Design Series: The Light and Bright Kitchen at Greenwood

Design, Remodel, Spaces

Everything in the Greenwood house kitchen was original to its 1960s build—right down to the appliances, floors, and cabinets. While the layout was surprisingly open for its time, the space lacked natural light and modern functionality. We’re reimagining this kitchen from the ground up, opening walls to create better flow, adding light, and incorporating custom design touches that blend classic charm with contemporary style. From custom shaker cabinets to a stunning granite island, this bright kitchen renovation is setting the tone for the entire open-concept living space.

Updating a never-remodeled 1960s home means the bathrooms are a top priority—and we’re in the thick of it now! In the existing master, we’re reworking the layout to create a more functional space, complete with a freestanding soaker tub and statement shower tile. The hallway bath is getting a much-needed refresh, including a new drop-in tub and a better-sized vanity. Meanwhile, we’re transforming a sunken bonus room into a master suite with a powder room. With brass accents, bold tile choices, and custom white oak vanities, each space is coming together beautifully!

How to Budget for a Kitchen Renovation

Remodel, Spaces

So, budgeting for a kitchen renovation? Expect to shell out around 25% more than you thought! Prioritize what matters most—like appliances and cabinets—and don’t hesitate to cut back where you can. Our final cost breakdown had appliances at 33% and cabinets at 26%. We scored some great deals by shopping around, especially for stone. DIYing labor saved us cash too, avoiding that 10-15% general contractor fee. Just a heads up, it took about three and a half months from demo to finish, so plan your time too! In the end, totally worth it!
