Unique Kitchens & Baths
The kitchen is the heart of most people’s homes. But for the Whitman family, the kitchen in their Seminary Hill area home wasn’t doing its job of bringing the family together very well.
Unique Kitchens & Baths
The 'before' kitchen.
The Whitmans’ daughters love to bake, and the family wanted a kitchen where they could all cook together and then gather with friends and family to eat those freshly baked treats.
This wasn’t the family’s first effort at home renovations, but the homeowners said it was definitely the smoothest process they’ve gone through. They worked with Unique Kitchens & Baths (UK&B) to get the look and functionality that would work for their family.
“We have worked with a number of contractors on a variety of projects in our home. The partnership of UK&B and Carr Michael Construction is the best experience we have had as homeowners,” the Whitmans said.
“Tanya’s vision and understanding of blending functional and entertaining spaces made the design and our renovation a success. The real magic is having a true turn-key project where UK&B drives the project performance and detail management.”
The project was much more than just a refresh. Both the refrigerator and stove moved from their earlier locations. “Opening the kitchen to the dining room gave the kitchen — and its occupants — more space to move and breathe,” said Tanya Smith- Shiflett, owner of Unique Kitchens & Baths.
“The best compliment is when friends and family are blown away by the beauty and comfort of the space. The best feeling is a completed renovation which feels like a sound investment in your home and for our family’s lifestyle,” the Whitmans said.
