Bartelt. The Remodeling Resource

Entertaining Style Kitchen and Family Room

THE CHALLENGE

This 1969 “Parade of Homes” model was tired and dated. The spacious colonial home featured 1970s-style beams and paneling, and the kitchen had no exterior windows. The owners wanted to:

Update the look of the home and amenities
Eliminate the formal dining room
Include specialized appliances in the kitchen
Create an entertaining space with a wet bar in the family room

THE SOLUTION

Bartelt. The Remodeling Resource gave the owners:

An open floor plan by removing internal walls
Skylights
An updated laundry room on the second level
A foyer for entertaining larger groups
Arts and crafts-style cabinetry
A family media center
A refaced fireplace

“We’re very impressed with your personnel and service. Your expeditor was a delight to work with. His organizational skills were very much appreciated. The attention to detail in the initial design phase and the multiple revisions were quite worth the effort, as in the end we got exactly what we wanted and were comfortable with financially.”
