This couple was hoping to bring their house back up to date, brighten up the space, and give it a classic style to last a lifetime. They knew they wanted high end finishes and were okay with the cost that came with that. The kitchen was the center of the home, but was laid out oddly with a half wall and a load bearing post dictating layout. By removing the load bearing post and recessing a beam into the ceiling we were able to open up the layout of the kitchen. New white double stacked cabinetry was installed with a beautiful quarter sawn white oak island. The quartz countertops run up the backsplash and wood accents are brought up onto the hood and on the back of the glass cabinets. The adjacent dining room and formal living room had a standard doorway to enter from the kitchen and was dark and heavy with wallpaper and trim work. We gutted the space, widened the doorway, added more lighting, and installed wainscoting to keep the room classic and formal, while adding detail. We removed all the different flooring throughout and new red oak hardwood flooring was toothed in and refinished. The built ins in the main living room area had new cabinetry installed to match existing built-ins, and the fireplace surround was replaced with quartz that ties in with the kitchen. The bathroom downstairs now showcases a fully tiled shower as well a new fixtures, vanity, and modern wallpaper. The entryway staircase was refinished at the entryway to compliment the new style. Door hardware was replaced, crown molding was added, and windows and doors were replaced as needed.
