These homeowners of nearly 20 years wanted to maximize their living space. There were 4 doorways within the kitchen, a small eat-in area, and a formal dining room nearby.
They approached Bencar Building Systems at the suggestion of a co-worker and we were delighted to help them! We love kitchen remodels and any type of interior remodel work!
We met with them and reviewed our remodel process. We took pictures, notes, and measurements to send off to our designer at Bender Showroom in New Haven. To gain additional space, we widened one doorway and eliminated the pantry closet in the kitchen. We eliminated the doorway to the current dining room because the homeowners turned that into a tv room and the current tv room became the formal dining room.
Because there was never enough counter space, the homeowners had the cabinet countertop flow into the eat-in area with a continuous countertop! Bencar and Bender designed the base to match the cabinets and it looks amazing.
The cabinets are a Hanssem frameless cabinet with a Westbury door in cherry/cordovan and they come with matching fascia, crown, baseboard, and aprons.
The countertop is Beige Ornamental granite and was also supplied by Bender Showrooms in conjunction with East Stone in Stratford. The fabricators and installers are great to work with and we like having the cabinet designer in our corner to help coordinate different parts of the project.
Rounding out the materials is the flooring of Lager Badia which is a natural wood look tile but with the durability of porcelain tile in 6”x40” planks and the tile backsplash in Hillside Knoll brick.
We used Sherwin Williams paint in Aged Wine, Fragile Beauty, and Hornbeam for the various rooms remodeled.
