This multi-space renovation included updates to the kitchen and wet bar, as well as the laundry room. To showcase all the unique details of this project, we will break down our remodeling process and design decisions by space. 

In the kitchen, we worked within the existing floor plan but removed the wall between the kitchen and eat-in kitchen to create a large opening. We creatively hid a large brick wall behind cabinetry, and still accommodated a full pantry and hidden microwave and appliance storage. 

We incorporated a giant island that is large enough to seat six people at the end, aligning with the homeowner’s goal to host more often. While the countertops were mostly quartzite, we selected a wooden butcher block to create the feel of a dining table. We installed a composite granite prep sink (as opposed to stainless steel) to blend in with the countertop and provide durability. 

A textured subway tile backsplash offers movement through its tone on tone effect. We opted for unlacquered brass hardware that will patina over time. Finally, our designers strategically placed the pendant lights so that two highlight the cooking prep space, while the third acts as a decorative light fixture over the dining table. 

The homeowner’s love of green served as the inspiration for the color-drenched wet bar. We painted the ceiling and the walls in a deep mushroom shade. The Negresco honed granite countertops provide an affordable option in the small space.

We carried the unlacquered brass details into this space, creating a seamless transition from the kitchen to the bar area. Our master craftsman Don designed the custom walnut-stained floating shelves, which allowed the homeowner to style her decor beautifully. 

For the laundry room renovation, we added an exterior door in order to allow convenient entry from the pool area. With the goal of making the space more functional, we installed cream cabinetry and countertops that extend beyond the washer and dryer – this maximizes both storage and folding space in a small area. 

The large sink allows for hand washing clothes, and the rod above it allows for air drying garments. Above this, we installed open shelving for the homeowner to display her colorful village collection. Finally, the walls painted bright green embrace the homeowner’s love of the color.

This multi-faceted project showcases a balance between the homeowner’s personal style and the functional, beautiful details our team was able to incorporate as we executed her vision for each space.
