HOME #9 I Burns Park Kitchen & Interior Remodel

Project Description

In this interior remodel, our clients wanted to connect the kitchen with the family room for ease of conversation across the room while entertaining, cooking, reading and spending time together. Our clients also wanted to improve the functional working area for two cooks in the kitchen. Overall, the finishes needed a refresh and our clients were ready for a completely updated look.

Our plan to connect the kitchen and family room included eliminating most of the wall between the spaces and adding a peninsula island that would serve as working space on the kitchen side, and seating on the family room side. Our design also included new lighting, new furniture, and new flooring throughout the first floor. We also remodeled the first floor powder room and second floor guest bathroom.

As a finishing phase of this project, our clients worked with our furnishings team to update the family room decor. Seating, side tables, lighting and a rug were purchased through our interior furnishing service. We also provided fabrics for custom cushions at the kitchen window seat. This was an exciting opportunity to provide a holistic final design that considered furniture.

HOME #12 I Ann Arbor Kitchen & Interior Remodel

Project Description

Our clients came to us wanting to create a kitchen that better served their day-to-day, to add a powder room so that guests were not using their primary bathroom, and to give a refresh to their primary bathroom.  They sought to make their kitchen more functional to them and utilize the space in a better way.  One feature in the kitchen that they wanted to include was bar seating for less formal dining.  Our design plan consisted of reimagining the kitchen space, adding a powder room and creating a primary bathroom that delighted our clients.

In the kitchen we created more integrated pantry space. We added a large island which allowed the homeowners to maintain seating within the kitchen and utilized the excess circulation space that was there previously. To add in the powder room we took space from a third bedroom and tied into the existing plumbing and electrical from the basement.

Lastly, we added unique square shaped skylights into the hallway. This completely brightened the hallway and changed the space.
