A local Before and After

This local kitchen and dining room was due for a dramatic reconfiguration of space.  The client wanted an informal family room and kitchen with a open modern interpretation of a country kitchen.  A small bump out incorporating the existing porch added the square footage to the kitchen.  Removing the wall between the kitchen and formal dining room made way for an expansive island with plenty of seating!  A new professional range and hood mix with the softer country elements like the apron front sink, Dutch door, and open shelving.   Overall the new space is a delight for the client and her family and hopefully it will inspire you to get started on your next remodeling project!

Award Winning Kitchen Design

 The blue tape hints at what's to come...
 The once "hallway Kitchen" is transformed into an open floor plan combined with the living area... a new line of sight allows for a visual from the front door all the way to back of the home.
 The custom island hugs the stairs to provide maximum storage from the rear for seasonal items.
 The wall was extended to provide a custom niche for the microwave and towels - while providing balance to the new walkways on either side of the island.
Its nice to start out a new year with news and a great outlook   In January Harry Braswell Inc. received an award for its design.  As the designer for this project its great to see our great work highlighted!  A great team effort for kitchen design by Virginia Kitchens (Erin Hoopes) and Project Management and architectural planning by Harry Braswell Inc. (Mary Denby).  Hopefully this is a great sign of good things to come in 2012!  Check back for more updates on projects as they progress!
