Here at Carlisle we work with a majority of clients who are choosing to redesign their homes rather than build new ones but with the desire of making spaces better and more functional.  Kitchens have become one of the most important rooms in a home, so alot of emphasis is placed on how they work and look.  Many times clients think they need all new cabinets or appliances or big additions to make their home better.  But as this Cheyenne, Wyoming home shows us that is not the case. 

That is why we are inspired by this project and bring you 10 Ways to Redesign your Kitchen Space (addition not necessary).

The Farm Table Restaurant at Kringle Candle recently underwent some beautiful renovations, but not at the expense of maintaining the historical accuracy of the 200-year old Colonial home in Bernardston, MA where it lives. It supports a farm-to-table lifestyle, reverence for history, “honest nourishment for the body and elegant respite for the soul.”
