KBF recently completed remodeling this dreamy Maitland lake house, opening up the floor plan to create a welcoming and airy feel. Not a surface of the main living area went untouched, including flooring, ceilings, windows, and everything in between in the kitchen, living room, den, dining room and powder room.

Walking through the front door, the original floor plan led to the sunken living room that was mostly closed off from the rest of the house. We opened up the walls so that the living room, dining room and kitchen are all within sight upon entry to the home. We lightened the original wood ceiling by painting it white, and we matched this ceiling to continue it into the newly-opened kitchen. We also added dark wood beams to the ceiling to add to the "lake house feel" of the space. New wood flooring and neutral gray paint in all the rooms add to the feeling of expansiveness in this home.
The former sitting area in the kitchen became the dining room, perfectly situated between the sunken living room and the kitchen. The transitional light fixture with Edison bulbs anchors the space, and the trio of arched cathedral mirrors over the buffet reflect the lake outside the bank of windows on the opposite wall.
