Our clients called us regarding a new home and land they bought in Middlefield. They fall in love with the land, but did not like the layout of the house for there family.

They wanted a modern country flare, The kitchen had to have a large walk in pantry and large island for cooking. A more flowing concept from the kitchen into the living. A master suite with a private bathroom to include: A walkin shower and bath tub for soaking. A second bathroom for guest and more living space on that end of the house.

The whole job had a time frame because the Mrs.was having their second child and wanted to deliver the baby in the house.

We started by opening up walls to create a pantry off the kitchen, we took room out of a utility room that house the hot water tank and well items. We widen both doorways into the kitchen and added faux beams out of wood to bring in the character she was looking for. This same wood and beams were used for above the stove and mantel for the fireplace.

We closed in a door way from the living room into the back area. We redesign this space to give a more functional area, Master Suite, Master bathroom, walk in closet, a 2nd bathroom and we created a new hallway off the kitchen to give a better flow. A marble walk in shower with a free standing tub was used to give and open concept in the master suite bathroom. A custom bookcase was designed to match the vanity. This also helped hide plumbing coming in from the well into the house.  

We laid all new Luxury vinyl floors, the two tone cabinets along with granite countertops and walnut island counter rounded out the country flare. We refaced the fireplace, to give a warm homely feeling in the living for gatherings. The best part of the job was, we did make the dead line and got the job done two weeks early. Not only did they move into their new home but they had there new baby in that home.

When we originally met with our clients, they contacted us just to discuss a kitchen remodel, but after viewing the layout of their original kitchen, it was time for a major upgrade. Their original kitchen was cramped and small, and with the homeowners wanting a bigger island and more space, we presented them with the idea of removing the walls that separated their dinette area, kitchen, and dining room. With the removal of the walls, they would be able to create the kitchen of their dreams and be able to host their friends and family in a space that they most desired. The homeowners wanted an industrial hood with a chef grade oven to compliment the major overhaul. After deliberation and discussing a plan with the homeowners, they decided they wanted to go all out and completely remodel their first floor, including the kitchen with the removal of the walls, the complete remodel of their half bathroom that had not been touched since the 50’s, and the complete overhaul of their living room as well.

During the remodel of their kitchen, we took down the walls originally discussed with the homeowners to create the space they desired. Alongside that, the stairwell access from the kitchen was removed to allow the cabinet space they greatly wanted. The hardwood from the dining room was carried over into the kitchen and blended with the entire house with the refinishing of the entire first floor hardwood. Then with the walls down, it allowed the 9-foot island to be created as the centerpiece of their kitchen. Then their original dinette area was turned into a bar area, along with more custom cabinets and counter space to complement the kitchen. The custom kitchen cabinets were meticulously designed to maximize efficiency in the space given, such as the pullout drawers below the cabinets, incorporating the original toe kick heater and original radiator into the cabinets. Two of the major designs that were put into the cabinets were pullout dog bowl trays for their two dogs, and a custom wine cooler that blends in with the cabinets and optimizes the space given. The custom granite countertops were finished in a leather texture, with an ogee edge, going so far as to keep the 9-foot piece for the island one piece.

When the half bathroom was originally discussed, they wanted to update the 50’s dark and outdated bathroom into a New York style marble bathroom the homeowners experienced on their trip to New York. After the demolition of the bathroom, they wanted to add the addition of an exhaust fan and to create more space to give a bigger feel to the bathroom. The problem we ran into with the exhaust fan was the heating pipes, the water pipes, and drainage pipes all ran through the ceiling, so with that, a wall mounted exhaust fan was added to optimize space and not create issues with current piping and wiring. To give the homeowners the New York styling they desired, Carrera black marble hand laid in a herringbone pattern was used on the floor of the bathroom, and then Carrera white marble tile, custom curbing, and chair rail molding with a black Carrera accent molding was hand laid on the walls to recreate the stunning bathroom they desired. To create even more space, the addition of the European wall mounted radiator cleared up a plentiful amount of room and complemented the marble in the bathroom.

The living room and foyer room were completely refinished with the hardwood being fixed and finished to the warm dark tone that they wanted. Then the addition of custom arches was designed to enhance the living room entrances and match the current style of molding in the house. The moldings were custom made to match the existing window moldings that were put in the home in the 1930s. The refinishing of all the walls and existing moldings transformed the rest of the first floor to tie in the beautiful new kitchen and bathroom to the rest of the first floor.

Overall, the kitchen exceeded the homeowners’ expectations, becoming a center point of the house and the bathroom is now a functional space that is more welcoming, now they have a hard time using it due to their amazement at the accuracy of the bathroom they wanted to replicate. The attention to detail spent on the entire first floor exceeded their expectations and transformed their entire first floor into the family space they desired, including the dogs which immediately loved their custom dog bowls.

The post Glamour Kitchen Shaker Hts appeared first on Dream Home Construction.

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. 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.
