Kitchen Renovation
by
Heacker Interiors, Inc.
(IC: professional)
I worked with Portis Building and Interiors, Inc. on this Kitchen Renovation. We opened up to the Family Room and expanded the opening to the Dining Room. This created a light filled inviting respit for entertaining or just relaxing with the family.
*Options I considered for this project:
We looked at several options for opening up the space while maximizing the efficiency.
*Questions and unexpected events that arose during the project:
The client was not unhappy with their existing space yet wanted a change. As we worked thru the plans we kept ending up where we started. It wasn't until we chalked off the layout of the floor so they could virtually live in it for a weekend that they were able to commit to a change.
*My motivation to do this project:
We started to renovate this space, but the schedule was exelerated when the dishwasher broke.
*Project Steps:
After many alternates we found a layout they loved and began elevating the walls to determine the level of detailing and finish.
Advice:
A designer can help you avoid the pitfalls and hidden costs involved with a renovation project. A picture is always worth a thousand words. Do your research and give as many visuals as you can to describe what is important to you.
