A Transitional Style Renovation in Elkcreek Crossing

The Challenge

The homeowners presented a multifaceted challenge. In the kitchen and dining area, the goal was to create a more open and spacious feel while contending with the limitations of existing flooring that could not be replaced. Additionally, a window overlooking the neighbor’s property required careful consideration to maintain privacy and aesthetics. In the master bathroom, the existing layout was outdated and inefficient, with an unused whirlpool tub occupying valuable space. The homeowners desired a reconfiguration that would optimize functionality and create a luxurious spa-like retreat.

The Vision

The homeowners envisioned a transformation of their living space. In the kitchen and dining area, they desired a seamless flow and a more open concept that would facilitate both daily living and entertaining. The underutilized dining and sitting room areas presented an opportunity to expand the kitchen’s footprint and create a more cohesive and functional space. In the master bathroom, the vision was to replace the outdated features with a modern, spa-like ambiance and high-end finishes.

The Solution

To achieve the homeowners’ vision, a strategic approach was implemented. In the kitchen, the wall separating it from the dining room was removed, instantly creating a more open and airy feel. The elimination of the whirlpool tub in the master bathroom opened up a range of possibilities for reconfiguring the space.

The Results

The results of the renovation exceeded the homeowners’ expectations. In the kitchen, the removal of the wall allowed for the introduction of a new moveable island, providing additional workspace and flexibility. The expanded kitchen also accommodated more cabinet storage, including a walk-up pantry, eliminating the need to go to the basement for additional supplies. By repurposing the underutilized front family room into a new dining area, the homeowners gained the space for a larger dining table, perfect for hosting gatherings and holidays.

In the master bathroom, the removal of the whirlpool tub paved the way for a luxurious walk-in shower and an expanded master closet with an upgraded closet system. The redesigned master bathroom cabinetry incorporated internal accessories, maximizing storage and organization. The overall result was a serene and spa-like retreat, featuring high-end finishes and modern amenities.
