This Franklin Park two story family home needed some extra space. A new second story addition was added on top of the preexisting first floor sunroom. On the second story a balcony porch was added to create access outside. New beautiful blue siding was added to the second story all the way around. Inside new flooring and paint has been added to the rooms through out. The staircase was updated with new wood tread and risers and new wood railings.

In choosing modular cooktop units over a full range, Franklin was able to keep the open galley kitchen streamlined in appearance and gain storage space to boot. The commercial grade components sport strong down draft units beneath the burners to eliminate cooking odors, which is a major consideration when designing an open concept space. One of the highlights of the work area is the gleaming stainless backsplash that Franklin designed. "I simply had a large piece of stainless steel bent into shape and attached with industrial grade adhesive," he explains. "Big look, inexpensive price!" The integrated shelf keeps necessities close at hand for easy access during cooking. Cooktop Units: GE Monogram (commercial) Adrienne DeRosa Photography
