This project is the home of Arlene Ladegaard, award winning interior designer and owner of Design Connection, Inc., with more than 4 decades of design experience. After living in her large home for more than 20 years, Arlene and her husband Ed downsized to a zero entry home in a community that offers a low-maintenance and leisurely lifestyle. 

The builder’s model kitchen had a small island and lacked cabinet space. Arlene remodeled the space, adding custom cabinetry, a large island with custom storage, 30-inch, soft-close drawers and large-scale pendant lighting. 

Design Connection, Inc. provided kitchen design and layout, space planning, AutoCAD drawings and elevations, countertops, cabinetry, appliance selection, lighting fixtures, electrical, painting, barstools, installation of all materials and project management.
