Oconomowoc Rustic Kitchen

Outdated & Cramped to a Modern & Functional Kitchen

Before Photos

Once dated and confined, this 1958 kitchen was completely reimagined into a bright, open and functional heart of the home. This custom kitchen renovation delivered a fresh start with improved flow, added height and modern rustic style.

The renovation began with a full interior demolition, followed by reframing and raising the ceiling to create an open, airy feel. Angled ceiling corners add architectural character, while removing an old doorway and installing a raised header into the attic allowed the kitchen to flow seamlessly into the back hallway.

KEY STRUCTURAL & LAYOUT UPGRADES

Thoughtful structural changes improved aesthetics and functionality:

  • Full kitchen demolition and rebuild
  • Raised ceiling to increase height and openness
  • Angled ceiling details for added character
  • Removal of outdated doorway
  • Raised header to improve circulation and flow
  • Reconfigured layout for a more open floor plan

RUSTIC-CHIC CABINETRY & FINISHES

Warm materials and bold contrasts define the updated look:

  • Showplace Rustic Hickory cabinetry with natural finish
  • Trim and crown molding for a custom-built appearance
  • Cambria Harlech quartz countertops
  • Black LED under-cabinet lighting
  • Adura Dockside Driftwood luxury vinyl plank flooring

RESULTS

With increased ceiling height, enhanced flow and rustic-chic finishes, the space combines warmth, character and everyday functionality, creating the perfect setting for cooking, gathering and entertaining.
