At J&J Construction, we love helping homeowners bring their vision to life. One Aurora family came to us with a request to merge their separate kitchen and dining areas, creating an expansive, open-concept kitchen perfect for modern living. The transformation involved removing a dividing wall and adding French doors to connect the kitchen to the front sitting room, resulting in a bright and welcoming space.
A Kitchen Designed for Everyday Living and Entertaining
Today’s families need versatile kitchen spaces that accommodate everything from quick breakfasts to hosting gatherings. This redesigned kitchen features a spacious island that serves as a meal prep station, dining spot, and entertainment hub all in one.
The island, painted in Hale Navy, is topped with durable HanStone Montauk Quartz, offering a stunning contrast to the crisp Simply White cabinetry. The backsplash, a Lunada Bay Sonare Shooting Star tile in Pearl Tone, enhances the space with a subtle shimmer that pairs beautifully with stainless steel appliances.
Elegant Cabinetry and Functional Storage
We installed Woodharbor Breeze cabinets in the Forest Park door style, a favorite for modern kitchens. The top drawers feature a sleek slab design, while the lower drawers have a Manor Flat style, adding dimension to the space. Soft-close hinges ensure a quiet and smooth experience, making them ideal for busy households.
A standout feature is the lattice-design bar nook, which includes a built-in wine refrigerator. The addition of traditional crown molding enhances the cabinetry, giving the space a polished and refined look.
High-End Fixtures and Flooring
The kitchen sink area features a stainless steel Kohler undermount sink, paired with a polished chrome Purist faucet—an architectural fixture inspired by professional kitchens. This combination ensures durability and efficiency.
The original hardwood floors showed significant wear, so we replaced them with 3 ¼” oak hardwood in a warm Fruitwood stain. Hardwood remains a popular choice for kitchens due to its timeless appeal and ability to create a seamless transition between adjacent rooms.
Thoughtful Lighting and Architectural Enhancements
To complete the space, the homeowners selected stunning Kohler Artifacts light fixtures, including adjustable pendants over the sink, a five-light chandelier over the island, and a three-light chandelier above the dining table. These fixtures add elegance and ambiance to the space.
One of the most striking updates was the installation of French doors, creating a smooth transition between the kitchen and front sitting room. We also reconfigured the window placement, installing a brand-new window to enhance natural light and improve functionality.
Powder Room Refresh for a Cohesive Design
As part of this renovation, we also transformed the homeowner’s powder room to reflect the same sophisticated style as the kitchen. The space features a Kohler rectangular sink, a polished chrome faucet, and a Kohler Highline chair-height toilet with a dual flush system. To maintain design cohesion, we installed Hale Navy Woodharbor Breeze cabinetry and topped it with the same quartz countertop as the kitchen.
This project is a perfect example of how thoughtful design choices can enhance both beauty and functionality. If you’re ready to reimagine your kitchen or bath, contact J&J Construction to start your journey toward a dream space!
