Kitchen Intervention
Jess and Jonathan Nahon of Sugarhouse chose the Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse kitchen as their starting point.
“It was the room we responded to, the one we felt needed us most”
25-Day Build Challenge
The homeowner had to approve permanent changes before a 25-day build kicked off.
Ceiling Camouflage
Sugarhouse used faux beams and House of Hackney wallpaper to hide three different ceiling heights.
Dining Room Definition
They added a partial wall with arched opening to give the dining room a logical stopping point.
“Honestly, the space felt like a hallway”
Kitchen Island Upgrade
Sugarhouse wrapped existing kitchen island base with new wood, added legs and a countertop for social space.
“Maximizing the storage prevented people from really congregating”
Fridge Vinyl Wrap
They covered the stainless fridge with a color-matched printed vinyl wrap called a 'giant sticker'.
“It’s a giant sticker!”
Stone Backsplash
Sugarhouse swapped gray marble counters for Artistic Tile’s Melange stone with pinks and creams.
“Because that marble has such personality, we had to find something that matched that level of theatrics”
Hood Finish
They boxed in the existing hood and finished with Midas Metall powder coating for a custom look.
Floor Choice
The homeowner rejected floor replacement, which later improved the space with darker walls and warmer lighting.
“Everybody thought we swapped out the floors anyway”
The takeaway
Sugarhouse designers completed a Brooklyn Heights kitchen renovation in 25 days with faux beams and a vinyl fridge wrap.
