Kitchen Remodel with Southern Charm

This fantastic kitchen completed a traditional home makeover started a couple years earlier.

The homeowners’ collections of family treasures were overwhelming, so they called me to get them started. First, we cleared out and updated all the rooms except the kitchen. We carefully selected each item to keep and display. Soon the home was telling a wonderful story of their lives.

Later, when they were ready to tackle the kitchen, they called me too. We created a larger opening into the kitchen. We opened the sink wall to create a bar in the sunroom. We gained space on the refrigerator wall by eliminating the pantry. Now more efficient cabinetry creates one long beautiful wall of easy to reach storage. The dark wood island and range hood repeat the color of many furniture pieces throughout the home. The natural stone quartzite countertops and backsplash are showstoppers!

I really love everything and so do the homeowners. What do you think?
