Project Overview

For this newly engaged couple, their kitchen wasn’t just about functionality but about recreating a feeling. After getting engaged at a beautiful restaurant in Turkey, they dreamed of bringing the warmth, texture, and timeless design of that moment into their everyday life here in the Sedgefield neighborhood.

We worked closely with them to transform their home by expanding their kitchen into what was once a screen porch, breaking down walls, and opening up the space for natural light and connection. Every design decision was made with intention and care, from the rich brown island cabinetry and wooden open shelves to the mirror backsplash at the bar, creating a subtle nod to the reflective, moody architecture they loved overseas.

The kitchen features Calacatta Agra Quartz countertop, classic White Shaker Cabinetry, and Charcoal Grey Shaker Cabinetry for added depth. Together, these elements created a space that feels layered, warm, and deeply personal with a daily reminder of their story, now rooted in the heart of their home.

This kitchen renovation and addition was part of a master bathroom renovation upstairs, created to better fit their needs!

Challenges & Solutions

Challenge One

Coordinating design decisions between two fiancés living in different parts of the world with one here in Charlotte and the other overseas had created a unique challenge. Timely decisions were critical to keep the project moving, but aligning on selections they would both love added an extra layer of complexity.

Solution One

We adapted our process by working individually with each of them by gathering input, refining ideas, and staying flexible. For key design moments, we brought them together to collaborate and finalize decisions. This allowed us to keep the project moving efficiently while ensuring the final design reflected both of their visions.

Challenge Two

One of the unknowns in this project was removing the existing header between the old kitchen and dining room. During the design phase and in our renderings, we weren’t certain if this wall would be load-bearing, which would have impacted the ceiling design and required additional structural work.

Solution Two

Once we opened up the space during demolition, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the wall wasn’t load-bearing. This allowed us to remove the header entirely and create a smooth, seamless ceiling transition between the kitchen and dining area, enhancing the open-concept feel and bringing even more light into the space.
