Transitional Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel
Kitchen Remodel
A Kitchen That Feels Like Home: Farmhouse Reimagined
This transitional farmhouse kitchen combines rustic charm with modern sophistication. Warm wood beams and shiplap accents pair seamlessly with sleek quartz countertops and polished nickel fixtures. The centerpiece is a custom-built island with ample storage, creating a space that’s as inviting as it is functional for our client’s busy family life.
Before: Small, Cramped, and Outdated
This renovation began with a broken dishwasher—and a big realization. The new unit (visible under a striped tablecloth in the photos) wouldn’t fit into the existing space without removing either the floor or the countertops.
The kitchen, part of an old farmhouse, was small, awkwardly laid out, and lacking in functionality. The cabinetry was outdated and inefficient, and the overall space needed a major update to meet modern standards and better serve the homeowners’ needs.
Design Inspiration: Blending Old Charm with Modern Function
Our client had been dreaming of remodeling her kitchen for years. She and her family love the charm of their old farmhouse and wanted to preserve that timeless character while updating the space with modern functionality.
The design process began with a collaborative and creative approach—starting with magazine clippings the client had collected over the years. These inspirations helped guide our conversations and shape the vision for the space.
A key change in the new floor plan was opening up the layout by incorporating the eat-in dining area into the kitchen, creating one large, inviting space. The entire design centered around blending vintage charm with updated features for a space that feels both classic and current.
The new kitchen features solid wood cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, offering a sleek, modern upgrade with timeless quality. We installed new hardwood flooring and laced it into the existing planks, then refinished the entire space for a seamless, unified look.
Glass-front cabinets were thoughtfully included to showcase the client’s collection of dishes and treasured heirlooms, adding a personal and elegant touch. To open up the space, we recessed the load-bearing posts and beam into the wall and ceiling, creating a smooth, uninterrupted flow throughout the room.
The new gas range is both a functional and visual highlight of the kitchen. Above it, a bold accent tile adds a pop of personality and serves as a beautiful focal point. The powerful hood vent is fully integrated and vents to the exterior of the home, ensuring both style and performance in this hardworking space.
The classic apron front sink is both a functional choice and a thoughtful nod to the home's farmhouse roots. Its timeless design complements the updated finishes while honoring the style and era of the original kitchen.
This home features distinctive custom trim throughout, and it was important to carry that character into the kitchen. We crafted matching trim for the window to stay true to the original style. Beneath the window, a custom-built bench was designed to fit the space perfectly, incorporating fretwork details inspired by the original kitchen—blending new craftsmanship with the home’s rich history.
"The crew totally renovated a kitchen and bath in an old home. The results are gorgeous. The team was very professional, from start to finish. My expectations were exceeded."
In the pantry, our client embraced a bold design with painted cabinetry and warm butcher block countertops, creating a vibrant and functional space. An original chandelier from another part of the home was thoughtfully repurposed here, adding a touch of vintage charm and continuity. The patterned tile flooring brings personality and texture, tying the space together with a unique flair.
