‘Tis the Season--Kitchen Before and After

Hello Beautiful!

I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Holiday Season 🎅and an amazing start to your New Year ❤️ 

Even though everyone’s thinking “Holiday Season”…we, over here at Jane Antonovich Designs, are wrapping up KITCHEN SEASON!!!! 

We have completed 4 total kitchen re-dos this summer/fall! And the results are STUNNING--

Kitchen #1 is highlighted below… 

BEFORE:

Challenges:

• The cabinets were dark and dated--the insides of the cabinets/cupboards were also not functioning up to their potential
• The wood felt heavy and the jagged cabinet line at the ceiling created an unstable feeling 
• The floors were a brown patchwork of tile--hard, cold and unfriendly 
• The backsplash and counter, coordinating with the floor tile, also carried the harsh and dark feeling through the kitchen
• A general low energy feeling in this space

AFTER:

• Modern, updated cabinet style and color--clean lines
• Cabinets all the way up to the ceiling eliminating that “chi trap” (place where energy gets stuck) between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling
• Reflective tile, a combination of glass, marble and mirrors, gives that OTHER stuck spot between the cabinets and the counters some zip! 
• Taking the tile all the way up behind the hood gives a much more expansive feeling to the space.
• New flooring throughout the entire first floor gives a cohesive feeling and balances the gray (metal energy) cabinets with a good amount of beautiful light wood. 
• Light colored, durable countertops, new sink and faucets
• A beautiful ceiling color (light pink) connects the kitchen and dining spaces and adds sweetness to the “all business” kitchen.
• Replacing the lights with pendants that also coordinate to the dining light--sorry you can’t see, you’ll just have to take my word for it 😂
• In general, this space has been elevated, and balanced in both beauty and function--it feels amazing to BE in this kitchen, doesn’t it?

Results:
Our clients can’t believe that, even with basically the “same” layout, there’s SO MUCH MORE storage and functionality--drawer dividers, knife block insert, spice pullout, a deep drawer dedicated to smoothie items, a built-in bookshelf for cookbooks at the end of the peninsula, tray dividers, pullout shelving for easy access--EVERYTHING custom created to suit their needs and desires. 

This is truly a dream kitchen for our clients--they are ‘over-the-moon’ happy with the results and the way their new and improved kitchen serves as a beautiful heart of their home. 

All of a sudden, entertaining, family meals and hanging out cooking has become enjoyable and flows smoothly and happily--ALL supported by the new upgraded kitchen space.

***It took us a while to find them, but we are so lucky to partner with THE BEST Custom Cabinet/Countertop team in the Madison area! We LOVE it when we find such AMAZING support for our work. (We also have the best contractors, painters and wallpaper hangers--so lucky)***

Is there an upgraded kitchen in your future? If so, or even if you want to discuss the possibility, let me know--I would be more than happy to jump on the phone with you!

Lots of Love and Ho Ho Ho!!!!
XOXO
