When these Lakeville clients started planning their kitchen, they knew they wanted to open it up, have a big pantry and large island that they could use for prep and meal time. After working with the Honey-Doers team, they were able to put together a gorgeous kitchen that met all of those needs.

90s Kitchen

Remodel:

Originally, there was a wall between the kitchen and dining room. That wall was removed and the floors throughout the kitchen, dining room and entryway were replaced to create an open concept that flowed nicely together between rooms. The team installed a large, fixed window above the sink to let in more natural light. Cabinets were created by Hoffman, Inc.[link] and included an over-sized pantry with pull-out shelves and a beautiful kitchen island with a quartz countertop. Shelly helped the clients pick out all of the colors and details, including a light gray color for the cabinets, keeping the kitchen bright, while still giving it some warmth. These clients were grateful that they were able to take samples home to look at them in the space before making decisions.

These clients had a great experience with the Honey-Doers team. Shelly helped them feel good about the decisions they were making and they said the team was always clean and respectful. This was a big project in Lakeville that took about 6 weeks to fully complete and the clients are very happy with the finished product.

Bathroom Renovation

The bathroom was updated with Schluter in-floor heat and rectangular tiles (Firenze Carrara Tile) installed along the floor and walls. The tiling had a marble gray finish, matching the tone of the countertops and contrasting the clean, custom cabinets surrounding the new Caldonia vanity.

Office Renovation

The office renovation required all new flooring, custom cabinets, and new countertops. The cabinets were Black Walnut. And the countertops were Tier 5, Rolling Jasmine Quartz which matched well with the hexagonal Carlos Silver tiles. Underneath the tiles, we installed Schluter Ditra-Heat flooring.

Office Challenges

Removal of the original floor revealed asbestos underneath. Remediation and contamination were required.

Bathroom Challenges

The challenge for the bathroom involved a rework of the ventilation system. There were issues with the exhaust fan’s ducts. We installed new venting on the roof and out of the side of the home.
