Kowalske Kitchen & Bath was hired by a young family in a suburb of Milwaukee in need of a kitchen renovation. Their home is nestled in a beautiful wooded area off the Root River Parkway. Although the footprint of the kitchen was large, the original space was tight, cramped and dark. The goal of this renovation was to create an open, functional kitchen that included additional storage, more counter space, and an island with seating. Kowalske Kitchen & Bath worked closely with the homeowners to make smart design choices to create a space that is perfect for everyday cooking and entertaining. The new kitchen is full of natural light and feels more open with the removal of the soffits and adding a 15-foot vaulted ceiling. An existing skylight in the laundry area now casts sunlight into the kitchen. The white cabinets provide plenty of storage and compliments the white quartz countertops, farmhouse sink and travertine backsplash. A large island in front of the windows provides the family with an eat-in area overlooking the yard. An old closet was removed and replaced with a dry bar and beverage refrigerator. The adjoining laundry area was refreshed with new flooring and paint to match the kitchen.
