Alison and Ryan, avid entertainers, knew their late 90’s home needed a major kitchen overhaul to better suit their lifestyle. Like many homes from that era, their kitchen and dining room were separated by a wall—making the space feel compartmentalized and less conducive to the open concept they envisioned. To create a more functional and inviting area for hosting gatherings, Alison and Ryan embarked on a full-scale kitchen renovation—transforming their space with high-quality cabinetry, modern appliances, and thoughtful design features.
The first step in Alison and Ryan’s renovation was to remove the non-load-bearing wall that separated the kitchen and dining room. This change immediately opened up the space—allowing for better flow and connectivity between the two areas. However, with the wall removed, a new challenge arose: the ceilings in the two rooms did not align. To resolve this, the ceiling height needed to be adjusted by two inches to ensure a seamless transition in the newly created space.
This structural adjustment set the stage for the new, open-concept layout that Alison and Ryan desired—a space where cooking, dining, and entertaining could all happen effortlessly.
One of the key elements of this renovation was the installation of all-new, high-quality cabinetry. Alison and Ryan chose cabinetry with all-wood boxes, a testament to the durability and craftsmanship they wanted in their new kitchen. The cabinetry was constructed with dove-tail drawers, which are renowned for their strength and longevity—ensuring that the kitchen would remain functional and beautiful for years to come.
In addition to the sturdy construction, the cabinetry featured soft-close hardware on both doors and drawers—adding a touch of luxury and quiet convenience to their daily routine. This attention to detail not only enhanced the functionality of the kitchen but also contributed to the overall aesthetic—creating a polished and refined look.
Alison and Ryan selected quartz countertops for their kitchen renovation—opting for a material that combines both beauty and practicality. Quartz is known for its durability, stain resistance, and low maintenance—making it the ideal choice for a busy kitchen that sees frequent use. The sleek, polished surface of the quartz counters perfectly complemented the new cabinetry—contributing to the modern and stylish design of the space.
To further elevate their kitchen, Alison and Ryan installed state-of-the-art appliances that made cooking and entertaining easier than ever. These new appliances not only improved the functionality of the kitchen but also added a touch of modern sophistication.
As avid entertainers, Alison and Ryan knew they needed a kitchen that could handle the demands of hosting. One of the standout features of their renovation was the addition of a dedicated coffee and wine bar area. This space was thoughtfully designed to include an extra sink—making it easier for them to prepare drinks and snacks while keeping the main kitchen area free for other tasks. Whether hosting an intimate gathering or a larger event, the coffee and wine bar provided the convenience and functionality that Alison and Ryan needed.
The island—a central feature of the kitchen—was designed to comfortably fit 10 seats, making it the perfect spot for guests to gather while meals were being prepared. Stylish pendant lights were installed above the island—adding both visual interest and practical lighting for the space.
To complete the look of their new kitchen, Alison and Ryan selected a stylish arabesque backsplash tile that added texture and personality to the space. The backsplash tied together the design elements—creating a cohesive and polished look that reflected their personal style.
Every detail of the kitchen renovation—from the high-quality cabinetry to the carefully chosen lighting—was designed with both form and function in mind. The result was a space that not only looked beautiful but also worked perfectly for Alison and Ryan’s busy lives and love of entertaining.
