This single-family home purchased by a young family in Sterling, Virginia needed a kitchen and living space remodel. This family did not want separate kitchen and family spaces separated by a bearing wall. Our expert team got to work redesigning the spaces. By removing the wall and placing a large-scale island in place of the previous island, both kitchen and living spaces were opened up. The refrigerator and other tall elements were relocated to a north wall and covered with closet doors. By eliminating a window on one side, we enlarged the west wall of the kitchen to allow for new features such as a large-scale gas stove, custom-made metal hood surrounded by floating shelves, a full backsplash of granite covers up this entire wall. The previous north wall had a large-sized refrigerator and freezer, built-in coffee maker, microwave along with plenty of pantry and storage space. The new island sitting at the center of the kitchen, includes a farmhouse sink, dishwasher, and other amenities with plenty of seating. A new wood floor was installed across the entire space with a new stain color complimenting the island cabinet finish. The family room closet was converted to feature a wet bar area including a beverage center with display glass cabinets, a wine cooler, ice maker and decorated with waterjet backsplash & sconce lights. The high-end professional appliances and unique contrast between the stone top and cabinet finish make this kitchen remodel an award-winning project.
