"Pop!" goes the

Remodel

PROBLEMS:

  • Underwhelming front entry was rarely used.

  • Entry through back door caused traffic jams in Kitchen.

  • Odd-sized obsolete range was broken.

  • Unattractive acoustical ceilings in Living and Dining rooms.

  • Dining walled off from Kitchen.

  • Finishes needed upgrading.

​​

SOLUTIONS:

  • Roof pop-ups at Living and Dining rooms define the entry, add interior volume and light.

  • Cabinets modified to fit new standard-size range and hood.

  • Wall between Dining and Kitchen removed.

  • New drywall ceiling in Living and Dining rooms.

  • New finishes, furnishings, and lighting impart a fresh, updated feeling.
