A small, dark and isolated kitchen frustrated the clients, who were avid cooks and entertainers. The space was ripe for change but had to remain within the original blueprint. As the new and exciting kitchen renovation started, new ideas were introduced to make life in this home easier and more enjoyable.
Wider openings created connections and enhanced flow between key entertaining spaces, as well as to the outside. A classic two-toned, accented LaCanche range was imported from France and serves as a focal point. The showpiece range can be seen from nearly everywhere on the first floor. Honed marble countertops are reminiscent of trips to Europe where the clients drew inspiration from farmhouse kitchens in the valley of France.
The tired and outdated brick exterior of this home was also completely transformed. The old-looking brick was painted with a light tan exterior paint, making it look fresh and updated while new shutters, a new driveway, pathway and front entry with copper accents created a timeless curb-appeal.
The transformation of this home should inspire and refresh your senses. There’s so much to learn from this renovation!

Before: The old brick exterior looked tired and unattractive.
After: What a huge difference! A light tan exterior paint color lightens-up the brick exterior while a Bluestone pathway leads to the new front entry.
