This Kitchen renovation was almost bigger than it needed to be

2024-10-02T11:02:54-04:00

We took a hard left from the original plan... We were hired to design and build a single story kitchen addition off the back of New England Colonial. Shortly after he got started on the design process, J.P. Hoffman Design Build Owner, CEO and Lead Designer Jason Hoffman pumped the brakes. He quickly realized that an addition was probably unnecessary when there was existing space on the 1st floor not being utilized to it's potential. That sounds like a house pep talk but it's true. In design conversations with our clients, he agreed that yes, the current galley style kitchen was not working for their family of 5 and growing teenagers who like to have friends over and hang out in the kitchen (smart kids). He also recognized that the formal dining room (being used as a playroom and home gym) would make the ideal new home of the

Swapping Floor Plans – Kitchen & Dining Room

2023-05-04T09:53:10-04:00

“Wait, show me that again” said our photographer Lara when I showed her the before photo of the entry way of our latest project. She, and many others who see this transformation, are in disbelief about the floor plan modifications we made to this Greater Boston home in Stoughton, MA. The Kitchen Island has replaced the Peloton Bike that used to be in the same space. See how we swapped the kitchen and dining room.  Our Client's Backstory and Floor Plan Dilemma  Built in the mid-1990’s by our client’s family, this colonial was now home to the 3rd generation. The original kitchen was built by our client’s father and had seen years of family meals and holiday entertainment. Our clients called us because the space and flow was no longer working for their family of five. The galley kitchen off the back of

Bathroom of the Week Feature on Houzz – Spa Feel with Marble and Airy layout

2022-07-27T16:16:56-04:00

We're honored once again, to have been selected by the Editors at Houzz.com as a Bathroom of the Week feature! Coincidently, we wrote about last year's highlight, exactly one year ago today, on July 27, 2021. See our Easton Primary Bathroom feature here. This time, our Luxury Primary Bathroom remodel in Needham was selected as Bathroom of the Week! Contributor Jeannie Matteucci interviewed Jason and myself to hear about our Design Build process and the inspiration behind the complete, bathroom overhaul. Unique elements help this bathroom stand out. From the large tub niche, to the scallop glass tile, and the custom designed double vanity with 100% usable storage (no faux drawers), this design stemmed from many conversations with our clients. We heard the pain points and wish list. As Jason mentioned in the interview, the caliber of this home was not meet with the previous Primary Bathroom. Our team

Classic Cohasset Kitchen Renovation

2022-05-26T14:28:54-04:00

See how this outdated Shore Shore home completely transformed into a classic, New England home, fit for the coastal, Massachusetts town of Cohasset. Our team designed and remodeled this tired and poorly laid out, stand-alone home, to a classic, modern, coastal retreat, for a wonderful couple. We are proud of this whole-home renovation. More of which can be seen in our portfolio here. This post highlights the kitchen and neighboring spaces: powder room, dining room and living room. As with all projects, once we've been hired, a design contract has been signed, and retainer collected, we get to work on the Design and Scope Development phase. We carefully measure each room and input the data into our design software. Through previous conversations, Jason notes pain points, wish list items, architectural details and future possibilities, as well as building code allowances. We're able to produce 3D renderings, sharing with our clients,

Kitchen & 1st Floor Remodel – Westwood –

2022-01-13T14:15:04-05:00

Part of a larger, whole home renovation in Westwood, this post highlights the final, first floor renovation including: kitchen, dining room and play room remodels. See progress blog posts here and here. A typical Cape style home, this house was built in 1954. Our clients purchased the home and hired us right away to re-imagine the space suitable for a growing family. In an effort to open up the floor plan, we relocated the existing downstairs bathroom, to the newly added mudroom space (more on that in a different post). This opened up the floor plan, connecting the kitchen to the 2 rooms on the 1st floor. One to be used as an office and the other, a play room. We also removed part of the wall separating the kitchen and dining room, allowing natural light to flood in from the dining room, to an otherwise, dark kitchen. We also added

Cozy Farmhouse update

2020-11-19T16:04:55-05:00

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT - 1850 FARMHOUSE INTERIOR RENOVATIONS One of oldest homes we’ve had the pleasure to work on, this 1850 South Shore farmhouse, located in Middleboro, MA, needed some interior renovations after a water leak on the second floor. Not only did the water damage impact the two bedrooms on the second floor, but also the first floor guest room. After the homeowner shared his vision with us, we got to work bringing it to reality. What resulted are three unique spaces, designed and crafted with timeless appreciation. The two second floor bedrooms are identical in size - one located on each side of the staircase landing. Used as kid's bedrooms, we took advantage of the sloped ceilings and installed shiplap for fun character. The white paint brings a modern feel to an old space. Do you

Video Tour, Before and After Kitchen and 1st Floor Renovation

2020-08-28T16:56:48-04:00

Are you a visual person? Take a virtual tour with us as we documented the major milestones of this kitchen and 1st floor renovation project in West Bridgewater. We took a dark and "small" kitchen as the homeowners thought, and expanded the space to include their dream island and a custom breakfast nook. We even relocated a bathroom/laundry room to gain additional square footage. In the process, we added a closet next to the mudroom. We walk through each phase of the renovation - driven by the 5 design goals our team committed to achieving. We've included some design renderings as well as the before photos and video of these spaces. Plus some progress updates with an overview from our Owner and lead project designer and carpenter, Jason Hoffman. We even take you into our workshop as Jason created the custom breakfast nook benches. The photos, snapped by Tamara Flanagan
