This is part of a whole home remodel we completed and featured in the Home Builder's Association Showcase of Remodeled Homes. The tile flooring in the kitchen and dining room was removed and matching Brazillian Cherry wood flooring was tied into the existing. The flooring around the fireplace was also removed and replaced with tile that was used throughout the house, Galvano Charcoal porcelain tile, cut to 4"x12" and laid in a brick pattern. The fireplace was stripped down and rebuilt with Boral Ledge Platinum ledgestone and the hearth was rebuilt as a poured polished concrete in a light grey. The whole kitchen was taken down to nothing and rebuilt with Ikea Ramsjo cabinetry, Bianco Antiquo granite counters from Nature's Edge Stone Products, a butcher block counter for the upper edge of the island resting on a new half wall that was finished with white washed veneered plywood and trim to match the cabinets. New lighting and fans were selected by the homeowner from West Elm and Home Depot and the walls have all been painted Cobblestone or Painter's White. The ceiling texture was stripped and sanded and repainted white. The trim was one of the only things that was reused from the existing home, due to budget restrictions. Photo by Laura Cavendish
