Warm and Sophisticated Modern Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel

Relaxed, calm, and casual are a few ways to describe this modern farmhouse kitchen remodel. When Jeanna Letzring of Pinnacle Interior Designs took on this project, it was quite dated and drastically in need of an update. This kitchen transformation would take a lot of work, but in the end, proved to be more than her clients had ever dreamed of.

Starting out, the kitchen remodel seemed to be a challenge. The original kitchen had golden oak arched raised panel doors, a narrow island, soffits above the wall cabinets, and outdated finishes. Jeanna’s clients had a tall wish list which included removing soffits, bringing white wall cabinets to the ceiling, a wood kitchen hood, a microwave in the island, and more. All of this was in addition to transitioning the home’s style to modern farmhouse. 

Jeanna talked more in depth about the design challenges: “Since we weren’t moving or removing walls, which is rare for us, we had the challenge of making an impact without changing the location of appliances. This makes the budget hard because you are still doing a major remodel, with a hefty price tag. We wanted to make sure we had more storage and a bigger island. Clients agreed and trusted us to reinvent their space”.  

CliqStudios designer, Minda Sphatt, worked with Jeanna. Together, they created drawings that helped visualize the new kitchen design in Signature Plus’s Newport door style in Lily and Chai, which helped Jeanna and her clients make concrete decisions. Convenient upgrades were added like a pull-out trash cabinet, roll-out trays, and a built-in microwave base. 

Jeanna talked about the design process with CliqStudios and said Minda “Created renderings of our space we submitted and brought our ideas to life while also making sure we had finished ends, shoe molding, etc. We worked as a team to make revisions and make sure the client was very happy with the function, price, and look”. 

Minda said working with Pinnacle Interior Designs is always seamless- “They know what they want and they're always so organized”. This certainly made big decisions much easier to tackle.
