Hoogendoorn Family Remodel

Thompson took our thoughts and turned it into something creative that was tangible. I think Ben said it best, “Trust me on the result. Judge me on the result. The process is important, but in the end, the result is what matters.” And, he was clearly right. At the end of the project, the result exceeded our expectations.

Bertrand Basement Remodel

After remodeling their previous home just 6 months earlier, circumstances required the family to move. One day upon returning to their new home, they found their basement flooded! Heres how Thompson helped them through.

Lynn Remodel

We moved here from the Detroit area. Basically, since the year 2000, I have wanted to renovate the kitchen. I think just based on going through the website and discussions with Ben, that's how we made the decision to go with Thompson.

Inventive Design – Kitchen Remodel with Hidden Basement Entrance Through the Pantry!

The owners of this Grand Rapids home came to us in search of a way to improve the functionality of their small kitchen. The existing layout was not only tight, but also included four doorways into other rooms. It was functioning more like a hallway with a few appliances added in for good measure. 


Creating the Hidden Basement Entrance

One of the four doorways in this kitchen went to the basement. As we were considering the layout, we came up with the unique idea to create a walk-thru pantry! We knew we wanted to move the refrigerator to make it more easily accessible and the clients also needed more storage. What if we could surround the fridge with cabinetry and build a pantry façade to hide the entrance to the basement? The clients loved the idea! The built-in cabinetry also houses a pullout trash bin, which was always difficult to place in their old kitchen layout.

Laminate countertops were replaced with quartz and beautiful new white and gray cabinets and appliances were selected including a dishwasher that there previously was no room for. We used 2¼” hardwood oak to match the flooring of the rest of the main level. 

A Punch of Color
We love when clients like to add visual interest with color and these homeowners were all for it. To start, the gray cabinets provide a rich contrast to the white used above the counters and on the refrigerator walls. For the real color punch, several walls were painted with an indigo blue and blue glass knobs were added to the white cabinets.

This kitchen remodel is proof that small spaces don’t have to look or feel confined. With creative thinking, function and flow can be improved in ways you never imagined!
