We learn early on that first impressions are important and that we typically only have one chance to make a good one. This concept also applies to the front entrance of our homes.

Some may assume having a family friendly kitchen means that they will be sacrificing style for durability, which is not always the case. For the homeowners of this newly remodeled kitchen Thompson Remodeling created a space that would hold up to the everyday wear and tear of their family of all ages, yet still allow them to entertain a more mature crowd. Here are a few ways we created this family-friendly kitchen.

Removing walls is a great way to create an open feel within an existing space. For these homeowners, taking down the walls between their kitchen, dining room, and common areas allowed them to utilize the space as a whole versus four smaller spaces. They were also able to add a large island and built in mudroom lockers. Best of all they are now able to take advantage of their magnificent lake view now from every room.

Our clients rely on us to handle small projects that still involve multiple trades. A perfect example would be hanging a flat screen tv on the wall above a fireplace.

Saturday February 19, 2013 at 11:00 AM the freezing waters of Reeds Lake will be filled with the courageous participants of this year’s Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) Polar Plunge. After raising funds for a good cause these participants will finish their fundraising efforts with a cold dip into Reeds Lake, dressed in the most outrageous costumes. Although none of us here at Thompson Remodeling are braving the cold water we are proud to be a sponsor of this years zany event. The proceeds raised from a series of plunges held throughout Michigan help support year-round sports training and athletic competition for more than 18,600 children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
