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.

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

In addition to updating the kitchen and main floor, a large master suite above the garage was completed with an ensuite bath and custom cabinetry.

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. The room is now warm, yet sleek – transformed with the an elegant yet durable material -- Corian®! The beautiful results speak for themselves.

Incorporated old world charm with new appliances and new cabinets.

How we turned an old kitchen into a bright airy living space.
