Beautiful Kitchen Remodel Creates Warm, Soothing, “Heart of the Home” for Lorton Family
Customer Focus
Our customers, who were referred to MOSS by another contractor, loved the size of their home and especially the kitchen. However, they knew that the colors and finishes in the original kitchen weren’t to their personal style. They came to our design team with a few “anchor points” that they wanted to focus on – including creating a kitchen that was truly “the heart of the home” where the family could cook, eat, and play games together. Our customers also wanted better storage and more cabinetry that would provide them with a better system for storing their appliances, cookware, serving ware, and seasonal items all in one place, as they love to cook. Finally, the homeowners knew they wanted dark floors and blue cabinets. With these anchor points top of mind, our design team suggested complementary selections such as white countertops and a pale gray subway tile backsplash to contrast and brighten the room. In the end, our customers are incredibly pleased with their warm, modern, and calm kitchen that has given them all they envisioned for their remodel.
Safety
This remodel, which included not only the kitchen but also the replacement of the hardwoods on the entire main level and on the new staircase (which also had the railing updated), was completed during the global pandemic. As with all MOSS projects during the pandemic, all CDC health and safety guidelines were followed by the MOSS team and the homeowners.
Performance
Our MOSS design team took our homeowners’ anchor points and needs to mind, suggesting the placement of the cook top on the massive island (with pop up exhaust fan) so that the person doing the cooking was still a part of any conversations happening in the kitchen. The ability for those cooking to be able to interact with almost any room on the main floor shows how MOSS bonded with our customers to create the atmosphere they longed for.
Fairness
MOSS scheduled the floor updates while the family went out of town on vacation, knowing the disruption would be a lot for the family, especially the two school-aged children who were in the middle of virtual school during the remodel. When the homeowners returned home, they said they experienced a “Wow” moment upon seeing their new floors, they loved them so much!
Quality
The incredible blue cabinetry in the kitchen is not only beautiful but is highly functional. The ample storage gives the homeowners almost too much space! The layout of the perimeter cabinets, including the coffee corner, is a perfect example of the high quality of design that MOSS customers can expect.
