Project Overview
This project cannot be defined by simply talking about one element. Starting from the beginning of the project, we slightly altered the shape of the room to make it square, rather than having angled corners in the back wall. Also, the passthrough to the dining room was walled up to segment off the kitchen space. Moving forward, all new cabinets and marble floor tile were installed and two new windows were added over the sink to bring more natural light into the space. Finishing touches included making the island smaller and adding a full height quartz backsplash.

Our Favorite Things
We love these homeowners’ taste! Check out some of our favorite features from their kitchen remodel!
Quartz Countertops
Quartz is becoming the go to countertop for many people. On this project the homeowners chose silestone quartz for their new kitchen.
Full Quartz Backspalsh
The quartz backsplash in this kitchen matches the quartz countertops, giving this kitchen an elegant and seemless look.
A Smaller Island
Making the island smaller might seem like the opposite of a feature to some people but we think it really opens up the space. It may not seem like it at first, but adding more movement space into a kitchen will make the space more functional for day to day life.
Fold-Out Standing Mixer
While the island got smaller, it got immensely more functional. Featuring a fold-out, mounted standing mixer, this kitchen matches space saving with every ammenity you could want.
Marble Floor Tile
Often times, the floors can be underrated by viewers of a new remodel. However, we feel that the french pattern marble floor tiles in this space add a sense of grand luxury in this very cozy wooden space.

There are many factors that can lead a job to go over the initial time frame. For this job, many smaller delays and change orders added up to the overall two month delay. Some examples include: complications in moving lighting well into the job and complications in installing the downdraft for the exhaust hood.

Luckily, the answer is easy to explain. During the design process of this project, the homeowners decided to use more expensive materials in some areas. Together, the budget for cabinets and countertops went up by about $10,000. That couples with price increases for materials during the design phase and the $3,500.00 in change orders that occured.
