Transitional Blend: Cranberry Kitchen

Project Details

Originally, the client came to us wanting to open up the existing kitchen to the adjacent rooms by removing two large walls on either side of the existing kitchen. Much to our surprise, most of the heating and plumbing for the whole house ran in these two walls, making it challenging budget wise to move all of the pipes and duct and almost impossible to put a structural beam in the headers once we open the walls. Having to go back to the drawing board, we rearranged the space differently and eliminated an existing pantry to gain the more open kitchen the client was looking for. The client wanted an efficient, organized kitchen that is suited for a busy family with young children. They also wanted more updated finishes with a few “wow” factors. The client wanted a large island as the focus of the kitchen and an area for the young kids to put books and backpacks. The kitchen opens to a recently renovated, gorgeous and spacious deck area which is important to the family for entertaining and having parties. This project included all new hardwood flooring on the first floor and new staircase components as well.

How Our Design-Build Process Works

Remodeling doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We’ve spent years building a process that keeps things clear, organized, and efficient—start to finish. You won’t be chasing contractors or stuck waiting for answers. Our three-phase design-build approach brings everything under one roof: design, pricing, and construction. Here's how it flows:
Discovery

We get to know your home, understand how you live, and map out the possibilities. This includes layout options, a realistic investment range, and a clear scope of work so everyone’s aligned from the start.

Design Finalization

Once the big decisions are made, we dive into the details—materials, finishes, drawings, and walkthroughs. We’ll help you make confident selections and lock in a fixed price before we build a thing.

Construction

With everything approved and ordered, our in-house team and trusted trade partners get to work. You’ll get daily updates, streamlined communication, and a build that runs the way it should.
