We worked within the original footprint to turn a small-but-mighty space into a storage-packed, style-forward kitchen that feels anything but cramped. Think timeless period lighting, a mix of metals, and stunning brass cremone bolt hardware on the custom built-in china cabinet. Every inch of storage was maximized, and yes—we even snuck in the client’s dream drop zone just off the kitchen.
One of our favorite touches? The original 100+ year-old stair treads. Our carpentry team painstakingly removed every nail and bit of residue, giving these vintage beauties a second life as shelves in the back-entry bookcase. Matte black tiles meet warm wood floors, creating a space that’s both classic and unexpected.
A playful wall chalkboard adds a little whimsy, perfect for grocery lists, reminders, or kids’ artwork. It’s these thoughtful, layered details that make a Colonial Revival remodel in Wauwatosa feel fresh, functional, and endlessly lovable.
This home isn’t just renovated—it’s ready for the next 100 years of memories, full of charm, warmth, and just the right amount of personality.
