The kitchen at this fifteen year old home was not in poor shape but the builder installed cabinets were starting to show wear and the work triangle was not conducive to a multi-cook event. The area also was not as entertainment-friendly and the current island was not where our customers wanted their guests milling around.

After several options for new layouts were presented, our customers agreed on one that eliminated the desk area and the walk-in pantry, leaving new space for a way-cool bar and a wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinets.

To create a more intimate space, we also dropped the vaulted ceiling over the eliminated breakfast table area as it was now part of the combined work-at and eat-at island space. New recessed lighting, new hanging fixtures over the island, under-counter lighting, and display cabinet lighting all added its own contribution to the drama and functionality of this great new space. Rounding out the new space was a glass tile backsplash, a new, bold color palate, and new cork flooring.

The kitchen now provides our customer with a totally new and contemporary look, a super venue for entertaining, and exceptional functionality for their family of chefs.

Our new kitchen is just incredible. Our friends that see it, particularly those who had seen the original kitchen, just walk in and say, "Wow!" We just cannot tell you how much we appreciated your guidance and attention to every little detail. The quality of workmanship is just outstanding.

Our customers wanted to enlarge their kitchen and install new, state-of-the-art appliances for the chef in the family. They also wanted to create a new master suite on the rear of the house and wanted to take advantage of the potential views as their home sits on a bluff 150 feet above the Rappahannock River.

After discussions about various options, we embarked on completing a plan that included a sunroom and new, enlarged kitchen on the lower level and a new master suite on the second level. Above the second level rooms we created a wonderful covered porch and sundeck area to complete the new addition.

What a great job you did with our addition! As you know, we needed the extra space and wanted to open up the back of the house. Everything we dreamed for came true. The craftsmanship is superb, the views are great, and you were a pleasure to work with throughout the project.

Our customers wanted to remodel and update their kitchen but wanted to keep their current appliances and most of their cabinetry. They also wanted an island, a large wall, powered and cabled, to mount a nice size flat screen television, and a roomy home computer work space.

After we agreed on a new layout, we fabricated a few new cabinets to match their current cabinetry, removed and moved existing cabinets, eliminated the pantry closet, painted all the cabinets to match, added new solid-surface tops with integral sink bowls, replaced track lighting with recessed lights and drop pendent lights, installed new oak wood flooring, and painted the room using a totally new color palette.

The results represent a totally new look and layout along with important new touches that kept the project within the customers' budget and time constraints. The remodel was a total transformation and offered a new, updated, and modern decor.

What a difference! Our kitchen was ready for an update and is it ever updated. We never imagined we be able to get such a great new look and totally functional layout for the price. We love it so much, we spend all our time here! Me on the internet and Cathy watching the flat screen TV - it's perfect for relaxing and enjoying ourselves. Our friends and neighbors are still talking about what a great room it is!
