Kitchens & Baths That Sell
May 2, 2025
CK Renovation Studio (CK Atelier de Rénovation)

In this transformative episode of CK Confidential, Michael Killian and Justin Ceeko—co-founders of CK Atelier de Rénovation—turn their attention to the soul of the home: kitchens and bathrooms.

With their signature blend of warmth and refinement, Michael and Justin explore why these two spaces carry the greatest emotional and financial weight in any renovation. From design potential to resale impact, they reveal how a well-done kitchen or bath doesn’t just improve a home—it elevates the entire experience of living in it.

Through the lens of CK’s four guiding pillars, this episode offers a masterclass in value-driven design:

🏡 BUYING
Why kitchens and bathrooms can make or break a purchase—and how savvy buyers use these rooms to evaluate a home’s potential.

🛠️ RENOVATING
Hear how CK creates flow, function, and five-star finishes without overbuilding. Learn their go-to upgrades: statement lighting, floating vanities, integrated appliances, and spa-inspired layouts.

🎨 DESIGNING
Discover how these once-utilitarian spaces have become sanctuaries. Michael and Justin share layout philosophies, finish pairings, and how to layer lighting, storage, and warmth for both beauty and utility.

💰 SELLING
Find out why investing in the right updates can deliver the highest ROI in the industry—and how even modest changes (like new hardware or backsplash) can turn hesitation into high offers.

You’ll also get insider tips, including:

✨ What makes a bathroom emotionally resonant and resale-ready
 ✨ How CK reshapes even cramped kitchens into open, luxurious gathering spaces
 ✨ Why timeless finishes always beat trends
 ✨ Their personal favorite features for client wow-factor (hello, wall-mounted faucets and champagne bronze fixtures)

This episode is more than a renovation playbook—it’s a celebration of everyday luxury. Whether you're staying or selling, CK shows how intentional updates in these key spaces can enhance life and investment alike.
