What Kitchen Countertop Color Should You Choose?

Jason Hoffman in Bridgewater, MA on Houzz

Recently, one of our kitchen projects was selected as a highlight photo for an article written on Houzz.com. We are honored it was featured on such an important topic – COUNTERTOPS!

In the article, titled “What Kitchen Countertop Color Should You Choose?” the author (and Principal Designer) Yanic Simard of Toronto Interior Design Group brings readers through a variety of considerations and color options when selecting a kitchen countertop. There are literally hundreds of options when it comes to countertops. Most options filter into a few main categories like: marble, granite, quartz or wood. Yanic breaks down of few popular options ranging from pure white with crisp and modern lines, to the warm tones of a wood top or a butcher block option. In addition to kitchen surfaces, the same principles apply with bathrooms or other spaces.

The photo highlighted in the article is from our South Shore Kitchen and 1st Floor Remodel project in Kingston, MA. Through our thorough design and product selection process, these clients selected a beautiful, classic, yet modern white quartz called Calacatta Laza. It has dramatic, but subtle movement, with a white background and gray/soft brown veining. When assisting clients through the product selection phase, our team guides and directs homeowners through open communication and detailed transparency. Through our preferred vendor partnerships, we connect homeowners with knowledgeable and trained countertop specialists. We set up appointments at the slab showrooms to see the aforementioned color and “movement” in person. Photos just don’t do it justice, and with a major selection like countertops – color, texture and details are critical to the overall feel of the room.

Our team recently started a new remodel in Norfolk Our team recently started a new remodel in Norfolk, MA. 

A multi-scope project, we've designed a renovation that both fits the style of the home and our client's "wants and needs lists." Our Design Build process starts at that initial conversation. Usually huddled around the dining room table, talking about the existing pain points and potential solutions. Our design here, takes a typical New England Colonial layout and flips it on its side. We're literally flipping the spaces in the house, relocating the kitchen, dining room and powder room. Oh - and adding a mudroom/coat closest which was on the "wants list."

For our clients - a working family with 4 young children - the form, flow and function in the new space will serve that "needs list" and achieve most items on the "wants list." The cherry on top? - the Farmer's Porch our clients once thought only a dream. 

Follow along in the "Norfolk Reno" highlight. Today, I shared footage of the existing space and walked through the plans, painting a picture of what our team is set out to accomplish.

We're gearing up for tomorrow night's PRO New Engl We're gearing up for tomorrow night's PRO New England Awards Gala with a throwback photo. Last year, we won a Gold Medal Award for this amazing kitchen transformation. By knocking down the wall between the kitchen and sitting room, we expanded the dark U-shape kitchen into a modern, classic and beautiful space. We installed a large island, moved and upgraded windows and custom built and installed a beautiful window bench for a breakfast nook/homework space.

SNEEK PEEK HERE: 
Our carpentry team knocked down two walls in this kitchen. One was separating the kitchen and adjacent laundry room. By relocating the laundry room to the primary bathroom - we gained a larger kitchen footprint, allowing space for another window, an island, additional storage and countertop space, as well as, wall space for a double oven (well...speed oven on top). 

The 2nd wall that came down allowed for easy flow between the kitchen and dining room. When hosting, don't you want to feel part of the group? But yet - you also need to be in the kitchen? This design solution allows for enough room to cook and prep in the kitchen. But yet - the new, wide open space to the dining room, allows guests to get a drink from the new bar area and congregate in the dining room, rather than crowd your kitchen, prep area. All while still involving anyone working in the kitchen.

"We're just being carpenters." When I asked Jaso "We're just being carpenters." 

When I asked Jason to explain what he and Lead Carpenter Todd were doing in our Walpole kitchen project, he took a second to respond and then replied with the above. 

Let me explain: Our team took this home's kitchen (and some neighboring rooms) down to the studs. We added space with an addition off the rear of the house, allowing for the marriage of old and new. The new layout increases form, flow and function for a young family in their most used room in the home - the kitchen. 

But installing the wide plank, pine floors, in the new space, is a story in itself. 

It started at the saw mill - with Jason hand selecting the raw, wide plank boards that would be installed in the new space. As carpenters, Todd, Jason and Carpenter’s Apprentice Sam, got to work, milling, planing and sanding. Followed by gluing, setting and nailing each board into place. Is as if they knew where each board needed to be. 

The mission? Honoring the character of the home our clients asked us to save. 

The process? A carpenter's skill, creativity and intuition. 

The results? Fulfillment of our duty to the craft. And the transfer of old information to the next generation.

Our clients wanted something unique and different, with a coastal feel for their guest bathroom. A place for grandkids and family to recharge after a summer day at the beach. I just love the vibrancy of the blue hex tile!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY! I (Megan) have had the privileg FLASHBACK FRIDAY!

I (Megan) have had the privilege of participating in Pro New England's monthly, Women in Residential Remodeling discussions. "This group is made up of professional women who work in the remodeling industry and serve to inspire, motivate, and educate each other through a safe and supportive space for learning and laughter," (excerpt from our Mission Statement).

This photo was taken last fall, during the annual Women in Residential Remodeling Conference. I had the good fortune of co-leading the presentation and conversation around values and merging what is personal to us - into our businesses. Knowing our values, personally and/or professionally acts as a beacon and helps create our Ideal Self and desired future. It was such a fun day, supporting and inspiring each other.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT! Check out this Calm, Luxury, P PROJECT HIGHLIGHT!

Check out this Calm, Luxury, Primary Bathroom retreat in Needham, MA. Swipe right to see where we started and the link in our bio for the entire project - And don't forget the story highlight: "Needham Baths+"

In this before and after - by removing the toilet room, we gained valuable floor space for a stand along soaker tub, our client's #1 request. Paired with marble tile, high quality finishes and intentional craftsmanship, the end product is a spa-like retreat, welcoming for busy, working parents looking for a place to relax.
