In May of 2021, our clients contacted our company regarding their outdated and constricted kitchen, they wanted to make better use of the space as there was a wall separating their kitchen from their confined dinette space. The clients stated they wanted more area in their kitchen so more than one person could be in it at a time and not have to fight for room, alongside that, they wanted to be able to finally host parties and family gatherings, which is something they could not do before as result of their confined space. At the beginning of the job, we found during the demolition of the old space that we found the original cast iron pipes were decomposed to the point that there were holes rotted into the sides of the pipes, allowing raw sewage to drain onto the kitchen ceiling and allowing sewer gas with insects to escape into the house as well. After dealing with that minor setback, the kitchen had the typical problems of any remodel, from outdated wiring to making the room square, it had all the symptoms of an early 1900’s Shaker Heights home. When the kitchen was completed, the homeowners were thrilled at the result of their new remodel. The homeowners decided to go with light alabaster and dark grey cabinets that had a shaker style door to keep early 1900’s look that matched the date of the home with an updated look. With optimizing the space that they now had, we incorporated a full bank of cabinets onto the east wall to create more storage space, along with building in the refrigerator and microwave to have more functionality and better use of their new space. The clients also incorporated a local piece of history into the kitchen, which were the shelves they wanted to install. The shelves were from one of the local schools that were remodeled, the wood had a natural age from all the years of being in the school and that patina was incorporated into our remodel. The shelves were sealed and brought into the design by having a “open shelf” concept, creating a functional but ornamental space in their kitchen. They also chose leather finished granite to tie in the industrial aesthetic they desired, along with the hardwood floors being tied into the rest of the house and complementing all of that with brass and black accents to further tie in their industrial theme.
After we completed the job, our clients contacted us telling us how excited they were to be in their new kitchen. They had already hosted a party and were planning on more, as they were able to move around freely and be able to serve food with ease. The most enjoyable aspect of their new kitchen that they made clear to us was the fact now they can finally cook together and be able to spend more time with each other, without having to wrestle for the oven dinette space.
