Kitchen and Living Room Makeover
Click to view Gallery »
The owners not surprisingly wanted to update their old kitchen as well as create more usable space. Refined oak hardwood flooring was installed in both rooms and refinished in other areas (including the upstairs). New plumbing allowed for adding a dishwasher and venting and installing a new exhaust system brings added comfort. New cabinetry and drawers are complemented by a pretty glass mosaic tile back splash, which is reflected in the new fireplace face. Natural and enhanced lighting enhances the atmosphere via many windows — pot lights and chic pendant lights add a dash of style. Fresh paint in neutral tones truly update the space.
The new look is modern, bright, and there’s plenty of storage and shelving.
