Follow the Creation of a Dream Kitchen (2nd of 4)

Step 2: Communication and observation during construction are essential to ensure that the details and design intent are well coordinated. Clear, concise drawings are created and reviewed with potential contractors. Questions are handled during the bid phase. Estimates are received.


Once the contractor is selected, finishes are finalized; appliance and fixtures are ordered; construction begins! For this kitchen, everything was removed down to the studs and the subfloor was reconstructed. Mechanical, plumbing and electrical are located according to plan.


Drywall is replaced. Walls are prepared for the delivery of cabinets.




Installation of the fine, custom cabinets begins! All of the thought and detail begins to materialize.

Now, we work with the painter through a series of stain samples to determine the final result. Stay tuned...
