Many homeowners consider moving when their current floorplan isn't working for them anymore. In this month's Project Spotlight, we take a look at a home's transition from a closed to open layout that resulted in providing the homeowners a sense of connection to family and friends that's perfect for everyday living and entertaining.

 

This award winning project features Craftsman style spaces including a renovated living room, dining room, kitchen, and laundry/mudroom combo.

• An open main floor ideal for entertaining and staying connected to guests while preparing food
• Craftsman or mission design features
• Each area to tied into the overall design

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upon entering the home, you were presented with a limited view into the living room and a peek into the kitchen. We opened walls and placed columns as support to create an open floor plan. Painstaking effort was made to deliver on the promise of perfect Craftsman style trim work. Without a doubt, the wood trim is the highlight of the project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The clients requested to keep their existing wall cabinets in the kitchen. Updates to the space included new lighting, countertops, the addition of an enlarged island, and the creation of a family command center made of repurposed cabinetry.

The Laundry/Mudroom

 

 

 

 

Our client's wish list included a separate laundry and mudroom, but there was barely enough for either and no options for bumping out. Our compromise was to create a laundry/mudroom combo by keeping their existing utility sink, stacking washer and dryer units, and adding a built-in for coats and other storage items.

The clients and their family are enjoying their new found togetherness. They are very happy that they decided to stay and remodel to create their “forever home.”
