On the first floor, we removed a dividing wall to give the kitchen an open-concept feel. Then we installed fresh white IKEA cabinets, sleek stainless steel appliances, new hardwood floors, and lighting.

Unique touches, like the turquoise tile backsplash from Fireclay Tile, and built-in shelving (a perfect display for this cookbook library and wine collection), add to the charm of the home.
