Once in a while we will do a project far from home, this was a kitchen remodel done in Florida for some close friends. The small kitchen in this condo once was separated from the living room, making it appear to be even smaller than it was. We started with removing the wall that separated the kitchen from the living room and constructing a half-wall for the bar. The entire kitchen area had all new recessed lights added to brighten up the small space. The owners chose to go with a simple white cabinet to help make the kitchen feel larger. The granite countertop was the dramatic piece of this kitchen remodel and paired perfectly with the new cabinets and tile work. The tile backsplash behind the stove is one that they saw on one of our previous jobs and really liked. The wine rack is a nice piece to tie the kitchen in with the surrounding space. The hanging pendent lights add lighting above the bar nicely.

White kitchen cabinets, while basic, can have a great effect on a kitchen if done properly. This kitchen remodel in East Lansing has simple white cabinets that look amazing. The oak floors were already in great shape allowing the homeowner to spend more on other areas like the neutral colored granite countertops. Keeping a kitchen remodel simple like this can still have a dramatic effect if done well.

This Lansing area kitchen remodel was done in a Cherry cabinet with a pecan glaze finish. The different depths of upper cabinets give the room a dramatic look while adding storage space for small kitchen appliances. The custom tile back splash was an extensive process that included our in-house drafter drawing each tile on the wall before placing them to make sure it was perfect. The backsplash above the tile features ceramic tile that looks like a wood trim, 1×1 mosaic tiles, and a decorative tile placed at a diagonal. The light colored granite countertops paired with the light colored tile backsplash help brighten up the space. The glass door panels above the wine cooler add a nice decorative touch to the already dramatic kitchen.

This kitchen remodel in Okemos is a small yet amazing kitchen. The homeowners wanted to completely redo their kitchen with character. There are so many details in this kitchen; from the vintage style handles to the green mosaic tile backsplash. We started the remodel process by moving the wall that divided the kitchen and living room over a mere 22 inches and enclosing it to include only a small pass through. We decided to do the cabinet doors on either side of the pass through in a different style door to break-up the monotony of the wall cabinets. The high-definition laminate countertops added a high-end look at a moderate price. Using a corner sink allowed the homeowners to utilize their food preparation area the best. The final touch is the Duraceramic flooring which looks and feels like ceramic tile, but does not have the cold feeling as a ceramic tile.

The goal of this couple was to create a large area where they could have family get-togethers.  By removing the center cabinets, knocking out the knee wall, and squaring off the dining room with a 10×10 addition, we created a large open living area perfect for all of their family to use.  The new wood floor creates an easy to clean surface throughout the entire space that allows the grandchildren to run their race cars on.  The light finished wood cabinets offer excess storage and keep the space bright.  The countertop and backsplash are both made of Corian and create a easy to clean surface for any spills or splatters.  The large island counter space makes a perfect spot for the family to gather, prep or serve food on, or even play games on.  The matching of the crown-molding with the cabinetry trim required us to custom-cut the trim to fit snuggly with one another.

When it comes to custom-built cabinets it can be more cost effective and beneficial to simply re-finish the cabinets. This is exactly what we did in this mother/daughter kitchen.  With painting the cabinets white and having the doors and drawer faces sanded and stained this kitchen took on a whole new look.  The Corian solid surface top with a custom-built Corian sink makes a dramatic top for these cabinets.  The white Corian backsplash has the appearance of drywall but is much easier to maintain.  The large 24×24 floor tiles carry into the bathrooms as well as the foyer
