Kitchen Addition in Olmsted Falls, Ohio

Keith and Jamie had poured years of love and effort into their home, which they purchased as their first house. While the location remained ideal, the functionality of the space no longer met the demands of their growing family of five. Their kitchen was cramped, making it difficult to host gatherings or enjoy simple family meals. The laundry area, equally tight, lacked the storage and flow needed to double as a mudroom. They came to us with a vision: a kitchen renovation and remodel that would create a healthier, more inviting, and family-friendly space reflecting their rustic aesthetic and supporting their lifestyle.

One of the primary goals of this kitchen remodel was to design an addition that blended seamlessly with the existing structure while dramatically improving the layout and function. The new kitchen needed to be open and highly functional—capable of supporting everything from daily cooking to entertaining. The laundry area needed to transition into a well-organized mudroom. Both spaces required eco-friendly design choices, as indoor air quality and allergy concerns were top priorities. Avoiding traditional materials that emit dust, formaldehyde, and VOCs meant sourcing natural and non-toxic alternatives throughout the kitchen renovation.

The completed kitchen renovation features a bright, spacious design filled with natural light, improved air circulation, and rustic finishes that echo Keith and Jamie’s style. We blended new solid hardwood flooring with the original, then refinished the entire first floor using low-VOC products for a healthier living space.

Reclaimed barn siding added texture and authenticity to the kitchen and laundry room, while solid wood cabinetry brought both beauty and longevity. An eight-foot sliding patio door and operable casement windows enhanced energy efficiency and ventilation while strengthening the home’s connection to the outdoors—an important element for this nature-loving family.

As part of this eco-conscious kitchen remodel, we selected non-toxic, non-porous, and antimicrobial surfaces that are easy to clean and safe for the family. A state-of-the-art anti-allergen air filtration system was integrated into the HVAC to support healthier indoor air throughout the home.

The result of this thoughtful kitchen renovation and remodel is a stunning, rustic space designed for real family living. From the vintage farmhouse sink to the reclaimed wood accents and abundant natural light, every detail serves both function and wellness. Keith and Jamie now have the warm, welcoming home they envisioned—one that brings people together, supports healthier living, and reflects the beauty of the outdoors within.
