MAIN FLOOR REMODEL: BUNGALOW CHARM

Many Bungalow homeowners can identify with the need for more kitchen storage, light and space. That's because most homes designed during the 1920s-1950s - were compartmentalized in design, with kitchens that were hidden away and not meant to be seen. We turned the traditional design concept on its head and put this 108 square-foot kitchen on full display by opening up the adjoining dining room wall. The space was visually enlarged through the introduction of more natural and man-made light: an additional window over the sink, ceiling cans, and under-cabinet task lighting. Functionality was improved with the use of custom cabinets and built in storage for electronics, coats, menus, spices, cookbooks and favorite serving pieces. The adjoining dining room, living room and entry were given a fresh new look to coordinate!

Charm was introduced to this compact space with crackeld "bombay" blue subway tile, reeded glass upper cabients, and a linen Thibaut floral for the custom Roman shade. This delightful new space is functional, quaint, and on full view.

Here's what our clients had to say after the remodel was complete:

"From the first time we met Rocky & Gigi, we knew we wanted to work with them. They are both easy to talk to and great people. They truly listen to your goals, get input on your style and turn it into a fantastic plan and design. You can tell that their objective is to produce high quality renovations and designs that leave their clients happy. They certainly did that for us.

For our kitchen remodel, we had a tight space that we wanted to open to the dining area. With Rocky’s intelligent layout, he made use of every inch of space and we ended up with more storage, even after losing a wall! Gigi’s great style tied all our spaces together and brought a wonderful level of sophistication to our house, while still making it work for a household with young kids.

Throughout the whole construction process, Rocky communicated daily about what was happening and brought us in right away when there were any changes and decisions that needed to be made. Cost considerations were always well communicated and we always felt completely informed and in control of the project. The project was finished ahead of the initial schedule laid out. Rocky’s follow up since construction completed has also been phenomenal. He works very hard to make sure everything is right. We absolutely love our new space and are enjoying cooking and entertaining even more often to show it all off. There have been a lot of 'Wow', 'Stunning', and 'Amazing' comments, especially for those who saw the before & after. We cannot recommend DiGiacomo Homes more strongly. We’re already hoping to have them back for another project soon! Thank you, Rocky & Gigi!" - Project Homeowner.
