before & after:
a welcoming kitchen, and baths for all
Even masterfully architected homes need a facelift eventually. Last year, we helped our clients see the potential in their circa 1980 Jim Estes designed home and transformed their spaces for more comfortable gathering and weekend entertaining.
The galley Kitchen, Powder Room and Pantry were reappointed while honoring the original architecture and strong lines of the space. And, we reworked the lower level space plan to increase the baths from one to three — so no more sharing bathrooms with weekend guests. (And if you’ve ever reworked a lower level space plan, you know its a challenge to work around structural and mechanical requirements to reimagine a space.)
While challenges were plentiful, the plan worked and the waiting list for summer weekend visits is already growing. An Estes home, proudly enhanced by taste.
Only the best,
A coffee and beverage bar welcomes guests into the Kitchen, day or night.
