At Mountaineer Kitchens & Baths, we take pride in helping homeowners reimagine their spaces to create functional, stylish, and inviting environments. The Colandrea family in Inwood, WV came to us with a vision of an open, modern kitchen and living area that naturally blended style and practicality. Through thoughtful planning, high-quality craftsmanship, and premium materials, we helped bring their dream home to life.
An Open-Concept Kitchen & Living Space
This remodel wasn’t just about updating cabinetry and countertops—it was about transforming the entire flow of the home. By removing walls, installing new flooring, and incorporating a modern electric fireplace, we enhanced the heart of the Colandrea home.
1. Expanding the Kitchen & Creating Open Flow
- Walls Removed: We eliminated separating walls between the kitchen, dining, and living room to create an open and connected space.
- Structural Modifications: To accommodate the new layout, we adjusted electrical and plumbing systems to support a more functional kitchen design.
- Updated Electrical & Lighting:
- LED recessed lighting throughout the kitchen, dining, and living area.
- Under-cabinet and in-cabinet lighting for a stylish and practical touch.
- GFCI outlets and a new dedicated circuit for the disposal.
2. Stunning Custom Cabinetry & High-End Finishes
- New Cabinetry: We installed custom Kraftmaid cabinets, finished in a timeless, elegant design that enhances the home’s style.
- Luxury Hardware: The brushed gold hardware was carefully selected to complement the Moen Sleek faucet, adding a touch of sophistication.
- Quartz Countertops: Beautiful quartz countertops provided durability, easy maintenance, and a refined aesthetic.
3. Modern Backsplash & Statement Fixtures
- Hexagon Tile Backsplash: We installed horizontally laid hexagon tile for a modern, sleek appearance.
- New Dining Room Pendant Light: The updated dining area light fixture added a stylish focal point, complementing the open layout.
A Living Room That Feels Like Home
To complete the natural integration between the kitchen and living room, we introduced several key upgrades:
- New Oak Railings & Wrought Iron Balusters:
- We removed the outdated knee wall and balusters, replacing them with custom oak railings and black wrought iron balusters for a classic-meets-modern aesthetic.
- Every third baluster featured a decorative detail, adding subtle elegance.
- Custom Fireplace Wall:
- We built a 12” deep, 72” wide, 96” tall wall for a brand-new electric fireplace.
- Installed a custom oak floating shelf, stained to match the flooring, serving as a stylish mantel for décor and entertainment.
- Mounted a 65” TV above the fireplace to create the perfect entertainment hub.
- Flooring Upgrade:
- Installed new luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring throughout the entire second floor, providing durability, warmth, and cohesion across rooms.
A Fresh New Space with a Cohesive Look
With new walls, flooring, cabinets, countertops, lighting, and a stunning electric fireplace, the Colandrea family’s kitchen and living area is now a bright, modern, and open space that’s both functional and stylish. The combination of high-end materials and a smart layout has created a home that feels warm, inviting, and tailored to their needs.
