Framingham, MA Project

When Ann & Sean sat down with us their number one priority was to open up the first floor plan. The existing space, which housed the kitchen & sitting area, was fairly sizable, but could be made to feel much larger with some modifications. They also wanted to make their dining room more accessible. Another desire was to completely change not only the look, but also the feel of the kitchen, making it a warmer, more inviting space, with higher grade appliances.

What developed from that and subsequent meetings were several changes to the existing floor plan. The elimination of a small hallway, as well as the partial removal of the wall between the dining room and kitchen opened up the space dramatically. Aiding that feeling was an added bump-out where a small window was removed & replaced with a much larger one. This enabled the client to place a sofa recessed into the space. The warmer look and traditional design was accomplished with a raised panel door in Cherry wood, incorporating several mullioned glass doors with beadboard on the back of the island and a decorative moulded baseboard to finish it off. The front foyer closet was reconfigured to eliminate a conflict between the front door and its door, as well as to use the space more effectively and allow for a larger opening into the adjacent family room.
