There’s no greater satisfaction when completing a project than taking a look at the before picture and realizing how far you’ve come.  Today, we’re sharing some before and after shots from a client in Wisconsin who recently remodeled her century-old period style home.

Before

Original to the home, this Light Grey Tennessee Marble sink was very important to the homeowner.  She wanted to preserve its 100-year presence in the home by incorporating it into the new kitchen design.

After

Crown Point kitchen designer Christine Dunleavy was up to the task (piece of cake!) and worked with the homeowner to integrate the sink in a Victorian inspired kitchen with custom cabinetry in Steeple White.

Before

On an adjacent wall, cabinetry between the door and window offered a good deal of storage, but lacked counter space.

After

By eliminating the soffit, Christine made room for a fully integrated refrigerator with cabinet space above.  And, she was able to raise the wall cabinet, creating counter space ideal for the microwave oven.   Additional counter space was added in the form of a dropped baking center, built in below the window, with views of the backyard.

“I appreciate Christine’s design skills every time I use my kitchen,” said the homeowner.  “It’s so easy to work in, and it looks great too!”

It’s nice to have some good news these days, and today we’ve got it! Our crew celebrated with cake, ice cream and confetti earlier in the week in recognition of a 30 percent increase in sales for the month of February in addition to an all time record for projects quoted in a single month!

Our President, Brian Stowell, organized the event to let the crew know how grateful he is for both accomplishments.  “Everyone has worked above and beyond to make this happen,” he said. “To sell 30 percent more than last February, in these economic conditions is no small feat. I could not  be prouder of this group!”
