Sometimes a renovation project doesn't necessarily require taking down walls and expanding into new spaces. Sometimes it means taking what is existing and giving it a new 'facelift'.

This home's character was evident in every space! The kitchen only needed a few adjustments to make it more inviting and open for entertaining and family get togethers.

Before: The hood blocked the natural light coming in from the picture windows on either side. The hood stretched from the countertop to the ceiling, making the cooktop space fully enclosed.

Now: A new floating hood design allows the natural light from either side to filter through the space. The entire wall was fit for marble subway tile and the new hood was painted white with a small accent to tie in with the island.

The existing perimeter countertops remained, but only to make way for a beautiful island countertop and create the perfect contrast between the perimeter cabinets and island.

The island countertop continues over here to the wet bar; the backsplash features a marble mosaic. The hammered wet bar sink adds even more texture. Cabinets are painted SW Black Fox. — The island countertop continues over here to the wet bar; the backsplash features a marble mosaic. The hammered wet bar sink adds even more texture.

In addition to a kitchen renovation, no project is complete without a new perfect laundry/mudroom space. This laundry room is complete with new custom cabinets and colors that just might make laundry a fun part of the day!

A reason for custom cabinetry design is so that every nook and cranny can make way for every storage need. If you take a close look, the dog bowl pull-out creates the perfect space for the pup's dinner, however there's no mess or tripping over dog bowls during the day when guests are over!

The cabinet paint is SW Halcyon Green. The cabinet knobs are from Emtek in a brass finish.

The apron front sink adds character and a large cleaning basin for the laundry room. The countertops are butcher block.

The countertops are butcher block. Instead of a marble pencil or bullnose at the top of the marble backsplash, remnants of the butcher block were added above the mosaic tile for a clean and well paired look.
