This home renovation in Milwaukee’s Harambee neighborhood involved a complete interior remodel of the second- and third-floor living spaces above a first-floor apartment. Achieving the homeowner’s dream of adding modern amenities required moving walls, upgrading flooring, and installing all-new plumbing.

The finished kitchen now has exposed wood beams, marble countertops, and storage galore.  Light maple floors are accented by black custom cabinetry, black herringbone subway tile, and a black and brass Kohler gooseneck faucet. White subway tile on the wall facing the black tile balances things out while allowing natural light to reflect from the large kitchen windows. Stainless steel appliances add a beautiful warm gleam.
