I am so excited to share our latest home renovation project!
My incredible Chicagoland clients, Ken and Katie, came to me with a dated condo kitchen that was not ideal for entertaining.
The kitchen had an awkward peninsula and no sight-lines to the family room leaving a huge disconnect between working in the kitchen while entertaining guests.
After discussing their needs, budget and timeline we knew we had to get creative. They desired a modern and open kitchen with a $40,000 budget (excluding appliances and flooring).
We hoped to open up the wall to the family room, remove the peninsula for better flow, and add a wine bar area to bring the eating area into the kitchen.
But, being in a condo building, codes are different and walls are metal studs, not wood. You cannot move a wall or take a wall out if plumbing to your neighbor above is running through it!
After contacting the architect to get building and unit drawings, we found we were able to open up the wall between the kitchen and family room. This would be the first step to connecting the two spaces and make for a better space to entertain!
We took the clients to the design center to select cabinet color, style, and finalize the layout. We also selected a gorgeous linear backsplash with a lot of depth and a marble look countertop.
But one of our favorite finishing touches was the dual-colored cabinets-that provided dramatic interest in the space. Our clients chose a white shaker and beautiful blue for an accent.
Although challenges always arise on projects we always get past them. The results are worth every minute!
The before and after photos tell an amazing transformation story!

Hi,
Thanks for writing this in-depth review.
In fact, I found the information I was looking for in your article. It’s really helpful.
I have benefited from reading your article.Thank you very much.
Wow, what a stunning kitchen renovation! I love the way you opened up the space and added the wine bar area. It’s amazing how you were able to overcome the challenge of the metal studs in the walls. The white shaker cabinets with blue accents are a perfect touch. This is a kitchen that I would love to spend time in.
As an SEO Specialist and content writer specializing in UK Market for Loft Boarding services, I believe that loft boarding is a great way to add more space to a home, especially in a condo where space is often limited. It can be used to create a home office, a guest room, or even a playroom for children. With careful planning and design, loft boarding can be a beautiful and functional addition to any home.
I would love to hear more about your experience with loft boarding. What challenges did you face? What tips would you give to others who are considering loft boarding their home?
