Renovation:

River Retreat

Kitchen with marble island, dark cabinets. Stainless steel appliances, brick backsplash. Stools at counter, pendant lights

Overview

For this full-home renovation, we reimagined the entire layout and designed a completely new blueprint designed to maximize both function and style. We relocated entire rooms, moved several walls, and transformed the space to suit the modern needs of the homeowners. The kitchen was significantly enlarged by opening up walls, a new powder room was added where the laundry once was, and we created a spacious walk-in pantry where there was none before. Every detail, from custom cabinetry to carefully planned room flows, was meticulously designed to enhance both daily living and entertaining.

Result

The home now features a redefined layout that is both functional and beautiful. The kitchen was expanded with over 50% more storage and 65% more countertop space, highlighted by durable marble-like quartz surfaces and a faux brick backsplash. A new walk-in pantry, with a sliding barn door and custom spice storage, now provides the essential storage space that was previously missing. The powder room, relocated and reimagined, is a stylish addition, while the guest bathroom offers a custom vanity and vintage-inspired tile. Custom-built bookshelves, a cozy work nook, and a luxurious walk-in closet complete the transformation, making this home both a sanctuary and an entertainer’s dream.

The project started on time and progressed per the schedule as communicated at the start of the work. The on site construction team and supervision were excellent and supportive of all of our needs. The finished design met all of our expectations. The construction manager and work team were extremely professional, performing high-quality work in a safe and timely manner.
