Looking to add real value to your kitchen? Start with the features that improve the way you live every day.

✓ Improve the layout. A kitchen that flows well will always be more valuable than one with the trendiest finishes.

✓ Invest in quality cabinetry. Custom and semi-custom storage solutions maximize functionality and create a lasting impression.

✓ Upgrade lighting. Layered lighting, including ambient and decorative fixtures, can completely transform how a kitchen looks and feels.

This Wauwatosa renovation incorporates all three, pairing a thoughtful floor plan with warm oak cabinetry and carefully selected lighting to create a space that is both beautiful and highly functional.

The best kitchen upgrades aren't just about resale value, they're about making your home better for you for years to come.

Because great renovations don't erase history, they build upon it!

When renovating Milwaukee's historic homes, it's often the original elements that give a space its soul. While replacing a vintage light fixture may be easier, Story Hill Renovations owner Jack believes some pieces are worth saving.

From carefully cleaning decades of wear to coordinating rewiring and restoration, preserving these fixtures takes extra time and effort. But it's a small investment that honors the craftsmanship of the past and helps maintain the character that makes these homes so special.

The Taj Mahal quartzite backsplash sets the tone for the entire kitchen, introducing warmth, texture, and understated luxury from the moment you enter the space. Its soft veining and creamy tones create a timeless foundation that ties every design element together.

Searching for a timeless kitchen style? You don’t have to choose between being a silver girl or a gold girl… why not be both?

Mixing metals is one of the easiest ways to create a kitchen that feels layered, collected, and timeless. The key is balance. Warm wood tones, polished nickel hardware, and thoughtfully selected finishes work together to add depth and character without feeling overly coordinated.

The most beautiful kitchens aren’t about matching everything perfectly, they’re about creating harmony through contrast!

Looking for finished basement ideas that work for the whole family?

This cozy kids' nook started as a boring under-the-stairs closet. Rather than hiding the space behind a door, we transformed it into a playful feature with custom floating shelves, integrated lighting, and storage baskets for toys, books, and games.

Shave this post for inspiration!

Would a custom range hood elevate your kitchen design?

We think so. From a custom-built framework to a stunning plaster statement piece, this range hood brings character, architectural interest, and a sense of craftsmanship that instantly elevates the entire space. More than just a functional feature, it serves as a focal point that helps transform a kitchen from standard to truly custom.

One of our favorite details in this pantry was the vintage light fixture. Its warm glow and textured glass bring so much character to the space, while the grasscloth wallcovering adds depth and richness to the small space.

As part of this renovation, we updated the adjacent powder room and refinished the first-floor doors, including the front door, to create a more cohesive look throughout the home. Tackling a kitchen and bathroom renovation at the same time can be one of the most cost-effective ways to renovate, helping streamline construction, reduce duplicate labor costs, and create a more unified design.
