This home was purchased but not liven in yet by our client. We removed walls and natural pine cabinets and took advantage of the natural beam ceilings. We added a skylight and uplighting to brighten up the space. The cabinets appear to be a brighter color than I think they actually are. We also covered over some of the wood paneling in the Living Room create a more modern look (there can be too much wood sometimes- no need to remove or cover it all with paint though!)
