Nelms Kitchen

When my good friends Jake and Andrea Nelms approached me about remodeling their kitchen I was beyond excited!  I knew they would be great to work with and that we could come up with the perfect kitchen for them and their growing family.  Another contractor had suggested flipping the kitchen around and closing an existing entrance and making a new one...what a great idea!  So that is what we did!  This was a top to bottom remodel for the Nelms kitchen.  We tore out the existing kitchen and started over in the opposite corner of the room, once the existing opening was closed off.  New tile flooring, cabinetry, countertops, lighting, and tile backsplash were all selected.  One of the things we did that really helped with the space of the kitchen was to change the existing french doors to the porch into a sliding door, so that we didn't have to contend with a door swing in the kitchen anymore.  To me, the element that really sets this kitchen off is the tile backsplash.  The glass tile listello and the framed piece behind the range bring all of the finishes together.  We chose a neutral taupe for the walls, as to not distract from the countertops or backsplash.  I think it turned out beautifully and it was so much fun working with the Nelms!
