CHALLENGE #2:
ELIMINATING THE OPENING IN THE FLOOR

Solutions

A stairwell leading to the basement below featured an open balcony in the middle of the kitchen
with full windows that ran from the bottom level
to the kitchen ceiling.
"This really cut the kitchen space in half," said
Linnebach, who explained that there was only
enough room around the balcony for a small
breakfast table right next to the recyclables and
trash storage bins. "There was also a noise issue
with this open space. If someone was trying to talk
upstairs in the kitchen and another was watching
a game in the basement, the sound would travel."
The designer saw an opportunity to close off
the balcony and use that square footage for muchneeded base cabinet and countertop space. The
opening was sealed off with new framing, and
the existing set of three floor-to-ceiling windows
was removed and reframed to accommodate a
large picture window placed above the new bank
of base cabinets.
Closing off the balcony opening allowed Linnebach to incorporate a large island in the middle
of the space. The island's massive, full-slab countertop provides an ample prep area for the mother
and daughters during their heavier baking sessions, as well as casual seating for daily meals or
social gatherings.The additional countertop along
the newly framed wall also provides much-needed
space for serving trays and seasonal decorations.

ABOVE The stained oak island,

stair rail and floor bring warmth
to the family space and balance out the perimeter of white
cabinets.

LEFT Organic elements in

the new kitchen include the
seeded glass-blown pendants
over the island, the seeded
glass cabinet door inserts and
an acrylic panelized, birch twig
stair railing.

CHALLENGE #3: TACKLING THE MISCELLANEOUS

To brighten up the former kitchen - complete with ebony cabinets and
orange-painted walls - the design team chose to blend the oak wood tones
of the floor, stair railing and island with the new white cabinets and countertops. The muted slate blue wall color helps balance the warm wood tones
throughout.
The final challenge was trying to complete the renovation with the family's
addition of a new - and inquisitive - Samoyed puppy named Hugo. While
barricades had been erected to keep him out, he still managed to find his way
in after crews left for the day.
"He was very curious and liked to get into stuff, as all puppies do," said
Linnebach. "We had all sorts of fun finding out what he had done to the
space overnight. He chewed trim, tore up plans and stepped in a paint tray
accidentally left open, leaving his puppy prints throughout the new space.
We did our best to prepare for this, learned some new lessons, and thankfully
nothing major happened in the process and everything came out beautiful in
the end."
