About: Steve Norr

Client Comments like this make all of my hard work worth it!

"We recently renovated an entire house and we were lucky enough to find Steve at Peppertree to help us with our kitchen and bathroom cabinets. We love contemporary design and Steve helped us create our dream kitchen and designed our office, laundry, mud room and bathroom cabinets as well. This was a huge undertaking for us and he was extremely patient and reassuring throughout the entire process. If I changed my mind or second guessed myself, he was always willing to listen to my ideas, make changes or give advice. He wanted to make sure that the design was custom for our specific needs and how we were going to use each space. The customer service he and the entire team at Peppertree provided was outstanding. We felt like their most important client every time even though we knew they had clients that spend more on cabinets with them than we did on our entire home renovation! At one point we were over budget and he sat down with us and looked at creative ways we could get back to our budget without losing any functionality or sacrificing the design and look we wanted. If I had to do it all over again I would most definitely go straight to Steve at Peppertree. I highly recommend him and there entire team there. They are the best."

Our goal with this kitchen design was to create a state of the art contemporary kitchen that would be the focal point of this home with room for the family to gather and entertain.

For the base cabinetry we used textured laminate because of its durability, consistent color and the way it fosters horizontally matched grains, we paired it with high-gloss white cabinetry for a stunning look. The floating shelves break up the bulk of the cabinetry and add a contemporary flair.

This Kitchen Renovation turned out even better than we expected!

Just look at the Before picture.

When I first met this family they weren't sure if they should remove the wall that divided the kitchen from the sitting room or keep it to save on the overall cost of the project. Thankfully they agreed that the cost was worth it to have an open concept with a huge island and a wonderful Great Room.

The beautiful Mahogany Cabinets add a great deal of warmth to this room with the dark Caviar Stain and Vertical Grain. The floating shelves break things up and create a focal point around the window on the sink wall. The Oven wall features a Wolf M Series Transitional Double Oven and tons of drawer storage.

This Granite is the perfect contrast to the dark Cabinetry, the massive island has a Wolf 36" Transitional Induction Cooktop paired with a Wolf 15" Transitional Electric Cooktop and a Wolf 45 Downdraft Ventilation System with a Remote Blower. This set up gives her the capacity she needs to cook for her large family and friends.

The Refrigeration is now where the old pantry cabinets were and feature Sub Zero Integrated Columns, 30" Refer and 30" Freezer with a small pantry cabinet to the left. The additional drawers and upper cabinets more than make up for the old pantry cabinets and the cabinets on the wall that we removed.

Many thanks to Mountainlanddesign for referring this client to us and to Roth Living for all of the support you offered during the process and for your continued help with training on their new high tech appliances, and thanks to Russell & Co. Construction for removing the wall and doing everything else that was necessary to make this kitchen renovation happen.
