between living room, dining room and
kitchen. The kitchen was
remodeled, the dated tiles replaced with a beachy looking tumbled stone, and
flooring was replaced with a durable hardwood.
|

|
|

|

After:
Even from the far side of the couch, you are still able to see into the
kitchen, making this a much better environment for entertaining.
|
|
Goal:
Client wanted a roomier, brighter kitchen that opened to adjoining dining area.
|

|

place for our Client to enjoy meals and to entertain.

| Before: Not a good viewing spot for the TV |
|
Goal:
As the Client is a big sports fan we were asked to incorporate a large plasma television that can be viewed by anyone
in the kitchen and dining room.
|
|

|
| After: Plasma on hidden tilt braket allows viewing from all areas of kitchen and dining room |
|
Result:
A 27" plasma TV was installed flush among the kitchen cabinets. It is attached to a pull out tilting bracket so that
it can be viewed directly from any area of the kitchen and dining room.
|
|
Goal:
The Client wanted to let go of this dated L-Shaped kitchen. Adding storage and bettering the flow of this kitchen were
desired. The Client was ready to part with the bamboo décor and moon light, for a more updated modern and sophisticated look.
|
|
|
| Before: Boring kitchen with limited storage. |
|
|
Result:
By integrating the small area off the kitchen this new galley shaped kitchen accommodates all of the Clients desires including:
a wine cooler, a 42" Sub-Zero refrigerator, a beverage refrigerator, a built in steamer, two sinks, a recycling center, a
27" plasma TV, and plenty of additional storage and counter space.
Recessed lighting replaced the moon light for a modern bright feel.

|
Result:
The kitchen was extended all the way to the back French doors to increase space. The old French doors were replaced with
new energy efficient doors with sidelights and internal blinds to bring in more light. A large new island preparation area
with sink and recycling center was added to allow the cook to easily communicate with guests.
|
|
Goal: Change this boring tile
fireplace into something that fits
with the beach environment outside the nearby window.
|

|
| Before: Boring, boring, boring |
|
|
Result: Tumbled stones surrounding
the fireplace not only remind you
of the beach outside, they also match the backsplash in the kitchen. The new mantel
gives a fresh clean look
to this existing fireplace.

| After: Beautiful tumbled stones look like they have been there forever |
|
|

|
| Before: Eating area off kitchen |
|
The Goal:
Client wanted a new breakfast area which would take advantage of the beautiful mountian view out the window. Current seating
area around table (not shown) allowed only one person at a time to enjoy this view. Client had limited storage in existing
kitchen, and was looking to add storage space. Client also wanted an updated modern look that would gracefully transition
into the rest of the home.
