We all
get a
certain
picture
in our
heads when someone says
“1940s kitchen” – that dimly
lit room which was cut off
from the rest of the house and
filled with ancient appliances.
When a family in the Old
Village in Mount Pleasant
called on Strock Enterprises to
update their kitchen, it aptly
fit that description.
“Their appliances were
old but in good condition,”
said Trey Strock, president of
Strock Enterprises. “We ac-
tually sold them to a woman
from Florida who was look-
ing for vintage appliances.”
Meanwhile, for this fam-
ily, an update was necessary
– and truly brought out the
beauty of their home. Strock
described how his team
made better use of a covered
patio the family never used
by closing it in and making
it part of the kitchen. The
back wall, facing the back-
yard, is mostly windows and
offers a view. The counter
has a curved shape for better
“flow” in the room – and
the opportunity to eat at the
bar, rather than taking up
room with a kitchen table.
Strock also emphasized the
use of local products when-
ever possible. A family in Mount Pleasant’s Old Village needed their kitchen to be updated, and,
thanks to Strock Enterprises, this was the result.
