Bellevue Phased Home Refresh: Kitchen Gut & Living Update

Project Overview

This phased Bellevue home remodel, completed with a $100K–$120K budget, transformed a dark, outdated interior into a bright, modern living space across two stages: Phase 1 for 3 weeks and Phase 2 kitchen gut for 4 weeks.

Homeowners aimed to refresh the entire interior for more light, storage, and contemporary style, starting with living areas and culminating in a full kitchen transformation. Our structured approach delivered exactly what they envisioned, exceeding expectations with seamless execution.

What the Client Needed

The homeowners wanted to overcome a dark, outdated home by:

• Brightening living spaces with new lighting and fresh finishes
• Adding storage through extra cabinets and countertops in dining/kitchen
• Modernizing with new flooring, millwork, fireplace, and full repaint
• Completely reimagining the cramped kitchen layout 

Our Approach

We partnered with a designer to create a clear vision, organized premium materials like CFM Tile and Arizona Tile Stone, built a precise schedule, and executed flawlessly. Phase 1 remodeled floors, walls, added can lights, installed new carpet, millwork trim/doors, chandelier, custom floating fireplace mantel, and full interior repaint.

Phase 2 gutted the kitchen, adding cabinets/countertops in dining for optimal storage, all while providing clear expectations, timeline adherence, and peace of mind throughout.

Final Result

The home now radiates light and modernity with cohesive updates that tie living, dining, and kitchen together beautifully. Storage solutions, brighter ambiance, and durable finishes resolved every concern, turning a dated space into one that feels vibrant and functional.

The outcome turned out better than imagined, perfectly suited to their lifestyle.
