Schrader and Co. is proud to present this Custom Kitchen—an elegant, expertly crafted space in Ballston Spa, New York that reflects our passion for timeless design and superior craftsmanship.
Designed for passionate home cooks and avid entertainers, this kitchen renovation in Ballston Spa, NY was all about creating a space that feels open, functional, and beautiful. The original kitchen layout didn’t offer enough prep space or flow, so we reimagined the footprint with strategic updates that make a big impact.
The original kitchen had great bones—a large footprint that just needed to be re-imagined for today’s lifestyle. Our team relocated the washer and dryer from the basement to the kitchen, building custom cabinetry that discreetly hides the appliances while adding valuable storage. A generous island and peninsula provide ample workspace, perfect for preparing meals, gathering with family, or sharing a glass of wine with friends.
AFTER
BEFORE
The most notable layout change involved removing the existing sink placement to allow for a long, uninterrupted counter workspace—perfect for cooking prep, serving guests, or everyday use. A newly redesigned peninsula extends the kitchen’s usable space, offering extra seating and incorporating a hidden pullout cabinet for smart, space-saving storage.
A standout piece is the handcrafted walnut coffee hutch—a client favorite—featuring flipper doors, integrated lighting, and a glass-front display cabinet. It adds warmth and character to the space while serving a practical everyday purpose.
The design palette is clean and bright, with crisp white quartz countertops, white cabinetry, and a coordinating tile backsplash. These finishes contrast beautifully with the rich walnut accents, striking the perfect balance between modern and warm.
For years, whenever I visited other people’s homes, I found myself wishing I had a space like theirs. Now I do — and I couldn’t be prouder.
