The Greenfield, NH kitchen before the Crown Point remodel.
This small, dated kitchen in Greenfield, New Hampshire had long worn out its welcome when the homeowner contacted Crown Point about a remodel. After waiting more than a decade, she knew it was time to go for it, and to do it right. As the day approached for her cabinetry to arrive, she was apprehensive, wondering if the wood, paint and appliance decisions would all come together. And, would an island really fit in her kitchen?
Throughout the process, her Crown Point designer, Tamara Raymond, assured her that “it will be a beautiful fit.” Today, in her own words, the homeowner lets us know how it all turned out:
The Greenfield kitchen after the installation of Crown Point Cabinetry. The kitchen is now an open and inviting space.
“I am happy to say, Tamara was absolutely right. My new Crown Point kitchen transformed the look of our home and our relationship with cooking. The room is spacious (with the removal of only one 4-foot wall), convenient (with space for everything), and serenely beautiful (my friends say zenlike).”
“I chose Crown Point’s Barnstead door style, with square inset cabinetry. The upper cabinetry is hand-brushed with Farrow & Ball’s ‘Pointing’(a neutral cream paint). For the base cabinetry, I chose Quartersawn Oak with a Mission Brown finish and Shaker style toekicks.”
The addition of an island creates more work and entertaining space.
“When the cabinetry was installed, I knew the wood/paint combination was right immediately. The light paint and clean lines of the upper cabinetry gave the small area an open feel. The warm brown of the base cabinetry made the kitchen blend beautifully with the open living and dining room areas. The addition of the island transformed the room’s flow and made entertaining guests fun!”
“Working with Crownpoint was a 5-star experience. From the original computer drawings of what our kitchen would look like to the final adjustment of each cabinet door, our needs were always carefully considered and courteously met. Everyone remarks about the solid look, fine craftsmanship, and smooth operation of our cabinets. I’ve learned, there really is no need for angst when you decide on a Crown Point kitchen. Thank you, Tamara, and everyone at Crown Point.”
You are very welcome! We hope you continue to enjoy your Crown Point kitchen!
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!”
