customized for a cooking enthusiast
The Worthington Hills homeowner,

kitchen and make it a functional haven
with lots of storage for her many specialized cooking utensils.
Kresge Contracting moved the
kitchen to another part of the house,
and created an open, more convenient
layout. They added Craftsman-accent
cabinets, butcher block and quartz
countertops, slate flooring, professional
grade appliances, a custom-built banquette and a unique slate floor. Kresge

farmhouse with an addition that looks
like part of the home and incorporates
green building practices and universal
design.
The post and beam addition has a
vaulted, wooden ceiling enveloping a
new open kitchen and family room. A
fully finished lower level has a one-ofa-kind ceiling made out of timber from
the property. A bright sunroom features
three walls of windows and shares a
two-sided fireplace with the family
room. Granite and Silestone countertops, custom cabinets and LED and low
voltage lighting bring the space to life.

and refurbished flea market treasures
give the space a rustic yet refined look.

ing water sounds mask traffic noise

Creative use of space
After a fire damaged

time to restore, update
and breathe new life into
their classic Clintonville
bungalow.
ReVisions Remodeling installed a new
second floor bathroom dormer and
bedroom. The loft dormer and kitchen
feature beautiful custom art glass panels designed by ReVisions. A wall was
removed and the kitchen was rebuilt
using quarter sawn oak and knotty
alder cabinetry, concrete countertops
and oak ceiling beams. The remodeled
bath now has the double vanity the
homeowners had always dreamed of,
plus a large shower with a unique tile
