The heart of this Dallas, TX home remodel is now alive again.  This home was originally built in 1964 and featured a choppy layout with narrow galley kitchen.  The homeowners wanted an open space to entertain and be proud in their home they just purchased.  Our designers completely removed the wall separating the kitchen and living and relocated a doorway into a bedroom and the pantry.  We vaulted the ceiling and took out the boxy soffits.  We were even able to add a closet into the bedroom where one did not exist!  The kitchen walls were lined with Quality Cabinets in a shaker style from the Hancock 2 line in the Café color.  We put in a large center island with seating for 6 and topped the cabinets with durable Cambria Williston countertops.  The winter taupe backsplash provides the perfect backdrop for the chef’s range, vent hood and new stainless appliances throughout.  A new serving area with seedy glass doors adds decorative storage.  The heavy stone was removed from the fireplace and remodeled with simple painted brick and stained mantle for an understated updated look.  New light stained hardwood floors were run throughout the space.  The entry from the dining into the living room was enlarged along with the flow to the secondary bedrooms of the home.  The homeowners can’t believe that this is the same space they bought and love the warmth and function of their new living and kitchen spaces.
