After enduring a few DIY mishaps resulting in an unleveled sunroom, mismatched floors, a broken range, and a tight, confined kitchen for a few years, this Elk Grove Village client decided to call OHi. She asked us to create a functional and stylish space where she could proudly host guests. Our team removed the half wall separating the kitchen and sunroom, replaced the sunroom floor joists, layed continuous LVT flooring through the first floor, built a large island, added quartz countertops, and replaced the cabinets with a contrasting light grey base and talls and bright white upper cabinets. This space went from shabby and unusable to seamlessly stunning.
One of the client's top wishes was a large Island. Our designer opted for a 4.5' X 7' island with an overhang for bar seating on the front side, shallow storage for seldom-used items on the back, and a sink with Moen Wave Faucet. To make an island of this size fit in the kitchen while maintaining a functional flow and allowing easy access to the laundry closet, our designer had to place it slightly off-center. The island makes for a gorgeous centerpiece, bridging the gap between the kitchen and sunroom, and allows the client to enjoy the view of her backyard and mingle with guests while cooking.
Before: A wood-paneled wall with a cut-out window separated the kitchen from the sunroom; the cabinets were all unstained oak wood. There were limited laminate countertops. The appliances were white. The sink was between the microwave and toaster oven on the right wall counter. The range was broken with a white microwave above it. There was a prominent fan light fixture. There was ceramic tile flooring. There was a small black kitchen table.
After: The wood-paneled wall is removed, and there is now an island with three barstools. The sink has been relocated to the island, and the range is now on the right wall. There is a stainless steel oven with a matching range hood above it. The countertops have been replaced with white quartz, and the base and tall cabinets have a mist on cherry stain. The upper wall cabinets contrast lightly with the Decorator's White stain. The of its have been removed, and a crown molding detail is above the cabinets. Audra Ridge K na Beach LVT flooring continues through the kitchen and sunroom.
