We gutted the old kitchen and opened it up to the living room. We added all new wood flooring, refinishing the old and the new for a seamless transition. Other aspects of this renovation was adding a back entry from the kitchen, and brightening the space with recessed lights, pendants over the center island and sink, and inner cabinet lighting combined with under cabinet lighting. The granite counters and brick look glossy stone back splash help to reflect the beautiful lighting in this kitchen.
