Timeless Connections | Kitchen & Bath | Lexington

Story

In this Lexington colonial home, Feinmann reimagined the kitchen and family room. We created a connecting space featuring contemporary design, open sightlines, and magnificent functionality for cooking and entertaining.

Challenges

The original kitchen and family room had an abundance of challenges and issues. For instance, the kitchen layout felt cramped due to little cooking space. The area was small because the place was located awkwardly between the mudroom, powder room, and family room. In addition, the rooms did not connect well with each other or the backyard. The space lacked natural light and functional seating, and there was a corner fireplace that disrupted the flow of the family room.

Solutions

Feinmann created a contemporary kitchen and an open floor plan by doing the following. To start, we relocated the powder room to the front of the mudroom, allowing for a larger kitchen area. Then we moved the fireplace to the back wall, which gave rise to several great design solutions. For instance, it allowed us to open the sightlines to the backyard and add multiple glass doors, which significantly increased the natural light. It also improved the family room layout making it more suitable for entertainment and watching a movie. On top of these changes, we added a coffered ceiling in the kithcen, which helped differentiate the space from the family room. We also integrated modern design elements, an island with seating, and lots of storage.

Tailored Reflections

We loved having entire Feinmann team in our home and appreciated them treating it like it was their own. The work they did is all over-the-top gorgeous. They coached us to select products and finishes that will last a lifetime (and through our toddler), and the craftsmanship with which it was all executed certainly will hold up to time. I admire daily the integration of existing and new, and regret only that in time I’ll likely forget which is which. Feinmann is masterful at what they do. I really can’t say enough nice things about them, and their work.

From start to finish of the project our ideas were heard and creatively addressed. The quality of the final results are even better than we imagined. Our home feels completely new and we love the improved living space! As far as the team, they are fantastic, personable, timely, has great ideas and always seem to stay calm and in charge, ready to problem solve. The carpenters are a delight to work with and the quality of their carpentry and building skills are impressive, always smiling and offering a “can do” attitude.

- Leveling Up for Grand Entertaining

Feinmann is a top-notch company in every category! We have worked with them on three separate occasions: a complete kitchen remodel (2017), three bathrooms (2016), and a room addition (2011). Working with the Feinmann team was truly a great pleasure! Everyone in the company is committed to quality work, the projects were run proficiently and professionally, they provided the highest quality workmanship, and we always received timely responses to our questions and concerns. My wife and I would consider no-one else for our new project!

- European, Contemporary Kitchen Remodel

We are very happy with the experience we had with Feinmann in what was a pretty extensive remodel. First of all, their design team truly developed a great vision for the house, beyond what we had imagined. Through the remodel, which by its nature is an arduous process (living without a kitchen for a while), the Feinmann team was very collaborative and supportive, managed well and the results have truly transformed our house. We’re extremely happy with the outcome.

- Hosting Haven Meets Artistic Angles

Feinmann took a real interest in building a kitchen that would fit the design of the house and meet our needs. That was when we knew that they were the best choice for us. Anyone can rip out a kitchen and put in some new counters and cabinets, but we wanted someone who cared about design, style, and function.
