A Bit of Yellow

In the world of custom home renovations, the ultimate accomplishment lies in creating spaces that are not just visually stunning but inherently functional. At Fine Custom Construction, our mission is to bring such transformations to fruition. This Utah home project was not just about a kitchen transformation—it was about redefining the main floor’s gathering spaces including the living room, kitchen, and dining area, to reflect the expansive vision of our clients.

We were confronted with a common issue: a main floor divided by walls, creating a lack of flow. The kitchen was tucked away in a small, closed-off corner, and the staircase, positioned directly in front of the entryway, became a major pinch point that disrupted the natural movement through the space.

The homeowners envisioned a grander, more open living space. They imagined an area where the joy of cooking, the comfort of dining, and the relaxation of lounging could all coexist without barriers. Our task was to bring down these walls, literally and figuratively, to create an expansive, multi-functional main floor that exudes both sophisticated design and everyday practicality.

Crafting Contemporary Elegance: The Fine Custom Construction Approach

The transformation began with creating an intricate design by partnering with JB Design. The vision was a unified and open main floor that seamlessly integrated the living room, kitchen, and dining area. An expansive, two-toned kitchen, crafted with precision by Millcreek Cabinetry, anchors the space, featuring crisp white cabinets paired with a dark gray island that provides a striking visual contrast. This same dark gray is carried through to custom built-in shelves that frame an updated, modern fireplace, which is accompanied by a swivel-mounted TV—ideal for viewing from multiple angles in the new open space.

Efficiency was a priority, and it shows in the gray cabinetry that lines the area, offering ample storage while maintaining a sleek aesthetic. A custom bench under the dining room window emerges as a multipurpose gem, serving as both a cozy retreat for reading and a smart storage solution. The pantry was thoughtfully redesigned to be both accessible and unobtrusive, aligning with the clean lines of the renovation.

By removing the walls around the stairwell, Fine Custom Construction created a fluid transition between the home’s entryway and its communal spaces, enhancing movement and encouraging gatherings. The flooring, provided by Lemco, adds a seamless unity that connects the rooms, reinforcing the open concept design. Skylights, sliding glass doors, and the addition of a sunroom all work together to bathe the main floor in abundant natural light, highlighting the fresh, airy feel of the living area.

The neutral palette of grays and whites is punctuated by lively accents of yellow in the chairs and décor, adding a burst of energy and personality. Stainless steel appliances from MLD give the kitchen a modern edge, completing the look of this high-end remodel. The transformation results in a main floor that is not only visually striking but also fully equipped to cater to the comfort and sophistication of contemporary living.
