From the onset the goal of this renovation was to make the main level a place where family and friends enjoyed to gather together. A functional and high fashion kitchen, ample and comfortable seating areas, and well-styled finished spaces were the goals. The custom cabinetry is quartered red elm veneer, carrying a continuous vertical grain from floor to ceiling. It is the perfect species to complement the rich tones in the original engineered maple wood floor with subtle red hues.
