Trendmark Inc. - AFTER - Gold STAR Award Best Room Addition This growing family needed more space especially to entertain in the small closed off kitchen and family room, but they loved their existing house and location and didn’t want to move. They chose to add on a large breakfast/sitting area to the back of their home allowing for a much larger kitchen. Now instead of a small confined outdated kitchen, an open floor plan includes an updated kitchen and breakfast area. Large windows and recessed can lights brighten the room and showcase the back yard. With the wall remove between the family room and kitchen they have the perfect place for family gatherings and entertaining. Designer / Architect and Products Used: * Large operable window and fixed window above * French doors leading to the deck * Vaulted ceiling * Low maintenance exterior Trendmark Inc Contractor Notes In order to add the new room, a steel bear was installed to carry the load of the rear of the home. The new addition off the kitchen created the perfect view of the beautiful back yard. The large windows and vaulted ceiling allow the sun light to brighting the entire room including the kitchen and family room. The eating area and custom bench seats are perfect for morning coffee.
