A Kitchen Facelift that Looks Like a Brand New Kitchen

One of our latest projects was a kitchen/family room facelift that with a few changes, made the whole project look like a completely brand new space.
 

BEFORE:  As you can see, the sliding door opened right up into the fireplace area.  We replaced that door with a double-hung window and put a door going out to the deck and gazebo in the center of the bay window instead.  The tile floors were replaced with hardwood flooring and the kitchen peninsula was removed to create a more open traffic pattern.

AFTER:  A new, beautiful island was installed with pendant lighting above it, opening up the flow of the room.  Notice the new window by the fireplace, creating a space that the homeowner can now create a cozy, comfortable seating area in.

BEFORE

AFTER:  New countertops and a newer model ceiling fan along with pendant lights above the island complete the look of this kitchen, making it look completely brand new.  The existing cabinets are over 10 years old and you would NEVER know it.  Notice how lovely the new flooring looks too.

AFTER:  Notice the correct distance between the island and the the wall cabinetry.  Using a contractor who is aware of proper clearances and keeping the working triangle intact is imperative when doing a kitchen remodel!  Also notice how well the new island cabinetry blends with the existing cabinetry.  You would never know there is a more than 10 year difference in the age of the cabinets.  A testimony to using cabinetry from a reputable manufacturer and dealer.
