This Hoffman Estates couple wanted to create a contemporary space that reflected the Frank Lloyd Wright Architecture style of the rest of their home. He's the cook, and she cares for their many freshwater fish, which they asked OHi to accommodate in their kitchen remodel. Our team opened the kitchen into the dining room, added built-in buffets for the fish tanks, replaced the cabinets, and built a walk-in pantry. The pièce de résistance is the range backsplash that pulls the colors of the entire space together and further emphasizes the oceanic and organic appeal of the design.
The couple wanted the kitchen to be exclusively for cooking and housing their freshwater fish. They asked to add a walk-in pantry for additional storage for their food, dishes, pots and pans, and fish supplies. Our designer took over a portion of the garage to build the pantry. She added a countertop for their small appliances, a suspended pot and pan rack above a small butcher-top portable island, a tall freezer, and additional cabinets. To allow for a streamlined cooking experience, she designed an extra deep peninsula with cabinets on either side of the range, including a spice rack and utensil pull-out.
Before: The kitchen was closed off by a partial wall next to the stove and a peninsula with top-wall cabinets. The cabinets were oak with no hardware. There was a small butcher's block on the temporary island in the center, with a cutting board stacked on top and a full shelf below. The range was stainless steel and black, with a matching microwave above it. The walls had a beige cross-hatched textured wallpaper.
After: The peninsula has been removed, and the partial wall has been cut down. The range is built into an extra-deep peninsula in the center of the space with brown melamine cabinets on either side, a large terracotta and blue porcelain slab backsplash behind the range, and a stainless steel range hood. The kitchen now opens into the dining room, and there are two custom-built-in buffets with freshwater fish tanks on top of them.
