Case Study

An Elegant French Country Kitchen Transformation in Pleasant Prairie Built Around a 7-Foot Island

How DreamMaker designed a stunning blue and white French Country kitchen for a grandmother who wanted a 'WOW' factor, a walk-in pantry, and an island big enough for all the grandkids to bake, craft, and cook together.

Project Overview

A Kitchen Designed to Create the WOW Factor - and Room for Every Grandchild.

This Pleasant Prairie homeowner had a specific vision: an elegant French Country kitchen in classic blue and white, designed to showcase her crystal collection and her whimsical silverware chandelier – and anchored by an island large enough for all the grandkids to cook, bake, and craft together. The original kitchen had an island not proportional to the space and materials that dated back to the 1980s. This was a repeat client who had trusted DreamMaker with a bathroom remodel, and knew exactly who to call for the kitchen.

About The Neighborhood

Pleasant Prairie is one of Southeastern Wisconsin’s most sought-after communities — a vibrant, family-friendly village with beautiful homes, tree-lined neighborhoods, and an easy pace that belies its proximity to the booming Chicago and Milwaukee business corridors.

The Challenge

What Wasn’t Working

Before the remodel, the space faced several challenges:

An island not proportional to the room - neither functional nor visually appropriate
Materials and finishes dating back to the 1980s throughout
No meaningful pantry storage for a kitchen that hosts this level of activity
No dedicated display space for the homeowner's crystal collection
A kitchen that didn't match the elegant, personality-rich vision the homeowner had always wanted

Like many homes in Cave Springs, the master bath retained its original footprint — creating real functional limitations for a busy household and making what should be a personal retreat feel like an afterthought.

BEFORE:

“Working with DreamMaker again was a natural choice. They understood our vision completely and delivered a kitchen that exceeds everything we imagined. The island, the pantry, the crystal display – every detail is exactly right.”

The Solution

Built Around a 7-Foot Island With Four Distinct Sides.

To solve the bathroom’s layout and style challenges, DreamMaker redesigned the master bath with improved flow, custom storage, natural light, and a clean modern finish. Removing the unused Jacuzzi unlocked the footprint entirely, custom cabinetry made every inch purposeful, and thoughtful material choices brought the spa-like atmosphere the homeowners had always wanted.

Key Improvements included:

7-foot x 7-foot island designed with a specific function on each side: crystal display, beverage center, sink and cleaning, and storage and work surface
Classic blue and white Showplace Cabinetry bringing the French Country vision to life
Whimsical silverware chandelier incorporated as a design focal point
Laundry room closet footprint added to the kitchen pantry to double its space and create a walk-in
Specific cabinet details designed to showcase the homeowner's crystal collection
