Integration of Modern and Traditional Design

Integrating new material updates while maintaining the home’s existing charm was the challenge brought to Taylor Made Custom Contracting. New appliances such as a wet bar, ice maker and wine refrigerator were introduced into this butler’s pantry. Wanting a contrast with the custom white wood cabinetry, the homeowners selected black quartz counter tops and sage glass mosaic tiles.

For design continuity purposes, matching Corian surfaces were fabricated and installed on the existing 60″ x 60″ kitchen table and butler’s pantry counter tops.

The radiators were relocated to make room for additional cabinets. Along with the stainless steel intricate lighting system, Taylor Made installed recessed lights, dimmer switches and under-cabinet lighting to complete the transformation.

Award Winning Kitchen & Family Room Remodel!

Living in a center hall colonial from the 1970′s, the homeowners needed a larger kitchen to support their growing family.

Restricted by the inability to expand with an addition, Taylor Made utilized the existing footprint of the house to remodel the kitchen and expand it into the adjoining family room.

Family Room Before

This made room for a granite topped two-tiered island with a unique foot allowing both work room and seating area.

Because of the kitchen’s angled central work station, homeowner can prepare for while interacting with guests who are seated at the connecting higher tiered eating area.

The flow of the home was preserved by the consistent hardwood flooring and the color and cabinet features were in keeping with the home’s traditional feel. The result was a large gathering area to be used for everyday activities as well as entertaining larger groups.

Screened in Porch Becomes a Kitchen!

This addition project included updating and extending the kitchen by adding new cabinetry and granite counter tops.


The existing screened in porch was transformed into a large enclosed breakfast area.


This new area included a vaulted ceiling, hardwood flooring, large windows and a sliding glass door.


The homeowners are delighted because the extra space gives them “breathing room” and an excuse to entertain.

Character Filled Kitchen

Taylor Made designed an addition for the rear of the home to include a new powder room and an enlarged kitchen area.

     

Naturally, we had to update the kitchen to take advantage of the new space. With ceilings present, we provided taller cabinetry to extend the storage space without losing any floor space.

Traditional cabinetry with detailed moldings was chosen to retain the charming qualities already integrated in the home.

Granite counters, commercial style stainless steel appliances and radiant floor heating added the comforts and conveniences of a modern kitchen.

Unique hardware chosen by the homeowner completed the stylish urban kitchen.
