The Homeowner’s Challenge

The homeowners wanted to transform their dated first floor into a home that better reflected their style and supported the way they lived. The existing kitchen felt disconnected from the surrounding spaces and lacked the functionality, storage, and entertaining capabilities they desired. Their vision was to create an open, sophisticated living environment with seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and gathering areas. 

Hurst’s Approach

Hurst Design Build Remodel reimagined the first floor by opening the layout and creating a spacious kitchen designed around gathering. Custom cabinetry, carefully selected finishes, and architectural details bring a refined yet comfortable feel to the home. Every element was thoughtfully integrated to improve circulation, maximize storage, and create a cohesive design that extends beyond the kitchen into the surrounding living spaces. 

Key Design Features

• Expansive center island with seating for family and guests 
• Custom cabinetry with abundant storage and built-in organizational features 
• Dedicated beverage and entertaining area 
• Professional-grade appliances integrated into the custom design 
• Natural stone countertops paired with a full-height backsplash 
• Wide-plank hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas 
• Decorative ceiling details, custom millwork, and layered lighting that add warmth and architectural interest 

Outcome

The renovation transformed the first floor into a bright, inviting space that balances timeless style with everyday functionality. The open layout encourages gathering, the custom storage simplifies daily routines, and the carefully curated finishes create a home that feels both elegant and welcoming for years to come.
