In this renovation, there was a transformation from the original to complete renovation, plus a full addition over the garage.

Kitchen Magic was asked to create a functional kitchen for this wheelchair bound homeowner who lived alone and had struggled with inaccessible space for many years and was greatly limited when working in the kitchen.

Problem: An outdated 1980’s family room with an awkward rounded fireplace with ineffective storage using up an entire wall in the room, has two entrances which divide the room in half.

A 50’s sensibility is modernized with a clean-lined contemporary look – making a young couple’s dream kitchen wishes come true.

Two wide entrances and a railing that was limiting traffic flow became awkward and unbalanced for our client who spent very little time in this cozy family room. To make matters worse, storage was non-existent, the furniture was bulky and the room felt like it was closing in on them. An oversized open corner mantle on the heavy oak fire place looked out of place and off scale. Our clients wanted a space that they could come home from work, relax, and spend more time with family and entertain friends.

Bathroom Magic always delivers what the customer wants. We completely renovated this residential bath by replacing the existing cabinetry, countertops, floors and shower.

We were able to join together a classic bathtub with a nouveau vanity in this bathroom renovation. The addition of a two-person shower completed the look.

The room to be remodeled was a dated one, with only a single entry door and an old window providing light for the room. We installed new French doors, along the entire wall, allowing access to a beautiful deck with stunning views.

A smaller room required more light. We added a showpiece wall with 7 windows and a round window on the top of the side addition. Allowed for more light and better views.

A work in progress is what we discovered when our clients hired us to transform this partially finished basement into an extended entertainment area.

When it comes to seeking a sleek, yet still traditional design, this kitchen has got it hands down. New cherry wood flooring and some glam with the glass backsplash. The colors have so much warmth and elegance that they don’t even have to add accessories. The complete kitchen remodel was inclusive of the installation of all new custom cabinets, maintenance free doors, drawers, over-sized island and crown molding and feature new countertops in Silestone quartz stone.

This Manhattan project entailed a design transformation and complete gut renovation of a 2,400 sq. ft., 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment, with a new enlarged kitchen including 2-tiered room lighting, central air-conditioning, new windows, and a built-in music system.

Blending the Old with the New. This kitchen is a beautiful example of transitional design at its best, by keeping the original island cabinets that were done in a traditional shaker style and then bringing in new modern glass and white matte painted cabinets from Merit Kitchens it is a seem less mix of the two styles.
