How to Find and Hire the Best Remodeling Contractor
April Bettinger was featured in The Seattle Times discussing finding and hiring the best remodeling contractor.
![Our team was retained to update this 1990’s Cottage Lake home. The clients wanted unique design features, a cozy feel and some whimsical.. We remodeled the kitchen incorporating custom hickory cabinets, a small walnut sitting perch at the peninsula and some beautiful custom made ceramic tile incorporating daises and a special butterfly. Our client is a baker, so the back wall of the kitchen is designed for everything baking complete with a lowered countertop for pie rolling and a pull out cabinet for the stand mixer. The corners by the window incorporated walnut shelving w/ lighting integrated into them and created a perfect tea station in the corner. We added/changed the lighting in the space by adding another small window in the kitchen, relocating the family room door into and adding a large window next to the new nook space. The doorway was opened up to the formal dining room with the previous window becoming a large slider to the deck and we added another window to the back wall flooding the space with light. The main floor in general was updated with hardwoods/refinishing and painting plus a freshen up to the family room fireplace with some stacked stone and a site built walnut box mantle.](https://niptuckremodel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/finding-your-style-300x200.png)
