Contemporary Kitchen Renovations

Stainless Steel Fireplace

This standard honey oak built-in was transformed to a work of art. Truffle stained furniture-like pieces surround this ribbon burning fireplace capped with window seats. Not only was a sleek contemporary look a must for the homeowners, they also wanted their space to be functional and allow for all the storage needed in this active area. Instead of commonly used products like tile, stone, or granite, they chose stainless steel to surround their fireplace.

Staircase Transformed

In this Urbandale home remodeling project, the traditional oak staircase was removed and replaced with this sleek iron staircase custom handcrafted by Artistic Iron Works here in Des Moines. The wood treads originally belonged to a bridge near Ida Grove. The new look is transformational and achieves the homeowners vision for a contemporary statement that incorporates a piece of Iowa history.

Contemporary Kitchen Remodel

The kitchen in this Urbandale home began as a standard L-shaped kitchen design with oak cabinets and a small island. Grand Homes helped the homeowners achieve their vision of a sleek and contemporary kitchen design. A goal in this kitchen remodeling was to incorporate a large pull-out table, designed by the homeowner, that seats up to 8 people and is integrated in the island that seats four. The espresso stained cherry cabinets are accompanied by under cabinet lights, white quartz countertops, and two transom windows.
