Kitchen , mudroom & family room renovation
The size of the house and the St . Matthews neighborhood were perfect for this active family . But , the awkward floorplan wasn ’ t working for their lifestyle .
Brandon Bailey called on the expertise of architect Gant Jones to help address the issue of functionality . Meticulous planning was essential to the successful remodel .
They were confronted by a family room that was too small and was separated from the kitchen by a laundry room . Switching the former family room space to a dining room was relatively simple , requiring little more than adding a chair rail and painting the space a rich , dark blue . The portion of the family room that was devoted to an entertainment center was reconformed into a multipurpose room with a herringbone brick floor . Opening from the garage , the room houses locker storage , a washer , dryer and sink .
The homeowner credits Katharine Hatcher of
Southern Kitchens with envisioning aesthetic changes and offering practical , budget-friendly solutions to logistic challenges in the kitchen . Hatcher suggested that rather than positioning cabinets over the range hood , deeper cabinets be placed above the refrigerator . A wine rack and pullout shelves are integrated into white cabinets with inset Shaker doors . White Danby honed marble countertops provide a sleek but classic look to the perimeter cabinets as well as the island with an apron front sink . A panel refrigerator unifies the look . To save space , the microwave is cleverly concealed in a base cabinet . Acrylic counter stools with chrome feet are a fresh , transitional pairing with the island . An entry area leading from the deck into the kitchen was repurposed as a pantry .
Bailey and Jones designed the family room , formerly the dining room , to be connected to the kitchen by a generously sized eating area . The spacious new family room overlooks an outdoor living area that has comfortable seating , a fireplace , children ’ s play space , and an adjoining deck with a grill .
The kitchen ’ s laminate flooring was replaced with hardwood to match the existing hardwood throughout the house . All floors on the first floor were refinished .
