3-dog kitchen Remodel in Rogers

The re-design list for these homeowners was long and diverse. It ranged from getting rid of looming soffits in the kitchen to flooring throughout, to creating a built-in feeding station for their three beloved dogs.

Project Summary 

“They really wanted a modern design flow that provided a larger kitchen with better access to both the 4-season porch and the dedicated main level office,” explained Murphy Bros. designer Brittani Swedberg. “With three rather large dogs, they need flooring that would stand up to their constant traffic throughout the main floor,” explained Swedberg.

“Trading soffits for more cabinet storage is one way to tackle that issue,” recalls Design Build Consultant David Long, who lead the project.  “The large island design picked up the rest of the needed storage, but the coffee/Whiskey bar was a delightful addition to what is now a spacious kitchen in all respects.”
