European Flare


The owners of this 80’s home wanted an update that was welcoming to guests, yet still worked for their young family. Fitting with the colonial exterior, warm colors were used throughout. Greens, golds, reds, and caramels are complimented with natural stone accents.


Kitchen~ Before

Dark Cabinets and little counter space make the kitchen feel small.



By angling the cooktop and sink, the work area is more functional and modern.



View to Dining Room ~Before

A small doorway make the kitchen and dining room feel very separated.



View to Dining Room~ After

By taking out the wall between the kitchen and dining room, the kitchen feels spacious. With two wide counters, amd two eating areas, the house now seats 20+ people.



Dining Room Entry~ Before

Too many squares make this space seem boxy.



Entry~ After

By rounding the entry way and adding natural stone, the whole room feels new and updated.



Dining Room~ After

Art was added to compliment the space and add interest.



Open Spaces~ After

By removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room, the rooms feel larger and open.



Kitchen Nook~ Before

With only one narrow working door the access outside was limited.



Kitchen Nook~ After

Custom curtains make the space feel more comfortable and finished. The new over-sized wood slider make the space more usable for large gatherings.
