Modern Farmhouse: Upper St. Claire Kitchen Remodel

Project Details

This project took an extremely small existing kitchen and made a large kitchen with a large area for entertaining. The family has a large extended family and wanted a space more conducive to having larger parties and entertaining. In addition, the house is tucked in an area surrounded by nature and beautifully landscaped. The clients already had a modern farmhouse theme throughout their home, so finding the right finishes for the project was key. We eliminated a wall between the existing kitchen and the dining and eliminated a wall between the kitchen and the family room and made one large existing kitchen and bar space. In addition, we had to reinforce the ceiling with a steel beam to provide the structural integrity necessary from removing the two walls. As the space was rearranged, we also added a new, larger window above the sink to show off the fantastically landscaped back deck area of the house. Pulling together the Modern Farmhouse look required finding the best possible finishes for the project and I wanted to have a little bit of bling added.

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.
