Question

Accepted Answer

A spacious five bedroom home, on a great block, with fabulous neighbors, were the big selling points, however, they didn’t love the kitchen or the first floor plan.  
How we worked our magic:
 - We removed the first floor guest bedroom that was tucked between the kitchen and garage, and created a spacious mudroom and breakfast nook with a custom banquette
 - Painted the existing cabinets white
 - Replaced  the cabinet and interior door hardware
 - Designed a new island 
 - Designed and built a  homework desk that also doubles as a large pantry
 - Replaced and installed new quartz countertops
 - Installed a beautiful subtle damask Spanish porcelain backsplash
 - Updated the lighting
 - Removed the existing tile and carpet floors in the kitchen, and replaced it with matching hardwood that matches the rest of the home
 - Added  windows to take advantage of their neighbor-less backyard and the fact that their home backs up to a gorgeous park
Furniture, a family room rug, custom ottoman and art selections reflect our client’s bustling, casual entertaining lifestyle.
