Kowalske’s European Modern Kitchen remodel in Oconomowoc, WI is featured in MKE Lifestyle Magazine. We are thrilled to see this kitchen remodel in the spotlight! Read on to see how we reimagined this outdated kitchen. The Oconomowoc family wanted to update their dark, dated 1990s kitchen into a bright, family-friendly space with strong connections to the surrounding wooded landscape.

Kitchen Upgrade
When asked about the vision for this project, Kowalske designer Stacy Wild Nelson explained:
“The current homeowner has an appreciation for more than one design style, so the new look is more eclectic. Throughout the home there are traditional and modern elements, with natural rustic organic finishes along with some touches of industrial sprinkled in.”
European Modern Kitchen
The design emphasizes natural, organic materials including a stone backsplash, white oak cabinets, and textured fluting on the island. Matte black sliding windows open to the outdoor deck. Functional upgrades such as a workstation sink overlooking the woods, hidden pop-up outlets, ample storage, and integrated pantry solutions support everyday use and entertaining. Neutral tones and materials unify the kitchen with the adjacent living areas, creating an inviting environment where the family can cook, dine and gather together.
