Introduction:
We bought the house in summer 2010 intending to do a kitchen remodel as soon as possible.  Design discussions started in Fall 2010, and work started in January.  The project was completed in May 2011.

We removed a large portion of a wall to expand the kitchen's size significantly, as well as opening up another wall above a staircase.  New floors, cabinets, and appliances finished up the project.

  • Cabinets: Crystal Quest Claremont, cherry with cinnamon finish and black glaze
  • Countertops: Barricato slab granite
  • Backsplash: Variable sized marble subway tile with decorative inset above stove
