✨ Designer Spotlight | National Remodeling Month ✨
For May and National Remodeling Month, we’re shining a spotlight on designer Jen Ranken of Frary Lumber and this beautiful kitchen transformation where beauty truly meets function.
The homeowner wanted a kitchen that reflected her personality — a brighter, more open space that felt welcoming and connected to the rest of the home. The original layout felt dark and enclosed, with limited functionality and storage.
Jen’s design solution centered around creating openness, warmth, and purposeful storage while making the kitchen feel like the heart of the home.
✨ Highlights of the remodel include:
• A large island with seating
• A decorative vent hood focal point
• Increased storage and organization
• Modern convenience features throughout
The combination of our Macadamia stain paired with Lily Pad accents brought warmth, character, and balance to the space while maintaining a fresh, inviting feel.
✔ Door Style: Waverly Maple with 5 piece drawer front
✔ Finishes: Macadamia and Lily Pad
Inside the cabinetry, thoughtful storage solutions include:
✔ Roll trays
✔ Hidden trash bins
✔ Upper & lower corner lazy Susans
✔ Vertical pull-out storage
✔ And more
“This project exemplifies the concept of beauty meets function!” — Jen Ranken
