Kitchen Design/Remodel/Renovation - Lake Cottage, Shrewsbury, MA
This lake cottage in Shrewsbury, MA, underwent a complete transformation with a stunning kitchen remodel that created a modern, open-concept space perfect for both daily living and entertaining. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the renovation:
Open Concept Layout:
To achieve a seamless flow between the kitchen and adjacent spaces, we removed load-bearing walls and relocated both windows and doors. These structural changes opened up the entire area, allowing for better natural light and a more spacious feel, while maintaining the home's cozy lake cottage charm.
Cabinetry & Shelving:
We installed Wolf Classic cabinets, made from durable maple wood and painted in a crisp Island White. These cabinets feature soft-close doors and drawers, offering a sleek, modern touch with the convenience of smooth, quiet operation. Floating shelves were added to provide additional open storage and display space, blending functionality with minimalist design.
Center Island:
A large, functional center island was built into the design, offering both prep space and seating. The island accommodates bar stools, creating a casual spot for dining or gathering with guests, while adding a focal point to the kitchen's layout.
Countertops & Backsplash:
The countertops are made from luxurious Carrara White Honed Marble, finished with a pencil edge for a clean, elegant look. This same marble was extended to the stove backsplash, creating a cohesive design that highlights the beauty of the natural stone. For the rest of the backsplash, we installed classic 3x6" white subway tiles with bright white grout, providing a timeless yet fresh aesthetic that complements the cabinetry.
Sink & Faucet:
At the heart of the kitchen is a Vigo stainless steel undermount sink, seamlessly integrated into the marble countertops for a sleek and uninterrupted surface. Paired with the sink is a state-of-the-art Kohler Sensate Touchless Pullout High Arch Kitchen Faucet, offering hands-free operation for ultimate convenience, as well as a high-arc design that adds both style and functionality.
Lighting:
We installed LED Puck Style under-cabinet lighting, enhancing both the beauty and practicality of the space. These lights not only illuminate the countertops for task lighting but also add a modern touch to the overall kitchen design, creating a warm and inviting ambiance in the evening.
Pantry & Storage:
For a stylish and space-saving solution, we added a rolling barn-style door to the pantry. This rustic feature adds character and charm to the kitchen while maximizing accessibility and storage space.
Flooring:
New hardwood floors were installed throughout the kitchen and were carefully finished to enhance the natural beauty of the wood. The flooring adds warmth and texture to the space, perfectly complementing the white cabinetry and marble countertops for a balanced, cohesive look.
This Lake Cottage kitchen renovation blends rustic charm with modern design, resulting in an open, airy space that’s both functional and inviting. With its high-end finishes, thoughtful layout, and attention to detail, this kitchen now serves as the heart of the home, ideal for lakeside living and entertaining.
