The client asked me to redesign and remodel the kitchen/breakfast room/ family room, remove the wall between the kitchen and the family room to create one room, create a mud room out of the room adjacent to the kitchen that was the entrance to the house from the garage and the backyard, furnish the entire kitchen and family room, fix the master bathroom shower and change the daughter's bathroom shower to a tub. We gutted the entire kitchen, removed and replaced all the cabinets including the large out of style peninsula. We removed a kitchen window which impeded our symmetrical kitchen cabinet design layout to be able to install a large Blue Star cooktop/range in the center of the kitchen which became the kitchen focal point. We added a large 5' deep by 9' wide island incorporating a sink, dishwasher, trash/recycling bins, spice rack, tray slot and lots of storage under the countertop overhang which we painted dark blue, and built white symmetrical cabinets around the cooktop which included a sub zero fridge on one end and a glass china cabinet on the other. We replaced the Saltillo tile floors with wood floors that matched the wood in the rest of the house, which were all sanded and stained a natural color to lighten up the entire space and removed the wall between the kitchen and the family room which required an 18' beam, to open the space so it could entertain 100 people. Isn't it lovely.
