Brookside homes boast tons of character, beautiful woodwork, and a quality of workmanship you’d be hard-pressed to find in homes built today. Unfortunately, while these homes have tons of charm they were built for a lifestyle of yesteryear. This particular home’s kitchen had dated linoleum, tile counters, 1950’s cabinets and an awkward layout.

You know we couldn't stay away for long!

After a wonderful 2016 community workshop series, the team at Schloegel Design Remodel is more than ready to introduce this year's Smart Remodeling Workshops.

Induction stovetops may not be in every kitchen yet, but they come with serious benefits. Designer Gayle Jagoda breaks down how induction cooking works, as well as the advantages to taking the heat out of the kitchen.

How It Works 

Induction cooking is very powerful at heating compared to gas and electric coils, Gayle explained.

Schloegel Design Remodel introduced its first workshop in its Smart Remodeling Workshop series Tuesday. We're proud to say it was a hit! 

The workshop, Kitchen You: Planning Your New Kitchen Like a Pro, taught class goers about kitchen styles, as well as choosing the right hardware and materials for their lifestyles.

Whether you're hauling in groceries or cooking a family meal, layout is key to making your kitchen work for you. Watch Schloegel Design Remodel Designer Gayle Jagoda explain how using three key kitchen zones helps reduce stress and mess.

Refrigerator Zone

Ideally, the refrigerator is at an entry to the kitchen with counter space on either side or in front of it.

This week, Sam and the Schloegel team began finishing flooring, began work on finishing the new half bathroom, and began painting.

The team began by sanding down the new and previously existing hardwood floors, giving them a nice, consistent grain and texture across the entire floor.

This week was all about the cabinets! After Sam discovered an existing problem with the gas system and got it fixed for the homeowners,  Joe and Eric joined the project and helped him begin the cabinet install.

Week 3

What a difference some new sheetrock can make! This week, the project began to really take form as we finished hanging and patching drywall, replaced trim and crown molding, and even began installation of the mantle and shelves around the fireplace.

Week 2

This week the Schloegel team completed the final portions of demolition, including cleaning the now exposed fireplace. After receiving a lumber shipment early in the week, the team began framing in some of the additions to the kitchen.

Every opportunity we get, we like to share a project we are working on to give you an inside view of what it is like working with Schloegel’s expert design and contracting team. Over the next few weeks, we’ll check in on our clients Brook and Chad as we help them build their dream kitchen in their home in Prairie Village.
