The LeClaires’

This project began with a bold ask: a full-scale kitchen redesign that honored the spacious footprint of the home but reimagined every corner for functionality, elegance, and family connection. Our clients didn’t want an open-plan space. They wanted distinct zones where cooking, dining, and gathering could each shine in their own right.

The original kitchen was dated, dark, and chopped up. Our design vision brought in softness through cream cabinetry, layered neutrals, and modern classic finishes. Custom two-tone cabinetry in soft dove gray and warm white anchored the space with character, while brushed brass hardware added just the right amount of glam.

We completely restructured the layout, expanding usable prep and storage zones while introducing a central island that now functions as both a workhorse and a social hub.

Beyond the kitchen, we carved out two unique dining experiences. One is an intimate corner banquette style breakfast area wrapped in windows, made for slow weekend mornings. The second is a more formal dining space under a dramatic skylight, styled for hosting without the stuffiness.

The Result:

“We didn’t want trendy. We wanted timeless. Jan delivered that and more. Every inch of this kitchen feels intentional. We host more, we cook more, and somehow, even clean-up doesn’t feel like a chore anymore.”

A hardworking kitchen that serves up warmth, beauty, and connection.

Exactly what the LeClaires hoped for.
