Family-Friendly Kitchen Remodel

When the family purchased this traditional home, it hadn’t been updated in a couple of decades. The kitchen and dining room were divided by a wall making both rooms small and ill functioning. TCP took the wall down and opened up the space connecting them into one large area for cooking, dining and entertaining. It now functions the way the client’s family operates – kids and pets coming in and out; cooking and eating together; and friends gathering together on weekends. The bench seating enables them to add an additional table when the group grows over holidays and for impromptu celebrations. The cooks can still be part of the fun with the open-concept kitchen. Kids can eat breakfast or study at the peninsula while the family gathers to kick off the work and school week or prepare for dinner.

Key elements of the kitchen remodel included:

  • Opening up the space to create an open-concept kitchen
  • Splurging on high-end dual-fuel range
  • Adding an element of surprise by placing seagrass wall covering on the ceiling
  • Respecting the budget by buying customized, highly-functional cabinetry from Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/b/Kitchen-Kitchen-Cabinets/N-5yc1vZas87 and adding beautiful cabinets pulls
  • Customizing the seating area with hand-built bench seating with underneath storage
