REMODELING PORTFOLIO: KITCHENS

Classic Update for a Traditional Home

This repeat client came to Hopkins & Porter to update thhe family kitchen in thier Potomac, MD, home. They loved the general configuration of the kitchen but after living in it for more than twenty years they wanted a few major changes to go along with a complete kitchen remodel.

• Our designers removed an old-style peninsula design and added a new double oven and counter-depth sub zero area which greatly improved the work triangle. Under-cabinet xenon lights were installed to show off the crackled subway tile and decorative plates.
• One of the major changes was the size of the kitchen sink window. Hopkins & Porter tripled the size of the window over the sink, letting more natural light in and improving the view to the outside.
• A custom-designed center island replaced a peninsula, improving traffic flow and adding to the chef's interaction with guests.
• Custom cherry beams, cherry cabinets, recessed lights, sparkling hardwood floors, Verde granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and crackled subway tile really make this kitchen pop!
• An exposed natural brick wall adds beauty, warmth, and a textural change to the kitchen. The designers took advantage of this space to locate a desk and glass-door cabinets to show off family heirlooms, pictures and china.
