West + Main Agent Ashley Busch
“When my husband Drake and I purchased our home we knew that the kitchen would need to be remodeled. ”
"It was dark and dated and desperately needed a refresh. We started the process by hiring a designer. I think we have great taste but I wanted to ensure that if we're spending this much money, it should be perfect. We met with Christine at HouseHome and explained to her what we were looking for. I'm originally from Alabama and moved to New Mexico for over a decade so I wanted to incorporate many aspects from the South as well as the Southwest. Christine created a design board (South Meets West) and after seeing her renderings we knew we had made the right decision. Next we hired our friends Casey and Libby Grimes at Grimes Home Concepts to be the general contractors for the project. They met with us as well as Christine multiple times prior to beginning the project. They were detailed and organized from the beginning and unlike many other contractors, their timeline was spot on. The entire project took 2.5 months and they were at our home every day ensuring that everything went as planned. We moved the laundry room to the basement and removed the formal dining room altogether to extend the kitchen the entire length of the house."

“It turned out exactly how we imagined and we couldn't be happier with the results. The kitchen is an absolute dream and I wouldn't change a single thing. My favorite thing(s) are the arched bar, the appliance garage, the drop zone where our kids can hide all their things (it even includes outlets inside for charging their electronics) and the built-in icemaker has been key for hosting! Oh and Drake’s favorite thing is the toe kick lighting!”
