At Millwood Remodeling & Design, we believe that a home should be a reflection of its owner’s personality and lifestyle. Our recent kitchen remodel project showcases our commitment to quality, attention to detail, and expertise in transforming outdated spaces into beautiful, functional areas that truly meet the needs of modern families.
The Challenge of Opening A Cramped Kitchen
Our clients approached us with a common problem faced by many homeowners: a dated kitchen that no longer met their needs. The original kitchen, built in the 1990s, was cramped, dark, and closed off from the rest of the house. The layout was inefficient, with limited counter space, and the overall aesthetic felt tired and uninspired.
The biggest challenge was the kitchen’s confinement. Walls that once defined the kitchen space also limited its potential, making it feel isolated from the adjoining living areas. Our clients wanted a more open, inviting kitchen that could serve as the heart of their home, where family and friends could gather comfortably.
Open, Elegant, and Functional Kitchen Design
After thorough discussions with our clients, we developed a design plan that would completely transform their kitchen. The vision was to create an open-concept space that seamlessly connected the kitchen to the surrounding areas, while also providing ample room for cooking, dining, and socializing.
To achieve this, we knew we needed to remove several wall structures, which would not only open up the space but also allow for a reimagined layout. The kitchen island, which previously felt more like an obstacle than a feature, was to be rotated and repositioned to create a larger, more functional eating area. This would give the kitchen a natural flow, perfect for the family’s lifestyle.
From Demolition to Dream Kitchen
Our team began by carefully demolishing the existing kitchen, taking special care to remove the walls that closed off the space. This was a critical step, as it allowed us to see the kitchen’s full potential and set the stage for the transformation to come.
Next, we focused on the heart of the kitchen: the cabinetry and countertops. We selected gorgeous White Shaker cabinets, known for their clean lines and timeless appeal. These cabinets not only brightened the space but also added a touch of sophistication. For the countertops, our clients chose custom 3cm quartz in the luxurious Calcatta Mysterio color, which provided a sleek, high-end feel.
The kitchen island, now rotated to create a more open layout, became a centerpiece. It featured a state-of-the-art glass cooktop with a unique ancillary pop-up vent hood. This innovative vent hood slides flush into the countertop when not in use, preserving the kitchen’s clean lines and maximizing counter space.
To add texture and visual interest, we installed a stunning Herringbone style marble backsplash. The intricate pattern of the backsplash complemented the simplicity of the White Shaker cabinets and added a layer of depth to the overall design.
The flooring was another crucial element of this remodel. We installed engineered hardwoods in both the kitchen and the adjoining nook/den area, creating an integrated look that tied the spaces together beautifully. The warmth of the hardwood floors balanced the sleek, modern design of the kitchen, resulting in a space that feels both contemporary and welcoming.
The Outcome is A Stunning, Functional Space
The finished kitchen exceeded our clients’ expectations. The open layout has transformed the space into a true gathering place, perfect for family meals and entertaining guests. The combination of high-end materials, thoughtful design, and expert craftsmanship has given the kitchen a luxurious yet inviting atmosphere.
Our clients were particularly pleased with the kitchen island’s new position and functionality. The spacious eating area now accommodates their family comfortably, while the advanced features of the cooktop and vent hood have made cooking a joy.
The integrated hardwood flooring seamlessly connects the kitchen to the surrounding areas, enhancing the home’s overall flow and making the space feel larger and more cohesive. The Herringbone marble backsplash has become a conversation piece, admired by everyone who visits.
