This Kenner kitchen had good bones - but the homeowner wanted something that actually felt like them. We're talking quartz countertops, a brand new window cut into the wall, updated wallpaper, a full repaint, custom trim work throughout, and antique doors with ornate ironwork that bring a whole different level of character to the space. That's a lot of moving parts, and every single one had to land right.
Here's what we were working with before: a functional but plain kitchen and hallway area with dated finishes and no real focal point. The wet bar wall existed, but it felt disconnected - nothing tied the space together. The hallway leading in was flat and forgettable. So we got to work on all of it at once.
The new window was a full framing job - you can see the rough opening being built out before the black-framed window unit went in. That one change alone pulled natural light into a space that really needed it. Paired with the textured geometric wallpaper running along the kitchen wall and into the bar area, the whole room started to breathe differently. The arched wall panel molding we added down the hallway took it from a pass-through to something you actually notice.
The quartz countertops on the island and perimeter give a clean, bright contrast against the deep espresso cabinetry. The trim work - crown molding, base molding, door casings - is what holds the whole kitchen remodeling job together. That's usually the stuff people don't notice until it's missing. When it's done right, everything just looks finished and intentional. The antique doors with the wrought iron glass inserts are the kind of detail that makes a space feel one-of-a-kind.
This is what a full interior renovation looks like when nothing gets skipped. Not just new countertops or a coat of paint - but a real, top-to-bottom rethink of how the space looks and feels. From the window framing to the final trim nail, we handled it all.
