Serious Question: How does your dining room look

Serious Question:

How does your dining room look after a holiday weekend? Cast your vote below!

1️⃣ Spotless and ready for the next gathering

2️⃣ Full of crafts (kids or other) and 1/2 finished projects that you lovingly shove aside every night to eat.

3️⃣ The table has disappeared under wrapping paper, board games, and leftovers no one will eat.

The heart of every hardworking kitchen is where st

The heart of every hardworking kitchen is where stories unfold, meals are shared, and memories are made.

Wishing you a joyful Thanksgiving! 🍁🍽️

The Chef's Zone 👩🏻‍🍳 Sometimes referre

The Chef's Zone 👩🏻‍🍳

Sometimes referred to as the "Kitchen Work Triangle," the space connecting the fridge, sink, and stove is a chef's most valuable real estate—especially during the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving meal prep! 🦃

In the kitchen seen in these photos, the zone is all on the inside of the island, but in some layouts, the sink or stove might be part of an island, forming the traditional triangle. Regardless the "shape" these three elements are usually not that far from each other but exceptions happen!

No matter the setup, any chef will tell you this is their sacred workspace. And on a busy cooking day like Thanksgiving, they'll kindly (or not-so-kindly!) remind you to steer clear of their zone.

If you're a chef who values your space, like and share this post—and let us know how you keep your zone to yourself!

*Creative kitchen storage*

When it comes to kitchen renovations, balancing natural light and storage is key! For this project, we maximized storage without sacrificing the charm of small windows by installing cabinets on either side of the stove.

Instead of full-height cabinets, we opted for vertical lift doors that fit seamlessly into the design. These cabinets are perfect for storing tall boxes or commonly used cooking ingredients, keeping everything within reach while maintaining an open and airy feel. Swipe ➡ to see what we mean.

Creative solutions like this can transform a kitchen into a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

Thank you @houzz for the recent feature about "Fashionable and Functional Curbless Showers" featuring one of our barrier-free shower entry renovations.

"J.P. Hoffman Design Build rejiggered the layout in this relaxing and luxurious Needham, Massachusetts, primary bathroom to create an airy arrangement with a curbless shower and freestanding tub. White Venatino marble tiles run in a herringbone pattern on the floor. Sky blue fish scale tiles accent the shower head wall and two niches. Fixtures in a luxe gold finish add touches of warmth."

Are you debating whether to remove or add a wall b

Are you debating whether to remove or add a wall between the kitchen and an adjacent room?

In this Colonial kitchen and first-floor renovation, we did both—and gained a mudroom in the process.

Here's what we did:
1. Added a small wall to block the hallway from the garage to the kitchen, creating space for a tall pantry (photo 5).
2. Removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room (photos 2–5).

Building the new wall allowed for additional kitchen cabinet space and a better entryway/mudroom on the garage/powder room side (photo 6).

The last two images are stripped-down blueprint screenshots to illustrate these changes: red lines show modifications to come on the "as-built" (pre-demo), and the blue lines on the final image highlight the new wall separating the kitchen from the new mudroom.

Thinking about a similar change in your home? Let us know if you’d like to explore options for reimagining your space!

Our kids have been asking a lot of awesome Veteran

Our kids have been asking a lot of awesome Veteran Day questions. Thanks to family members like Megan’s brother and stories passed down from all 4 of Jason and Megan’s grandfathers, we’re so grateful for the real life examples of bravery and patriotism to share with our kids.

Today, we salute the courageous men and women who’ve served our country with honor. Our gratitude extends to veterans among our clients, collaborators, friends, and family members, whose dedication reminds us of the cost of freedom. Your service means everything, and today we simply want to say:

thank you.

Ready to start a renovation project but not sure where to actually, well - start?

Should you consider a Design Build team?

Here, we breakdown what that actually means and how our team at J.P. Hoffman Design Build guides clients through 7 distinct Phases. ➡

Answer a few easy questions at www.jphdesignbuild.com/contact to get started!

Solid answers to the below questions are a must be

Solid answers to the below questions are a must before hiring a remodeling contractor…

5️⃣ Are you licensed and insured?
This is essential to ensure that the contractor meets legal requirements and that both you and they are protected in case of accidents or damages.

4️⃣ Can you provide references and examples of recent projects?
Viewing previous projects and speaking with past clients provides insight into the quality of work and client satisfaction.

3️⃣ What is the payment schedule, and how do you handle changes to the contract?
Clarifying the payment timeline and understanding the process for change orders keeps your project financially transparent and helps avoid unexpected expenses.

2️⃣ How is the project managed day-to-day?
Knowing who will be at your home and who will oversee the project helps ensure quality and accountability.

1️⃣ ⭐️What does your process look like, from design through completion? (The most important)
Asking about their full process ensures that you understand each stage of the project, from the initial design phase through to the final touches, for a well-coordinated experience.

⭐️As a full-service Design Build firm, we work with clients form concept to completion, overseeing every aspect of the project, providing all labor and materials while also recruiting and overseeing a qualified team of subcontractors and specialty trades.

❓What questions would you add to the list? Let us know and we’ll do our best to answer below ⬇️

Our kitchen most certainly DOES NOT look like this

Our kitchen most certainly DOES NOT look like this after Halloween yesterday! Instead, picture jack-o’-lanterns 🎃 candy wrappers 🍬 and dishes not yet cleaned. So worth it for an awesome night. 👻

Project: swipe right to see where we started in this kitchen. Not a huge kitchen layout change but significant enough to open space to the dining room and let in plenty of natural light. #jphwestwood

Can you spot what's unique about this bathroom remodel?

...No shower door! The shower is located in an alcove of the primary bathroom. In their forever home, our clients wanted to think long term. To make it aging-in-place and mobility-friendly, we opted for a linear drain at the shower entrance and left the door off, creating a seamless, curbless entry.

Swipe to see a couple of before photos of this space!

With plenty of floor space, we couldn’t understand why the kitchen was tucked into a corner—so tight that a modern refrigerator couldn’t even fit and had to be placed in a back closet, creating a hassle for homeowners who love to cook and entertain.

So, we reimagined the layout, turning the oversized dining room into an expansive kitchen with a large island and ample space for appliances.

We *almost* caved and fired up the fireplace last night… but we’re holding out (for now)! It’s that time of year when the big question is: is it really fireplace weather yet? Unless, of course, you’ve been fueling your nightly fire since September… we see you, cozy couch-dwellers. Your commitment to comfort is next level!” 🔥🍂

3 Highlights from this Primary Suite Addition:

⭐ Ensuite Upgrade: The new primary bathroom is now connected to the primary bedroom, replacing the previous shared Jack-and-Jill bathroom setup with the guest room.

⭐ Functional Breezeway: A newly added breezeway now serves as both a mudroom and powder room, providing direct access from the garage to the house—a feature that didn't exist before.

⭐ Increased Home Value: We added a second full bathroom on the second floor, enhancing convenience and boosting the home’s value.

At J.P. Hoffman Design Build, we strive to maximize your existing space, but sometimes an expansion is the key to solving layout challenges. How can we help you transform your home? Whether it’s within or beyond the current footprint, we’ve got you covered.

September is always a special month for us—filled with celebrations, from Jason’s and our son’s birthdays to both our work and wedding anniversaries. Plus- we got to meet the newest member of the family in our sweet newborn baby nephew.

As the month comes to a close, we’re also reflecting on some exciting things happening around here. We’re wrapping up a kitchen remodel in Canton, making progress on our own office bathroom addition, and gearing up for new kitchen and bathroom remodels, plus an exciting primary suite addition. We also can’t wait to reveal our new branding photos.
