Coastal First Floor Remodel
Like many young couples in the midst of relocating, Sara and Matt spent some time living with parents. While they moved from Pittsburgh to be closer to their families, living with his parents permanently was never a part of the plan. It was simply a segue to finding their own forever home where they could start a family.
In 2012 they bought their home in Gilbertsville for its location and “potential.” They did not buy the house for aesthetics, Sara explained, but with a large yard and five bedrooms, the house offered plenty of room. The wallpaper that stretched across many of the sizable rooms, however, had to go.
After living there for five years, however, they decided they were ready for a major change. With their children more independent and their finances secure, they felt like they were in a good position to take on a remodel.
Chris and the COCOON team listened. They incorporated not just her wishlist into the design, but also their ideas about how the first floor didn’t work for them. Originally, Sara and Matt simply wanted a remodeled kitchen and new flooring on the entire first floor. After speaking with Chris and the COCOON team, they decided to create not just a beautiful kitchen, but a more functional first floor. “I never would have thought in a million years what [they] thought to do with it,” Sara exclaimed.
Whether you’re in the midst of a remodel or just considering one, Sara encouraged all homeowners to be involved in the process. “Don’t be afraid to tell somebody to change something if it’s not what you expected. Don’t let something go.” She continued, “It is your home. They are there to help you.”
