Kitchen and Bathroom Transformation
The heart of the remodel was the kitchen and the sole bathroom, which previously served as a shared space with doors between the kitchen and the master bedroom:
- Kitchen Overhaul: The outdated kitchen was completely removed to make way for a contemporary design.
- Bathroom Conversion: The existing full bath was converted into a 3/4-bath, featuring a stand-up shower instead of the old bathtub and shower combo.
Space Reconfiguration
To achieve the desired layout, strategic structural changes were made:
- Expanded Footprint: The full bath's footprint was expanded into the kitchen area, then divided to create two distinct spaces.
- New ¾ Bathroom: This new space was outfitted with matching cabinets to the kitchen, a fresh countertop, and dark hardwood-look flooring that extended throughout the kitchen and pantry.
Cohesive Design Elements
The remodel was characterized by a seamless design that flowed from one area to the next:
- Cabinetry and Countertops: Both the new ¾ bathroom and the kitchen featured cabinets in a harmonious style, with countertops that complemented each other.
- Flooring and Paint: The dark hardwood-look flooring and new paint color were consistent throughout the kitchen, pantry, and bathroom, creating a unified look.
Master Ensuite Creation
A portion of the remodel was dedicated to crafting a true master ensuite for the homeowners:
- Full-Bath Addition: By utilizing space from the large master bedroom, a full-bath complete with matching kitchen cabinets, granite countertop, and tile flooring was created.
- Design Continuity: The new bathroom maintained the design language of the kitchen, with similar lighting, paint, and trim work.
Kitchen Finishing Touches
The kitchen itself received a stunning makeover:
- Two-Tone Wood Cabinets: The cabinets were chosen for their visual impact and functionality.
- New Sink and Faucet: Modern fixtures were installed to enhance usability.
- Open Entryway: The entry from the kitchen to the family room was widened, fostering a more open and welcoming environment.
