Success Story: See Before and After Kitchen Remodel Photos!

We recently completed a beautiful kitchen remodel in Dundee, Illinois. In this project, the homeowner wanted a banquette instead of a dining table. The trim carpenter made the banquette and the table to match the cabinets in cherry wood, including soapstone countertops. Check out the dramatic transformation in the video below!

Cabinet Line: Dura Supreme
Door Style: Craftsman cherry
Countertop Style: Soapstone

New Cabinets Help Create a Beautiful Home after a Tornado

It all began 2 years ago when a tornado destroyed their country home. After months of planning, the new residence began to take shape. We chose Dura Supreme cabinetry made in Minnesota. The cabinetry is built with quality in mind and styled just right. Read more about each feature, and the careful thought behind every detail.

Family room bar. We pulled the center cabinet forward for little cost. We also raised the end base and wall cabinet to add interest.

Powder room. The cabinet on the left and right isn’t as deep as the center cabinet creating a stepped effect. Also, we kept the cabinet away from the wall on each end, giving the vanity a furniture piece look.

Changing room bath. This bath is off the natatorium. It has towels rolled up and stored in the cubes on top of the counter. Notice the drawer that pulls out to store the extractor that takes the water out of your swimming suit. This homeowner thought of everything!

Drop zone. The angled end cabinet gives you the feeling of a wider walkway. It also gives this area interest and is still useful storage.

Fireplace cabinetry. Pre-finished trim was ordered and the trim carpenter built in the bookcases and TV. We added beadboard back to the bookcases. The bottom right drawer is cut out for speaker cloth.

Kitchen. Gorgeous painted maple cabinetry are at staggered heights. The 48” range has a pot filler faucet and a 90” wide wood hood. The 2 side towers pull out to store spices. The big 6” posts on the left and right of the range store more spices and the other side has a pull out knife block. Decorative end panels, large crown and light rail completes the look. The contrast color island has open book shelves on both ends, sink, and 2 dishwashers, a must for entertaining lots of company. Open shelf space above the freezer and refrigerator makes a fashion statement. Did you wonder where the least attractive kitchen appliance was—the microwave? It’s between the freezer and refrigerator, behind a lift up door.

Morning bar. This cabinetry is in the master bedroom. We added an arch bottom rail to the upper cabinet to create visual interest. The under counter beverage center has a panel on the front to match the cabinetry. This also keeps this area formal looking.

Master bath. There is lots of storage and style in this cherry wood cabinetry. The arched panel valance adds a dramatic effect.

Tiki bar. This area is at one end of the natatorium. The cabinets have a rattan center panel and are made of lyptus wood. This combination creates an exotic look.

Every room in this gorgeous home is special, in part due to the wonderful cabinetry selected. Of course, a large part of the credit for this extraordinary residence goes to John Matustik of Matustik Builders. John’s skilled workmanship, attention to detail, and patience were a vital component in the successful outcome.

Home Alone House Sells: Reminiscing on Our 15 Minutes of Fame

The house made famous as the one that Kevin McCallister “has to defend” in “Home Alone” sold last week for $1.585 million. This has us thinking about our stroll through Tinsel Town back in 1990.

You remember the scene: Kevin McCallister sits at his kitchen counter eating cereal, and it dawns on him—the hustle and bustle of having all his relatives in his house the previous evening is no longer there. He thinks about it, and worriedly delivers a great line from the movie, “I made my family disappear.” Then he remembers their rude comments to him from the day before, like “You are such a disease!” and “Look what you did, you little jerk!” Then he says it again, all the worry gone from his voice, “I made my family disappear!”

We remember the scene well. As well as the pizza dinner scene from the night before, the firecracker scene where one of the burglars thinks he’s overhearing a mob gunfight, and the blowtorch to the head during the famous defense of the house battle. Why these particular scenes?

Because these are some of the most memorable kitchen scenes from the movie, where Seigles Cabinets took its stroll through Hollywood. The house immortalized in “Home Alone” was located in Winnetka, IL, and Seigle’s actually supplied the MasterBrand cabinetry for the filming of the movie. So while everyone else is enjoying the young Macaulay Culkin charm as he cocks his BB gun and says, “This is it!” We are looking over his shoulder to catch our appearance in this Christmas classic.

So feel free to watch the movie again, imagine what it would be like to live in that famous house, and be on the look out for our guest appearance!
