Altered Spaces

Transforming this Sudbury kitchen in the same footprint included new custom cabinetry and countertops, new appliances, a coffee bar in a previously unused corner as well as a wall of display storage, including a (hidden) full-depth pantry. The door leading to the old porch is now open to the four-season sunroom. A peninsula countertop by the sunroom offers seating and open shelving above.

The ceiling received a shiplap treatment while the rustic white oak hardwood floor was matched where needed. The renovated kitchen offers a lot more storage, including a walnut bookshelf for the client's cookbook collection.

There were four equal-sized bedrooms on the second floor. Carving a primary suite from two of the bedrooms, one with a tiny en-suite bath and two small closets, drove the design of this project. Combining the bedrooms allowed us to bring the wife's dressing table and rolling racks of clothes down from the finished space in the walk-up attic. Another bonus: bringing a washer/dryer closet into the new primary bathroom.

The enlarged space has more natural light, plus new custom cabinetry, a bath with a walk-in shower, and built-in and walk-in closets offering both luxury and functionality.
