Kitchen remodel; updates throughout home’ s interior
When the owner of this 1970s walk-out ranch met with Kruse Allison to do the design of a more workable kitchen, remodeling plans soon expanded to other areas of the home. The project was initiated by the removal of walls that separated the kitchen from the dining room and family room. A new layout and attention to aesthetics instilled the kitchen with fresh character. Oxfordstyle raised panel cabinets extend to the ceiling, heightening the perception of the room. Interiorlit maple ginger cabinets with a black glaze are accented with antique glass doors. Built-in wine storage, sculpted drawer fronts, and nickel-brushed hardware enhance the design of the cabinetry. The lazy Susan and full extension, soft close drawers add a welcome practicality. Brazilian Black granite countertops pair beautifully with the ceramic textured tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances. A peninsula that coordinates with the cabinets is significant to the improved space planning. Other amendments to the kitchen include new electrical, a gas line for the stove, and a drop-down undercabinet television.
The living room is enriched by a new white oak floor. Other floors in the house were sanded and refinished. Painting most of the walls in the house proved to be a challenge because of the layers of wallpaper that had to be removed before the walls could be skimmed. Rough paneling in the family room received a painted makeover that results in a much more current and inviting space. A paddle ceiling fan in the room does double duty by circulating the air and providing a casual embellishment.
The former parquet floor in the entry was substituted with a marble tile floor. Six-panel Masonite doors replaced the original ones throughout the house. Sprucing up the hall was accomplished through redrywalling the ceiling and refurbishing with fashionable lighting. Dimmers were placed on all the lights in the house, providing a quick and easy change of mood.
The remodeling extended to the exterior of the home where Kruse Allison repaired the handrail on the deck and installed decorative and security lights.
