Springstone Reimagined Kitchen Reveal
Description
What began as a kitchen remodel, in the Cambridge neighborhood of Fishers, IN, evolved into a full first-floor transformation that truly redefined how this home lives and feels. The Springstone project was born from a desire to create an elevated, functional space with more flow, light, and intention. What they received was a bespoke design-build experience where every inch was carefully considered, from the spatial layout to the smallest finish detail.
At the heart of this renovation is the kitchen: a stunning centerpiece that balances warmth and elegance. To bring this vision to life, we removed walls and reconfigured the entire main living space to allow for better movement and connection between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. This semi open-concept layout not only made the home feel significantly larger, but also encouraged togetherness and improved natural light throughout.
A standout design feature is the custom, hand-troweled plaster vent hood. Framed within a softly curved alcove, this unique architectural detail gives the range wall depth and a sculptural quality that feels both modern and timeless. The accompanying slab backsplash in a soft, veined marble tone adds sophistication without overwhelming the space, and its smooth finish enhances the sense of seamless luxury.
Cabinetry was another opportunity for personalization and function. We used a mix of painted and natural wood cabinetry, designed in-house and built by trusted artisans, to create warmth and contrast. The oversized island, now serves as both a prep station and a casual dining space. It anchors the entire first floor, inviting family and friends to gather around its generous surface.
Functionality was woven into every detail. We integrated hidden and enhanced outlets throughout the kitchen and surrounding rooms, ensuring modern convenience without interrupting the clean aesthetic. Subtle details like seamless cabinetry panels keep the visual clutter low while maximizing usability.
Lighting played a key role in the transformation. Statement globe pendants above the island bring just the right amount of glam, complemented by brass fixtures and hardware throughout that add warmth and refinement. Layered lighting, recessed cans, sconces, and task lighting, ensures the space adapts beautifully from day to night.
But this project didn’t stop at the kitchen. Once walls came down and the layout was opened, it became clear that the surrounding spaces needed to match the same level of intention and beauty. We updated adjacent rooms with cohesive flooring, matching trim details, and transitional design elements that create a harmonious flow throughout the first floor. The result is a sophisticated, yet livable home that reflects our clients' taste and supports their daily life.
The Springstone project exemplifies what’s possible when thoughtful design meets skilled craftsmanship. It’s more than just a renovation...it’s a reimagining of how a home can serve, inspire, and evolve with the people who live in it. From the custom finishes to the invisible conveniences, every element was intentionally selected to deliver beauty, comfort, and lasting value.
This is the power of whole-home thinking. This is what we do at Nicholas Design Build.
