This kitchen means so much to me.
What used to be a small, closed-off space is now open, warm, and made for gathering. We took down walls and completely reimagined how this family lives in their home.
The wife loves to cook and hosts quite often, so we designed it to function beautifully. Two sinks (one in the island and one along the back wall), solid hickory cabinets, brass fixtures, and Taj Mahal countertops that just glow against those rich wood tones brought this space together beautifully.
The tea area was something they really wanted to feel different, so I designed custom door details, cabinet hardware, hand painted tiles, and glass doors to showcase her tea pot collection to set it apart. Travis Holt with Holt Custom Cabinets brought every single detail to life exactly as envisioned. He truly listened to it all.
Scott Henley with Henley Construction and Development Inc. handled the construction and transformed the flow of this home in the best way.
The dining table and stools were chosen by them, Amish-made and custom designed just for their big family. And so many of the pieces you see... the fireplace accents, the clock...they all are meaningful heirlooms. She didn’t want just newly purchased décor. She wanted the pieces to have significance. It all came together in a way that just feels layered, warm, and deeply personal.
Professional photos coming soon of the entire first floor renovation and primary bathroom. Mike Hensley with Johnson City Aerial Photography captured it beautifully today, and I cannot wait to share more.
