Kowalske Kitchen & Bath transformed this 1940s Delafield cape cod into a stunning home full of charm. We worked with the homeowner from concept through completion, ensuring every detail of the interior and exterior was perfect! The goal was to restore the historic beauty of this home. Interior renovations included the kitchen, two full bathrooms, and cosmetic updates to the bedrooms and breezeway. We added character with glass interior door knobs, three-panel doors, mouldings, etched custom lighting and refinishing the original hardwood floors. The center of this home is the incredible kitchen. The original space had soffits, outdated cabinets, laminate counters and was closed off from the dining room with a peninsula. The new space was opened into the dining room to allow for an island with more counter space and seating. The highlights include quartzite counters, a farmhouse sink, a subway tile backsplash, custom inset cabinets, mullion glass doors and beadboard wainscoting. The two full bathrooms are full of character – carrara marble basketweave flooring, beadboard, custom cabinetry, quartzite counters and custom lighting. The walk-in showers feature subway tile, Kohler fixtures and custom glass doors. The exterior of the home was updated to give it an authentic European cottage feel. We gave the garage a new look with carriage style custom doors to match the new trim and siding. We also updated the exterior doors and added a set of french doors near the deck. Other updates included new front steps, decking, lannon stone pathway, custom lighting and ornate iron railings. This Nagawicka Lake home will be enjoyed by the family for many years.

This Family Room, the second Family Room in the home, would be better called the Media Room. The husband is an avid collector of music, and appreciated the tactile, and visual aspects of the product in addition to the audible aspects. Jule Lucero, Interior Designer, based in Honolulu, custom designed this room for him. A wall behind was removed, to change 2 closets into a vestibule, to house the expansive CD & DVD music collection. The terra cotta tile floor was resourced, a custom glass & slate tile inset, and custom design cabinets and new lighting, create a functioning feature to use and share with guests. The central cabinet was designed by Jule, to accommodate a turntable, and media equipment. It has a hinged top, pull-out drawers, and venting from underneath and behind. The moulding and finish were designed by Jule Lucero, to offset the slate and glass tile accents, inlayed into the terracotta floor tile. The Ottoman Poof, was custom designed to be functional, durable, with reinforced braided pull into the edge piping, and vinyl floor glides to allow an agile use for this room, moving furniture for Yoga and entertaining.
