Before / After: A Remote-to-Local (R2L) Renovation
From NYC to Durham
This is the project responsible for prompting me to write my recent post on designing for people remote to where I am! That exercise includes designing for both nearby projects and long distance ones.
A couple living in Manhattan hired us to design & remodel the kitchen in their newly purchased condo, 30 minutes down the road from our home base of Raleigh.
Lots of emails & phone calls later, they are happily settled in the new digs.
Before After
Features/Materials
- Cambria Collybrooke, quartz, double stack, eased edges. The look of concrete with zero maintenance of quartz!
- Modwalls Lush glass subway tile – Wasabi
- Vigo Farmhouse stainless steel single bowl sink
- IKEA cabinets & inserts
- Custom wine rack (local fabrication)
- LED undercabinet task lights
Last but not least, the onsite project manager:
Looks like you have a satisfied customer. I could not have done better myself and I am in the business.
Hi, Les – thank you! Coming from inside the business makes it that much more of a compliment. :)
Hello, Becky. I just love your company’s vision and aesthetic! I love it so much I wrote a “Designer of the Week” blog post about you on my blog: nicoleyeh.wordpress.com
I am just starting out in the business so I love taking in what everyone is doing and how they are doing it. Thanks for the inspiration!
