Family room , breakfast area and screen porch addition ; kitchen and mud room remodel
The homeowners of this two-story center-hall Colonial house bought it with the intention of remodeling . An expanded , more open kitchen was at the top of the menu of desired changes they presented to Bill Bruenderman . But before beginning the project , he suggested they organize their thoughts to more fully define their objectives . That exercise , along with the homeowners ’ accumulation of magazine photographs depicting aspirational designs , inspired Bruenderman ’ s plan . The redesign allows an uninterrupted flow throughout the first floor .
An existing small , dark kitchen wasn ’ t in keeping with the spirit of the family and their love of entertaining . The expanded and redesigned kitchen and informal dining area are part of the 18 ’ x 25 ’ addition on the back of the house . The dining area ’ s sloped ceiling is a striking architectural feature of the space . “ We joke that it feels as if we are walking into someone else ’ s kitchen . It ’ s like we ’ re on vacation every morning ,” says the homeowner about the new kitchen that has cabinets with inset divided light doors , a marble countertop and a white subway tile backsplash . A touch of European style harmonizes with the kitchen ’ s unmistakable sense of hospitality .
Integrated into the space are cabinetry and a desk that don ’ t sacrifice aesthetics for utility . When other lighting is dimmed , rope lighting above the unit casts a soft glow that permeates the entire area .
The new 14 ’ x 16 ’ screened porch , with a vaulted ceiling , bead boarding and ceiling fan is a delightful combination of tropical ambience and Southern charm . When the family entertains , it ’ s usually a lively group of adults and children who can ’ t resist the appeal of the adjacent new patio and inviting landscaping .
Even the mudroom , with its travertine marble floors , boasts a sense of style while showing its practicality . Pegged hooks and open lockers are convenient for coats and boots , backpacks , and shopping bags that are brought in from the adjoining two-car garage . A washer and dryer supplement those in the basement .
Family room renovation involved creating a new cased opening that leads into the living room , and painting the wood paneling , but leaving the distinctive beams .
An ebony vanity is contrasted by a white marble countertop in the remodeled half bath .
Hardwood floors were laid in the kitchen and half bath and were refinished throughout the first floor .
