Oakview Place Kitchen

This retired couple wanted a space that better met their needs for cooking, entertaining family, and just enjoying their time together. To achieve the desired result we tweaked the room’s layout, replaced their failing builder-grade cabinets with custom painted ones, and improved the lighting.
Project Year: 2015
Project Cost: $25,001 - $50,000
Country: United States
