A multi-phased kitchen addition and bathroom remodel.

This multi-phase remodel project focused on enlarging and rethinking the kitchen, improving flow throughout the house, and renovating bathrooms to better accommodate family life. The first phase entailed a considerable redesign of the home's entry and living spaces. A minor addition allowed us to relocate the kitchen south, creating a seamless link between the kitchen and dining room while also capturing spectacular western views. The original kitchen space was converted into a walk-in pantry, media equipment closet, and a small home office with sliding frosted glass. The remodel also improved the home's overall layout, including a newly expanded dining area that now serves as a casual family gathering spot near an existing fireplace. An entryway improvement included a useful mudroom-style closet, which improved the home's circulation. During phase two, we transformed a previous den, mudroom, and small bathroom into a completely usable guest bedroom suite. We also replaced an outdated glass trellis-style deck roof with a more lasting, period-appropriate sloped roof, allowing for outdoor enjoyment while maintaining the home's character. The third phase concentrated on the master and children's bathrooms. The master suite now has a lavish soaking tub, a walk-in shower with a rain shower head, and an alcove vanity. Built-ins, such as a dresser and a window seat with views of the Olympic Mountains, improve both aesthetics and functionality. The children's bathroom was updated with a space-saving vanity, wall-mounted fixtures, and colorful, modern lighting. The end result is a harmonious, light-filled, and highly functional home ideal for everyday living and entertaining—one that honors both meticulous craftsmanship and the surrounding natural beauty.
