The homeowners lived with this kitchen for 18 years. But after a recent remodel by Haver Design & Construction, Inc., they are wondering why they didn’t do this remodel sooner. That’s what we hear from almost everyone after a remodel.
Cabinets that hang from the ceiling make a visual barrier and darken a kitchen. By enlarging the dining room opening and relocating a powder room, the space is more functional, more appealing, and more conducive to larger gatherings.

Notice the soffits were removed so that the cabinets could be taller and thus, hold more items. The vinyl flooring was replaced with red oak, the laminate countertop was replaced with granite. The sink is now centered on the window. The refrigerator joins the rest of the kitchen to make an efficient work triangle. The dishwasher is not front and center, but is in the penisula. Where there was only one overhead light before, there now is undercabinet lighting, recessed can lights and pendant task lighting.
The dinette area was replaced with two tall cabinets and a desk where the homeowner can peruse the internet or look through cookbooks to plan dinner. Perhaps the cook’s skills will improve now that the kitchen is improved.

Premiere Home Stagers consulted on finishes and colors of this remodel. We advised on plumbing selections, lighting, tile selections, and flooring. We’d love to do the same with your remodeling project.
