Lakeside Kitchen Renovation

Laying the beautiful tile flooring

SCL is really excited to be working on a total kitchen and mudroom renovation for a client's lake house.  Like many of our renovation projects, we are part of a team that includes a kitchen designer and general contractor.  The creative design selection process requires a great deal of planning and thought, but the end results are so worth it!

The original kitchen was dated and dark.  In addition, there was a funky angled wall shared by the foyer.  It made the kitchen entry very tight and the work triangle snug.

We straightened the wall and created a much better space in the kitchen without sacrificing the foyer.  We also increased the length of the peninsula, which in turn opened the kitchen to the main living and dining areas.

Added cabinetry (window is on the left)

Our goal was to keep a "lake" feel and create a kitchen that is not formal and totally family oriented.  I think we are well on our way.  Stay tune for final pics...
