Islands: Not Just for Kitchens Anymore

Project Overview

Challenge:

After living with their dated and cramped kitchen for five years, this Lancaster homeowner wanted to transform it into a standout space in their home. The tight and closed in layout of the room was the biggest priority, so our team redesigned the space from its core.

Design:

We started our remodel by making their cramped kitchen into a spacious one, removing a coat closet and reorganizing their cabinetry layout to be slimmer. Despite the newfound space, the challenge remained to find a way to place an island, as their kitchen was still too small to comfortably fit one. Working with the homeowner, our designers came up with the exciting solution to place it outside of the kitchen, bordering the living room, making for an entirely new flow and creative space.

Build:

Once the design process was settled, our team immediately got to work preparing the kitchen for the build. Alongside the structural changes to the layout, we put in new flooring, taller ceilings, dual pantries, and even a new fireplace. The result is a room that is spacious, exciting, and like no other kitchen!

“We began this project at the height of the pandemic in September 2020 and completed it before the holidays. I was impressed by the crew’s protocol safety and ability to meet tight deadlines. The team worked with me, allowing me to be directly involved throughout the process. It was a very good partnership with Lenton Company and a tremendous success.”
