Pam Hanan, Watertown

When Pam Hanan of Watertown decided it was time to remodel her 70’s era kitchen, she wanted a design that offered something different. Her kitchen remodel started with completely gutting the space and opening up the soffits to add space and light. While the floor plan didn’t change, she installed all new cabinets, countertops and flooring.

In working with Laurie Peirick, Kitchen Designer, she found that the designer’s creativity impressed her the most. “I always wanted something a little different, something that wouldn’t look like anyone else’s kitchen. Laurie always came up with little touches that made a whole world of difference,” said Hanan. Cabinet trim, selected glass-fronted cabinets and lighting details all provided the unique look Hanan was after.

Craftmanship and attention to detail also added to her satisfaction with the project. “The carpentry and fit of the cabinets are as close to perfect as you can get,” she said.

“She really listens to what you need, and fits the project to those needs,” said Hanan. She highly recommends the design team at JP Kitchen Studio to other customers.

They no longer have the “ugliest” kitchen:
Oconomowoc family wins $7,000 kitchen makeover from JP Kitchen Studio.

Dave and Jennifer Hagen were surprised to get the call in April 2006. “This is the first thing I’ve ever won,” said Jennifer. Now they are the proud owners of a brand new kitchen.

The Hagen’s entered “Lake Country’s Ugliest Kitchen contest” last spring. The contest was created by JP Kitchen Studio to help celebrate their Grand Opening on April 7, 2006. “We wanted to come up with a fun way to introduce our business to the Lake Country area,” said owner Sean Jacobs. “Once we started promoting the contest, we received almost 40 entries.”

Homeowners were asked to drop a photo of their “ugly” kitchen by the new studio, or send a photo via the website. A panel of local judges helped to chose the Hagen’s as the winning kitchen. The judges were Gina Magnus of Oconomowoc, Susan Smith of Local Color, Dan Karas of Hallmark Building Supplies and Kent Johnson, Architect.

Dave Hagen grew up in their Oconomowoc home, so he had been living with that kitchen for, “as long as I can remember!” Dave, Jennifer and baby Jack are now enjoying their bright new kitchen.

The Hagen’s received a kitchen makeover worth more than $7000, including Corian countertops, Bertch Marketplace cabinets and hardware, $250 of paint from Sherwin Williams, and a new Corian sink. JP Kitchen Studio donated all design services and installation, sent the Hagen’s to dinner at Rosati’s and all suppliers gave deep discounts. The homeowners installed their own ceramic tile flooring, added attractive new light fixtures and bought new stainless steel appliances.

"Thank you so much for the planning and installation of our beautiful kitchen. We both really enjoyed working with you and we will refer you when the opportunity presents itself. God's blessing to you and your family."

The Dix kitchen was featured in the August 2006 issue of "M Magazine."  


  DAN & MONICA TRUDELL, Oregon, WI

"Both Dan and I want to thank you for the fantastic job you did on our kitchen. We are beyond delighted with the results and are both extremely happy with the way we were treated by JP Kitchen Studio. When we first met with you, you brought some great ideas to us, keeping in mind our objective to remodel the kitchen so it would be ready for us to sell the house in a couple of years... The Bertch Marketplace series cabinets are of extremely high quality and very versatile.... Aaron and Trevor were terrific to work with. They were extremely efficient and innovative in solving a problem they encountered in hanging the cabinets. We were very impressed with the quality of their work. While remodeling a kitchen is not easy on those of us living through it, in the end it was all worth it. Every delivery date was met and we experienced no delays. All in all, the project came in on schedule and under budget."


 

Tom & Cynthia BeebE, Fort Atkinson, WI

“Our new kitchen is gorgeous. What a marvelous job you have all done. Laurie, we love your design - it so works for us…Everyone you suggested we work with has been terrific. The cabinets are to die for. I can't stop sitting at the counter and just gazing! Don't you just love the lighting - that chandelier over the sink - Wow! You all should be very proud!”


 

TOM & CATHY HOOF, Watertown, WI

"When it came time for you to do the installation of the cabinet and countertops, everything was accomplished in a timely fashion, with a minimum mess for us to clean up. We always felt confident the work would be well done."


  SCOTT & WENDY PAGE, Oconomowoc, WI

The Page's came to JP for an update. Even though they had white cabinets, the counters and back splash were very dark and the one light fixture in the middle of the room didn't give adequate light. Since Wendy is a gardener, and loves to can vegetables in the summer, this kitchen needed to work hard. Wendy chose Legacy oak toffee cabinets in a timeless Shaker style with simple, but large crown molding, granite counters, a travertine tile backsplash with accents of black granite. A communication center was added to house a small TV, radio and phone near the table. The floors were also refinished and provided a warm backdrop to the updated cabinets and countertops. Now this kitchen is a joy to cook in. "Wendy...what time is dinner???"
