Opening up the space was the key
design aspect the couple was looking
for to cultivate a more connected
experience in their kitchen. The new
design achieved it by removing a wall
to expand the kitchen footprint, relocating
a half bathroom out of the
main area, and adding a large island
in the new space. “We can all be
together now without yelling around
corners,” Caitlin comments.
White cabinets and countertops
along with a gray backsplash and light
flooring give the space a brightly neutral
aesthetic. “I went with something
I knew I wouldn’t get tired of, and I
can decorate with color around it,”
adds Caitlin. Natural light streams
in from the bay windows wrapped
around the kitchen sink. “Since we
stand there a lot, we wanted the sink
in the back of the bay, instead of in
the island, so we could enjoy our
view.”
Anatoliy Olesh, designer and project
manager for SemBro Designs,
explains “It was a pretty hefty project
with structural and plumbing
reroutes. But it went very smoothly,
our materials were all there and ready
to go on time. We completed the project
in approximately two months.”
Anatoliy explains SemBro Designs
business model is not to start a project
until all the materials are ordered
and received in their warehouse,
which safeguards them from backorders
and delays after a project has
started. “We adapted as a company,
we have a new standard that makes
for a great experience for our clients.
We do all the prep work beforehand
so we are ready to go.”
Like a wedding present, the couple’s
new kitchen was finished with
time to spare and enjoy before and
during their big day.
