Enjoy our before and after slideshow.
All after photos are right below.

For these gorgeous after photos, we partnered with the talented Emily of Emily Rose Imagery.
Interior design on the project was done by Cloth & Kind.

The G shaped kitchen with one way in and one way out in this 1940 2-story brick colonial was not working out for our clients and their young family. Having recently moved into their new home, our clients struggled with the lack of circulation and flow, the difficulty of having more than one cook in the U shaped cooking space, and the separated breakfast area. They wanted a more open and inclusive space where they can eat together, do homework, and entertain. Please scroll to end of blog to see the transformed kitchen, now a more spacious, family friendly space with fun colors and beautiful cabinetry.

We start by removing everything in the kitchen.
We then select a few cabinets and set up a temporary kitchen for the family in another room.

Soffits and drywall are removed as we prepare for new plumbing and electrical.

We are taking out a non-bearing wall as well as a load-bearing wall to create a large open space for gathering.

The floors and walls above are braced with temporary walls while we replace the bearing wall with new steel.

Working smarter!
Our carpenters build a shelf to hold the beam while they’re getting everything in place.

Now that the beam is in, the temporary walls are removed.

We have an open plan between the kitchen and the dining room.

The steel beam gets wrapped with a reclaimed barn beam that has been washed and kiln-dried, then ripped into three pieces, and now is being re assembled.

The main beam is in and the secondary beams are fitted.

After a dry fit run everything is nailed, glued and clamped.
