The original kitchen in this older home desperately needed updating. Everything was crunched into a small space, with doors on facing walls—one in from outside, the other leading to the rest of the house—making it traffic central.
The kitchen was cramped and awkward, with limited cabinet storage and counter space. Lighting was limited to one ceiling fixture, and the sink was almost hidden beneath a cabinet. The entire effect was dark and cave-like. The owner wanted to rework the entire floor plan of the old-fashioned kitchen, opening it up to the family room to create a more modern and efficient open-concept living space.
Besides being outdated, the small L-shaped kitchen was hampered by short walls, giving it limited storage and even less counter space. By removing the back wall and moving the kitchen into the previous dining space, the work areas could be expanded and a more useful environment created.
While reasonably spacious with a functional layout, the kitchen was very dated and dark and needed an infusion of style. A wall divided the kitchen from the dining room, and was the site of a planning desk that served as a catchall, as well as providing an inconvenient site for a second oven.
Even with an abundance of cabinets the original kitchen was cramped and dark. The owner wished to modernize the space, opening it up into the living room/family room area. Larger openings were also desired between the dining room and family room and between the kitchen and hallway, with the hope of creating a more open concept space.
The client wanted to remodel the existing kitchen have a state of the art kitchen to cook, entertain and enjoy for years to come. Regency designed a new kitchen layout that met all of the design requirements of the customer
The original layout felt cramped and inefficient, with the refrigerator out of reach in the back hall and a hodge-podge of pantries and cabinets. Work areas were awkward, the dinette area was cramped, and access to the dining room difficult. Cabinets, counters and appliances were dated, counter space limited, and the whole area lacked any kind of flow.
The owners of this lovely home were ready to make some big changes to their kitchen and laundry room areas. Regency began this remodel with the demolition and removal of all existing floor tiles down to the sub floor, cabinetry, appliances, countertops, wallboard, and ceiling board.
The project was a kitchen remodel. The client wanted to update the look and to increase the room size of the exiting kitchen. The desired outcome was a larger more efficient kitchen that completely changed the look of the entire Arlington Heights home.
The single family home located in the Oakwood Subdivision in Grayslake, was built in 1999. The community is a family friendly, quiet and affordable. The neighborhood is located near Route 45 and Washington Street in Grayslake and is minutes away from Six Flags amusement Park, Gurnee Mills Shopping Mall and numerous other shops and restaurants
