PROJECT OVERVIEW
A Nature-Inspired Modern Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel
When Tina and Kyle decided it was time to remodel their kitchen, they knew they needed a space that was not only functional but also reflected their personal style and love for nature. With two young kids and a passion for baking, Tina wanted a kitchen that would inspire her to spend more time creating delicious treats while enjoying the view of their garden. The result? A stunning modern farmhouse kitchen remodel by Pottstown Construction Company, a leading general contractor in Pottstown, PA, designed in collaboration with Bonae Interiors.
In this project spotlight, we’ll take you through the journey of this high-end kitchen remodel, from the initial vision to the final reveal. Along the way, we’ll highlight the unique features, challenges, and the incredible teamwork that brought this dream kitchen to life.
The Problem: A Dated Kitchen and Unused Breezeway
The homeowners, Tina and Kyle, were faced with two main issues in their home. First, the kitchen was outdated and didn’t meet their needs as a young, busy family. Tina, an avid baker, found the space uninspiring and impractical for her culinary adventures. Second, the breezeway connecting the garage to the house was underutilized, leaky, and not conditioned for heating or cooling.
Tina envisioned transforming the breezeway into a cozy book nook, complete with a large window for natural light and a functional coat and shoe organizer. This space would also serve as the family’s primary entrance, making it both beautiful and practical.
The Vision: A Modern Farmhouse Kitchen with a Touch of Nature
The primary goal of this remodel was to create a space that felt uniquely theirs—a modern farmhouse kitchen that was both beautiful and functional. Tina wanted a bright, airy kitchen that showcased the natural beauty of their backyard garden. The design needed to incorporate plenty of natural light, earthy textures, and a seamless connection to the outdoors.
The vision extended to the breezeway, which would become a charming book nook with a large window, allowing the family to enjoy the view of their garden while indulging in their love of reading.
From Vision to Blueprint: Kyle’s Kitchen Cabinets Plans That Made It Happen
Every successful remodel starts with a solid plan, and for this project, Kyle took the lead in designing a layout that would transform the kitchen cabinets into a space that was both functional and inviting. From the beginning, he focused on maximizing storage, improving workflow, and making the kitchen a natural gathering place for the family.
The new layout addressed key challenges of the old kitchen—eliminating wasted space, introducing smart storage solutions, and ensuring that everything had a designated place. The updated design also created better flow between the kitchen, pantry, and adjoining spaces, making everyday use more seamless.
These carefully thought-out plans became the foundation for every step of the remodel, guiding material choices, cabinet placement, and even the positioning of new windows to bring in more natural light. The result? A kitchen that isn’t just beautiful but truly works for the way Tina and Kyle’s family lives.
The Design: A Mix of Modern Farmhouse and Transitional Styles
The design team at Bonae Interiors, led by Alexis Haas, worked closely with the homeowners to create a kitchen that perfectly blended modern farmhouse and transitional styles. The result was a bright, inviting space with natural textures and a timeless aesthetic.
- Cabinets: Custom wood cabinets were chosen for their durability and classic appeal.
- Countertops: Granite countertops added a touch of luxury and practicality.
- Backsplash: A ceramic tile backsplash with a Spanish tile accent brought a unique, artistic flair to the space.
- Flooring: A combination of floating floors and ceramic tile heated flooring ensures comfort and style.
- Pot Filler: A pot filler above the stove made cooking more convenient.
- Trash Can Cabinet: A built-in trash can cabinet kept the kitchen clutter-free.
- Sliding Silverware Tray: Custom roll-out trays added functionality to the drawers.
- Bifold Doors: Expanded pantry space with bifold doors for additional storage.
- New Windows: Large windows were installed to bring in more natural light and showcase the garden view.
- Storm Door: A storm door was added for ventilation during warm months and insulation during colder seasons.
- Deep Bay Window with Extended Countertop: The new bay window extended the countertop into the bay, adding workspace, making the room feel bigger, and increasing natural light.
The Construction Process: Overcoming Challenges
The planning and construction process was a collaborative effort between the homeowners, Bonae Interiors, and Pottstown Construction Company, one of the top contractors in Pottstown, PA. The design aesthetic and product selections were provided by Bonae Interiors, while the homeowners visited a custom cabinet shop to finalize the cabinet design.
Challenges and Solutions:
One of the main challenges was the home’s exposure to strong winds from a nearby field. To address this, the team installed closed-cell spray foam insulation along the back wall, providing excellent insulation and a vapor barrier.
Another hurdle was the delayed arrival of the bay window and garage door, which impacted the project timeline. However, the team worked diligently to keep the project on track and ensure a high-quality finish.
THE RESULT
A Dream Kitchen and Cozy Book Nook
The finished project exceeded the homeowners’ expectations. The modern farmhouse kitchen is now a bright, functional space where Tina enjoys baking more than ever. The new bay window brings in plenty of natural light, and the view of the garden adds a touch of serenity to the space.
The breezeway has been transformed into a cozy book nook, complete with a large window, a coat and shoe organizer, and plenty of natural light. It’s now the family’s primary entrance and a favorite spot for reading and relaxing.
