We loved working on this beautiful interior remodel in Park City! The homeowners had already taken steps to open up their space by removing a wall, but the kitchen remained small and lacked functionality. Our goal was to enhance flow, maximize storage, and create a home that was both beautiful and highly functional.
With a full kitchen transformation, reconfigured mudroom and laundry space, updated bedrooms, and sleek modern bathrooms, this home now feels fresh, cohesive, and designed for the homeowners' lifestyle. Let’s take a look at the incredible changes throughout this remodel.
Before the Remodel
Before the remodel, the homeowners had removed a dividing wall between their living room and kitchen and added a beam. While this helped open up the space, the kitchen remained small and lacked functionality. Storage was limited, and the space couldn’t accommodate full-sized appliances. The refrigerator had to be placed in the mudroom instead of the kitchen, making it inconvenient to access.
Kitchen and Living Room
Beyond expanding the kitchen, our goal was to create a functional space that met all of the homeowners’ needs. The original open-shelved pantry was awkwardly placed in the hallway. By pushing this wall out to meet up with the existing hallway wall, we gained extra square footage in the primary bathroom and provided more space for kitchen appliances and cabinetry. The kitchen also lacked sufficient counter space, a proper hood insert for the stove, and a dishwasher.
Now, a large island offers ample countertop space and storage, while panel-ready appliances seamlessly blend into the cabinetry. A custom plaster-textured range hood with a flush insert adds both character and a clean aesthetic. The entire space is tied together with a full tile backsplash in Desert White and Avenza Honed Pensil Quartz countertops for the perimeter and pantry, contrasted by a Metropolis Dark leathered finish on the island.
A standout feature in the dining area is the addition of a coffee closet, created by repurposing space that was previously occupied by an unnecessary door. This small but impactful addition enhances daily convenience, giving the homeowners a cozy nook for their morning routine and storage space that was much needed.
Mudroom & Laundry
Previously, the mudroom was a small space with no storage and a refrigerator. During the remodel, we removed the side door leading outside, walled off the opening, and removed the old deck. This door wasn’t needed since the dining room already had an exterior exit.
To maximize storage, we relocated the garage access door from the dining room into the mudroom, allowing us to build out a pantry and coffee bar into the garage space where the original access door had been. We then moved the garage entrance into the mudroom, rebuilding the landing and stairs to create a more natural flow throughout the home. The primary laundry was moved upstairs to the mudroom, making the space entirely functional for storage and organization.
To further optimize space, we installed a stacked LG laundry tower, custom Baltic birch cabinetry in an Olive finish, and a pocket door to improve flow.
Primary Bathroom
As mentioned earlier, we extended the primary bathroom by pushing out the hallway pantry wall. The extra square footage was used to replace the original tub and create a spacious double shower. We also removed the drop ceiling in the bathroom, taking advantage of the existing vaulted ceiling to create a taller, more open space. The shower now features a floor-to-ceiling tile design, making the room feel even larger. A full glass entrance adds to the modern, open aesthetic. The tile selections include white ceramic wall tile with a pencil edge finish and honed marble hexagon mosaic flooring, adding a luxurious touch.
Guest Bathroom / Hallway Bathroom
We refreshed the hallway bathroom while keeping costs down by repurposing the existing vanity, which was in great condition. To enhance the space, we updated the flooring to match the primary bathroom and installed timeless white tiles in a 2x20” offset pattern, giving the room a clean, modern look.
Bedrooms
While the bedroom layouts remained the same, they received much-needed updates. Fresh paint, new doors, updated trim, modern lighting fixtures, and new carpeting helped create a more inviting atmosphere. In the primary bedroom, we replaced the original open closets with a tripass door system for better functionality and removed an accent wall to widen the hallway and improve the flow of the space.
Balancing Budget and Quality
Every homeowner has unique priorities when it comes to their home and budgeting. This project is a great example of how we help clients balance high-end finishes with cost-saving solutions. For example:
Finishes & Cabinetry: The homeowners prioritized high-quality cabinetry, choosing a mix of rift white oak for the island and primary bath, Baltic birch for the kitchen drawers, and Simply White finishes throughout. This was an area where they chose to invest, ensuring durability and a timeless look.
Flooring: To save on materials, we repurposed the existing luxury vinyl plank (LVP) through the main floor. We were able to take sections of the LVP from the basement to match the upstairs for areas that needed to be patched, ensuring a seamless, budget-friendly solution.
Exterior: We replaced the existing exterior door with a full-light door and installed a detachable deck and stairs, giving the homeowners flexibility for future remodels. This deck was custom made for the purpose of moving it for future exterior remodels.
