  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   Having a space for their teenage kids to hang out after school, study and interact with Mom & Dad was at the top of the list for this remodel. The 1928 home, sits in a lovely Glen Ellyn neighborhood, near downtown and near all the action of the local high school and lake. It’s was a great house with great bones but the kitchen was in need of some TLC. The remodel project had been a long time coming, and since both the homeowners work from home, they had been nervous about disrupting their bustling daily schedules to get the project in motion. Once we had a plan in place, we dug in and got to work. The first step was to remove a non-load bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room. We then reworked the space a bit, eliminating a redundant passage way to the hall, and reworking a closet to allow for a large galley style kitchen and small bar area open to the dining room. The new kitchen has a small peninsula for the family to have casual meals and for the kids to hang out after school. A window was eliminated to give more space for cabinetry and storage, and another window was made larger to allow for a grander view into the backyard. We decided upon a layered approach to this space to provide character appropriate to the older home. White painted cabinetry provides a backdrop for interesting touches such as gray herringbone tile, a reeded farmhouse sink and bronze hardware and lighting. The bar has its own unique look featuring gray cabinetry with a patterned cement tile backsplash and walnut top. A bar fridge, glass cabinets and baskets for tucking away homework give this little multi-functional area loads of character. A miniature mudroom area was also added to the dining room so that the new space can be kept neat and tidy. The stylish result looks both appropriate to the 1928 home and provides loads of functionality for this active family that can now take advantage of every square inch their home.

The Living Room is very connected to the outdoor spaces in this rural setting. It is approached off the entry hall by a small flight of formal steps.

This cheerful room adds a boho flair with its custom bed design, custom study design and ample natural light. the pink accent wall, matching furnishings and other decor elements create a dollhouse like effect in this girl's bedroom. The rainbow colors in the furnishings, girl's toys, books, decor elements and artwork are a welcome note to contrast the pink hue and wooden flooring.

The concept of kids room revolved around breaking the monotony of a simple study table and cabinet with a bold shape – circle. We got inspired with anamorphic projections and the shape was projected on the entire study. The pink color was specifically chosen by their 5 year daughter herself, to suit all her accessories. The bed side hanging light is a fun origami lamp to go with vibe of the space and the wardrobe is a plush white pu painted wardrobe thus making the room look light and big.
