Successful Small Kitchen Remodel, Before and After

The Rosenfeld kitchen remodel was a project we did in Elgin, IL. It was a snug little kitchen, and it needed serious updating.

The owners had a few goals in mind:

• Smarter use of existing space
• More light (Northern exposure)
• Major update in style (those plywood doors had to go)
• New appliances
• A company to take the project from start to finish

The Rosenfeld’s wanted a style that would put a “craftsman” look in the kitchen, and quality that would last them the rest of their lives. Dura Supreme fit the bill. They had this door available in Quarter Sawn Oak, an absolutely beautiful door! Dura Supreme Cabinetry offers this style, a durable finish, and custom sizes at an affordable price, and had many storage options for this layout. They selected Zodiaq for their tops to complement their kitchen because of the color options, durability, and the best warranty in the business.

We provided installation through Seigle’s “Pro-Install” program which gave them peace of mind that the job would be done correctly by skilled tradesmen. To get more light in the kitchen they replaced their window with a larger one. They also added a Solar Tube to get more natural light into the kitchen, along with can lights and under cabinet lights. We added glass and lights to the corner cabinets, which seemed to visually open up the end of the kitchen. We gained space in the corners with the new stove, this meant we could add lazy susan cabinets there and gain storage in both corners. With the microwave over the stove, we now gained more counter space as well.

Check out our slideshow of construction progress to see the final results!

Artspace advocated for by Mark Seigle breaks ground

Artspace, a 55-unit live/work housing space for artists, broke ground on Tuesday, October 18 at the former Elgin Community College Fountain Square Campus. This $14.5 million project is meant to attract artists to affordable housing in downtown Elgin, while at the same time revitalizing downtown and establishing Elgin as an arts community. The project is developed by Artspace Projects, Inc., a nonprofit developer of arts facilities.

Artspace is made possible by federal tax credits and state affordable housing tax credits from the Illinois Housing Development Authority. In addition, our own Mark Seigle raised $500,000 in the private sector for the project. Read more about this exciting Elgin project in the Courier News.
