This busy family of five have a beautiful home, but the walled-in Kitchen and little-used separate formal Dining Room made the spaces feel cramped and closed-in. Our clients were ready to completely change things up by removing the walls that created a physical separation of space on the Main Level and create a truly open concept!

The home also has a great backyard with a pool, but an open porch off the Kitchen provided little usable functional space. We enclosed the porch and refinished it to create the perfect multi-purpose Pantry. It now has tons of built-in bench storage for pool equipment, a second refrigerator, cabinetry storage, shelving and, most importantly, a cosy place for beds under the countertop for their beloved dogs!

Every remodel tells a story but this one is particularly meaningful to us. This project was mid-way through construction when the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. Construction is considered an essential business service in Virginia and, despite the lockdown, we were able to safely complete the remodel on budget and ahead of schedule for our client who is a healthcare professional. Creating beautiful spaces for her to come home to was an honor.
