PROJECT FEATURE: KITCHEN RENOVATION, MORAN ST. HALIFAX, NS

SO YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT REMODELING YOUR KITCHEN IN THE HALIFAX METRO AREA.  YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT ALONE.  

Case provides kitchen remodeling in Halifax, Bedford, Dartmouth and the surrounding areas. Kitchen makeovers are among the most popular home renovation projects today. Maybe your kitchen lacks adequate storage space, needs more light, is too small, is in need of repair or is just out of date. Whatever your reason, a kitchen remodel will make a huge impact on the look, feel, and value of your home and will provide you and your family years of enjoyment. This week we are taking a closer look at a kitchen remodel done in Central Halifax on Moran St.

DESIGN CONSULTATION

The process began with an initial free consultation to discuss the clients needs, budget considerations, time frame, and the best way to proceed.

THE CONCEPT

The two young professionals were looking for a bright youthful and most of all functional space where they can gather with friends.  They were looking for something fun to reflect their style while giving a sense of space in their quaint town-home in central Halifax.  Their goal was to accomplish this without loosing the caricature of the home. We mixed the traditional feel of the home with the urban style the clients were looking for. 

SELECTIONS

Traditional elements were added with white subway tile back-splash, knotty pine floors to match existing and an apron front style sink.  Urban elements were introduced with industrial chrome faucet, butcher block counter-tops, built-in open shelving, butcher block wall hung shelving with cast iron supports & shaker style cabinetry to finally connect the two styles.  More natural light was added when we decided to replace the existing window with a larger size allowing the homeowners to have more plants & herbs in their kitchen.

THE END RESULT

" I was greatly satisfied by the process of designing the kitchen.  Seeing a digital rendering of the home was very satisfying. Our final product looks just like the initial design.  Amy, the designer, did a very good job".

OLD TO NEW: SIMPLE CHANGES WITH BIG IMPACTS

Now that it’s a brand new year, it’s time to make a list of all the things you would like to change in your home.

Maybe your kitchen cabinets are just not right or you have been neglecting that guest bathroom that needs to be renovated. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Well, not anymore! This will be the year that you transform your home into exactly what you want it to be and we are here to help inspire you. Here are some simple tips on how to update a space so that it feels new and fresh.

UPDATE

Contemporary Kitchen by Crystal Cabinets

Some major changes you can make to your home are updating the flooring, cabinets, and appliances. These are the three things that date your home and often what home buyers notice first. If your flooring is covered in shag carpeting and your cabinets scream “I am from the 90’s, then it’s time to renovate. However, we understand that you might not be able to tear everything out right at this moment.

We recommend starting with small changes that will have a big impact on your room. The biggest and simplest change comes in a paint can. Paint over those honey oak cabinets with some fresh white paint and you will see your old dull kitchen transform before your eyes.

CHANGE THE FACE

A great way to update a space is to update the hardware. If you feel like your kitchen needs a makeover but you don’t want to remodel, try changing out your cabinet knobs. Are you tired of your old bathroom faucet and bored of your sink? Switching out your current faucet and opting for a contemporary sink can make your bathroom feel updated.

Select a new faucet like this one, from American Standard 2015 Collection

HOME DESIGN TRENDS FOR 2015

A New Year is here already and we all know what that means — time to make some resolutions to start fresh in the New Year. This is the perfect time to consider making some home improvements! Giving your home a makeover, even if you only chose one or two spaces, can help to rejuvenate you and your family and make 2015 the best year yet. Check out some of these 2015 home design trends to incorporate in your next remodel or redesign.

If a contemporary look is your style, check out this clean and sleek kitchen. Smooth lines and solid colors help to create a chic look, perfect for entertaining guests. Cool tones such as white, gray, and silver create the feeling a clean slate or fresh start, reflective of the feelings of starting a new year with new possibilities. The trend in this space for 2015 is the absence of wall cabinets- storage in an island or below counter space is often underutilized. Wall cabinets can be bulky and may distract from the sleek look of the room, so consider installing cabinets below or even choosing a piece of furniture to store plates and glasses for quick access.

Accent walls of all different materials are something to keep an eye out for in 2015. If you enjoy natural vibes in your home, consider incorporating a timber, wood plank accent wall. It can take a seemingly plain or utilitarian space to a space with the flare of the rest of your home. Consider, too, mixing textures and patterns- course timber matched with smooth, white porcelain fixtures can be the exact juxtaposition your space needs this year.

Another way to capture the playfulness of an accent wall would be through the use of patterned wallpaper. Choose a wall with enough space that the wallpaper pattern will be shown with high visibility, but maybe one with less surface area, so as not to overpower the room. The wallpaper should be the center of attention that drives the rest of the room, so choose other paint colors, fixtures, and appliances accordingly. It’s bold and daring, and what a better time to try something different than when starting a new year.

The laundry room probably receives the least amount of redesign attention, but this year could be your chance to revamp this space. Consider making this room not only a place to do laundry, but a place to store pesky home items such as an ironing board, various cleaning supplies, etc. Making just a few changes can easily make the laundry room your favorite room for 2015.
