Before and after: Major kitchen transformation in South Charlotte

The Before

This stunning renovation by Ashland Custom Homes in the Montibello neighborhood was a long time coming, but years of waiting and dreaming completely paid off for the homeowners. They wanted to wait until they were a bit “older and more financially secure” after seeing their goals in magazines and on TV. Here’s what they were working with:

In Progress

The main priority for the renovation was creating more space, but still respecting the integrity of the original house and it’s “traditional bones.” For these homeowners, that meant incorporating nearby spaces (like closets and hallways) while still maintaining the separated main rooms.

While the end product was flawless, it came with its fair share of bumps in the road. “Projects like this have ‘tentacles.’ You forget how changing one room affects other rooms – matching the trim, starting/stopping paint choices, consistent flooring, etc. There’s a lot to consider.”

The After

The homeowners’ favorite features? The beverage fridge, the fun backsplash, all of the counter space and finally getting to cook on a gas stove. “I usually say that ‘things’ don’t make you happy, which is true. But I have to say that this kitchen renovation has made us all happier in our home.”
