Location: Swan Park Neighborhood
9516 Beverly Place Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

Home Style: 1940s Cape Cod

Scope: Kitchen, Dining & Mudroom Remodel

Square Footage: 3,400 sq ft

Client Story: A growing family of five (plus two dogs!) in search of more flow, function, and heart.

Our Task: To reshape the heart of their home—honoring its historic charm while opening it up to more ease, beauty, and real-life moments. From cooking and gathering to art projects, after-school snacks, and the simple joy of being together, every detail was designed to support how they truly live.

When a busy Wauwatosa family reached out to us, they weren’t just asking for a kitchen update—they were dreaming about how their home could better support the full rhythm of their everyday life. With three young kids, two dogs, and a love for hosting, their 1940s layout wasn’t cutting it. The original flow felt long and disjointed: a rarely-used formal dining room up front, and a dark, cramped kitchen and mudroom tucked in the back. It lacked the warmth, connection, and functionality they craved.

Every element in this kitchen was chosen to serve both beauty and daily life. From the arched alcove framing the range to the generous quartzite island that anchors the space, every detail speaks to the rhythm of a family that cooks, gathers, and lives fully here.

Mixed cabinetry finishes bring depth and warmth, while honey bronze hardware adds a refined touch of contrast. With smart storage tucked behind every panel and space to connect around every corner, this kitchen isn’t just the heart of the home—it’s the soul of how this family lives.
