The Story of the Warm Mist Remodel

As told by Brody, the family dog

Hi! I’m Brody, and I’m a black Labrador retriever who was rescued by my family about 4 years ago. I am my mom, Audra’s, first dog and I am very, very sweet. It wasn’t that long ago when our family decided to pull the trigger and remodel our home. The kitchen was very closed off from the living space which made the flow of the home choppy and cramped. Mom says she had very little counter space to cook and was always moving stuff around to try to make a work space to cook on. She did not enjoy cooking in our old kitchen. Other contractors told my mom and dad that we could not open the wall up, and then they told us that we would never get the old marble floor out. Well, those contractors were wrong!

Mom loves the new space now and says that this is how our home should have been built in the first place. I like it too, because now she cooks more while I supervise all stove-related activities. She really likes her new stove and says it had all of the features she wanted. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out around the kitchen, whether it is to prep for a meal or just gather. Dad uses a scooter and the wide spaces are easy for him to maneuver. I’m excited about this new space, as I even get to have a bed in the corner of the kitchen to rest on.

Mom says that she wouldn’t design anything differently! She likes the colors she chose and feels they go well with her style and the home. One of my family’s favorite things about the remodel is the charging station Hatfield’s designers thought of for all the kids tablets and phones. The devices are tucked away in the corner cabinet with plugs with pull-out trays for easy access. There is space for everything, and there are even a couple of cabinets that they haven’t filled yet. The wet bar at the back of the house was an unused eye sore and Hatfield (now Alair Homes- Plano) took it out. We got a new window and now I can see from one end of my backyard to the other, making sure that I am the first one to spot anything suspicious out there.

Thanks Hatfield (now Alair Homes- Plano) Builders for changing our house into the house it was meant to be (and getting Mom to cook more yummy treats)!
