Kitchen & Dining Room

Updated Summer 2019

Kitchen

Before

The kitchen, like the living room, was dark and dreary, in desperate need of an extreme makeover. We quickly demolished the entire space, ripping out everything from floor to ceiling. We replaced every inch of this space, other than the beam running across the middle of the kitchen, which was painted. It is a complete 180 from the day we first walked through it, and came out better than we could have even imagined.

After

We completely gutted this entire space and added white cabinets, hardwood floors, carrara marble countertops, white subway tile backsplash, and skimcoated the walls. We love how light and open it feels now!

Dining Room

Before

The dining room and kitchen are “open concept”- open to each other and very connected. The original dining room was long, narrow, and dark, with a door leading to the backyard in one corner. We decided to cut the space down as we didn’t need a huge dining space and create a mudroom on the door side of the room. We are so happy with our choice and love the bright, open space this room has turned into.
