Kitchen Remodel & Addition
Bayside, WI

J&J Contractors I, LLC

This home received a complete and total transformation! A large addition was added on to the back of the home that allowed not only for a larger kitchen and dining room but also allowed the entire location and flow of the kitchen to be relocated! What was previously a small and disjointed kitchen and dining room layout is now an expansive, luxurious kitchen with all the amenities and style this young couple could hope for. Custom cabinetry, an over-sized large island, pendant lighting, painted cabinets, and beautiful backsplash are just some of the features that bring this remodel to life.

The goal of this first-floor remodel was to create a more open, family-friendly kitchen for a couple who loves to entertain. Beautiful elements make this kitchen shine, including a zellige tile backsplash, matte black hardware and walnut detail on the hood. The wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed to bring in more natural light and connect the rooms. A large island provides seating for the family and guests. A walnut kitchen island and build-in coffee bar add warmth and complement the taupe cabinets along the range wall. Functional elements include deep drawers, a galley workstation sink and a walk-in pantry. The laundry room, powder bathroom and fireplace were also updated.

Franklin, WI
GMH Construction, Inc.

This home's first floor underwent a stunning transformation with a nod to mid-century design, emerging as a sanctuary of modern form and function. The space immediately captivates with a unique, eye-catching geometric design on the staircase. The expanded kitchen features a cascading backsplash, quartz countertops, luxury plumbing fixtures, and ample storage concealed behind minimalist cabinetry. a central island beckons for casual meals or impromptu conversations. The rich finishes keep the space warm and inviting while carefully selected light fixtures add a pop of whimsy and elegance throughout. The open concept living and dining room space exudes contemporary elegance with its sleek design and thoughtful layout. The original, over-sized fireplace was removed from the center of the room, and a modern electric fireplace now offers a fresh focal point for gathering and relaxation while freeing space for the newly appointed dining area. The relocated laundry room now incorporates a mudroom right off the garage entry to simplify everyday life while a new office, strategically tucked away, ensures complete privacy. Thoughout, neutral tones prevail, accented by pops of color and pattern, lending a sense of warmth and personality. This first floor remodel is not just a renovation; it's an imagining of living space, harmonizing style with practicality to create a haven for modern living.

From traditional to eclectic, this kitchen underwent a stunning transformation. With subtle layout changes, the homeowner desired a modern touch while showcasing their distinctive style through playful, statement pieces. The bold induction stove and marble-wrapped hood steal the show as the kitchen's main focal points. To enhance the kitchen's entrance, a larger, modern fireplace was integrated, seamlessly tying the space together. Every detail, from trim to interior doors to lighting, wasn't overlooked, resulting in a cohesive look throughout the entire space.

This whole-house remodel encompasses two stories of beautifully reimagined contemporary living, while maintaining the home's historic character. Virtually every space was completely reimagined and redesigned. The large kitchen addition is flooded with natural light and opens to a new deck and newly landscaped backyard oasis. A mudroom was created with custom cabinetry and sensible storage. Walls were removed to open the first floor and create a connected living space. The second level dormer addition allowed a complete transformation into a primary suite with a large bedroom, loft sitting area, walk-in closet, and luxury bath. This entire project demonstrates how an old home can be fully transformed with amazing craftsmanship, beautiful finishes, and fine attention to all details.

 

 

Family Room Addition & Kitchen RemodelSchofield Sierzchulski 1
Wauwatosa, WI
Knutson Bros. Design-Build, LLC

This project addresses "empty nesters" concerns when they wanted to stay in their 1960's ranch home, but wanted more space for entertainment. There was a corner of the house where an addition was possible, but the roof lines of the house intersected each other. A unique design blended the two roofs. The entire back wall of the house and one bedroom were removed and a 30' x 16' addition was built in this corner, whereas both the kitchen and the den were expanded into a great room. This projected includes spray foam insulation in all walls, ceiling and floor. New windows, a mini-split HVAC unit, a lineal gas fireplace, and new hardwood floors make this home complete.
