Oswego Kitchen Project

We are currently working at a beautiful farmette in Oswego updating a kitchen from the 1950’s to 2008. As you can see, they have a great old barn that towers over our trucks and makes a nice backdrop for a dumpster and a portable toilet (a standard on our jobsites). I absolutely love old barns and still need to get a tour of this one before we are done. One of our first projects as a company was a timber frame addition and this barn is a distant cousin to the work we did on that project.

The house is a rambling farmhouse added onto several times. We are updating the kitchen with new cherry cabinets and granite countertops. Complete with a custom built-in eating area. Lots of new lighting (mostly LED) and glass cabinet doors for displaying treasured items. We added new natural stone tile flooring in a light cream color. The tile is really nice with a lot of natural variation in color. Everybody loves it!

The project is closing in on completion and will be done in the next couple of weeks. Keep looking for new photos as we add the counters, backsplash tile and finishing touches. Here is what the kitchen looks like up until Friday. Note the hidden duct-work for the oven hood over the top of the cabinets. It will eventually be hidden by the crown moulding.

Oh, and that window on the right? We raised it about 12″ so the new counter eating area will line up perfectly with the bottom of the window. Its all about the little things. And planning. Construction is 80% planning and the other 20% is thinking ahead!
