Gail Drury, CMKBD President and Studio Director

Whats Hot: Multi-Room Remodels Here at Drury Design, were seeing more and more clients choose to do a multi-room remodel that spills out of the kitchen around the first floor, out to the family room or up to the master bedroom. Why are homeowners becoming more ambitious with their home remodeling plans? Expanding the projects scope beyond one room allows them to recreate a space with a new design that fits their family and their lifestyle preferences. Perhaps they built the home when their children were small, maybe they purchased their home from another family, or they just want to add more space and modern conveniences now lacking in the kitchen and surrounding rooms. Whatever their motivation, each client finds many reasons to revitalize their home with a signature Drury design that elevates the homes function, livability and presence.

IN STUDIO - THE MODERN TRANSITIONAL KITCHEN

New in the Studio: The Modern Transitional Kitchen

location: Glen Ellyn Studio designer: Drury Design Team project: Kitchen Solutions: Looking out of a southeast window that anchors the northwest corner of downtown Glen Ellyn, this new display refreshes the original European transitional look. As one of the most prominent windows on Main Street, we wanted to create a design that commands attention from the street and inside the studio. To achieve this goal, we included special touches inspired by the Drurys recent trip to Italy. The cabinetry and surfaces reflect a modern transitional design that is timeless, yet comfortable in a traditional home. We really believe that while not for everyone, this design represents the current trend of blending the best of both traditional and contemporary design elements to create a fresh look and ambiance. Gail Drury, CMKBD.

location: Hinsdale, Illinois designer: Gail Drury project: Kitchen, Banquette, Butlers Pantry Solutions: Tiny and compact, the original kitchen did not match the scale of this sprawling suburban home. After working through many layout options, the homeowners decided to close the entrance to the walk-in-pantry in the hall. To maximize space and functionality, everything in the kitchen was rearranged. New features include a built-in banquette, a multipurpose niche, a baking center, a snack bar and a range hood as a focal point. The final design meets all of the homeowners needs and desires - and fits the scale of the home. This is now a modern and classic beauty, a home that inspires.

Gail and the Drury team are very professional and so easy to work with; I recommended them to several friends. Our banquette seating area is a great spot for our children. - Hinsdale Homeowner
