Long working island
The island combines a sink, broad preparation surface, storage, and seating-facing circulation.

Open-concept kitchen project profile for Fox Lake homeowners
Four gallery views show one coordinated white kitchen with a long island, full-height storage, veined counters, lighting, and warm flooring. We use that visible evidence to build a realistic Fox Lake planning profile without inventing a homeowner’s private price or schedule.

Evidence boundary:
The photographs are real completed work already published by Master Craft & Design and grouped here by continuous materials and room geometry. The photographed home’s address, contract amount, exact product brands, and actual construction dates are not published. Cost and duration are estimates for a comparable Fox Lake-area scope—not claims about this homeowner’s invoice or schedule.
Visible project evidence
What the photographs support
These are observations from the finished room, not guesses about concealed work.
Full-height white cabinetry
Shaker-style doors, dark hardware, glass display cabinets, and fitted storage form a coordinated cabinet package.
Connected finish work
Veined counters, backsplash transitions, warm flooring, trim, pendants, recessed lighting, and dining lighting read as one scope.
Open room relationship
The photographs show the finished kitchen connected to dining and living areas, but they do not prove that a wall was removed.
One continuous photo group
White cabinetry, long island, and connected gathering space
Matching cabinets, counters, floor, lighting, and sightlines show these views belong to the same completed room.
Inferred comparable scope
How the estimate was built
Each line connects a visible finish or room feature to the work a comparable proposal should resolve.
| Scope component | Visible evidence | Comparable estimate implication |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinetry and storage | Full cabinet package, tall storage, glass-front display, island cabinetry, and finished panels. | Cabinet quantity, construction level, hardware, installation, and trim can place the project above a surface-only update. |
| Island and surfaces | Long island with sink plus strongly veined light counters across the working runs. | Large slabs, seams, edge details, sink cutout, support, and plumbing coordination affect price and lead time. |
| Lighting and electrical | Island pendants, recessed lighting, and connected dining fixtures. | A comparable proposal should identify new fixtures, switching, circuits, patching, and inspection assumptions. |
| Flooring and finish | Continuous warm flooring, backsplash transitions, paint, trim, and final cabinet detailing. | Connected-room flooring and finish boundaries can broaden the scope beyond the cabinet footprint. |
Cost and timeline logic
$50,000–$80,000+ and 8–12 weeks
Planning numbers should explain their assumptions instead of presenting false precision.
Why this cost band fits
The completed room shows a full cabinetry package, long island, substantial stone surface area, coordinated lighting, plumbing at the island, flooring, and finish work. Those visible elements support a complete-to-custom kitchen band rather than a focused refresh.
Why this timeline fits
Eight to twelve active-construction weeks is a responsible comparable estimate when demolition, cabinet installation, surfaces, plumbing, electrical, flooring, trim, and punch work are coordinated. Design, selections, ordering, permit review, and long-lead products occur before that window.
Range limits: The estimate does not assume structural wall removal, exact cabinet construction, exact stone type, appliance purchases, concealed repair, design fees, or unusual permit requirements. Any of those can move the total or schedule.
Fox Lake project planning
How this profile helps define a local proposal
For a similar Fox Lake home, the proposal should state whether walls and utility locations stay, whether flooring continues into adjacent rooms, and which plumbing, electrical, mechanical, or structural work belongs in the permitted scope.

Clear answers
Questions about this project profile
Was this kitchen completed in Fox Lake?
The photographs are confirmed Master Craft & Design project images, but the project address is not published. Fox Lake is the local planning context used for a comparable scope.
Did this project actually cost $50,000–$80,000+?
That amount is a market planning estimate based on the visible completed scope. It is not presented as the homeowner’s invoice or Master Craft & Design’s historical contract amount.
Does the eight-to-twelve-week estimate include cabinet ordering?
No. It describes a typical active-construction window after the scope, selections, material readiness, and applicable permit steps are resolved.
Sources and methodology
Real photography, transparent estimates
The visible scope comes from Master Craft & Design’s existing project gallery. The planning band is checked against the site’s room-specific ranges and the current available Chicago-market benchmark. Neither source replaces a home-specific proposal.
- Master Craft & Design open-concept kitchen gallery — source photo group.
- JLC 2025 Cost vs. Value Report: Chicago — broad market benchmark, not company pricing.
- Village of Fox Lake permit information — current local starting point for project-specific permit questions.
