Partnering with Capital Renovation & Construction, Inc. of Bolingbrook, Illinois, the homeowners expanded their kitchen into the dining room to create a single open, welcoming space. The redesigned layout includes extended cabinetry for improved storage, a sit-down island for connection and convenience, and a dedicated coffee station for daily ease. Gray lowers paired with white uppers offer a timeless contrast, while layered lighting—can lights, pendants, and a dining chandelier—adds warmth and clarity throughout. Wide-plank flooring unifies the rooms, a porcelain backsplash provides a clean classic finish, and a full-height pantry with white quartz countertops brings together beauty, flow, and functionality for a family-ready kitchen built to last.
