The Homeowner’s Challenge

The homeowners wanted to create the perfect space for making family memories. Their existing kitchen and adjacent living areas felt compartmentalized and no longer supported the way they gathered, cooked, and entertained. They envisioned a warm, inviting kitchen with generous gathering spaces, improved functionality, and thoughtful details that would better serve their family for years to come. 

Hurst’s Approach

Hurst Design Build Remodel completely reimagined the main living areas by opening the floor plan and relocating key elements to improve flow throughout the home. The redesigned kitchen features two oversized islands, dedicated coffee and beverage stations, and a spacious pantry to support both everyday living and entertaining. Custom Mullet cabinetry, detailed millwork, a coffered ceiling, and layered lighting bring modern colonial character to the space while creating a bright, welcoming environment for family gatherings. 

Key Design Features

• Two oversized islands featuring Australian Pearl and Elysium quartzite countertops for prep space, seating, and entertaining

The open layout, expansive islands, dedicated coffee and beverage stations, and custom storage solutions create a kitchen that is well-suited for both everyday routines and large gatherings. Premium materials, professional-grade appliances, and carefully crafted architectural details give the home a refined modern colonial aesthetic while providing the functionality and flexibility the homeowners envisioned for years to come.
