The first step is demolition - Here is the Kitchen in the process of being taken down to the bare walls. The new design will improve the floorplan, add all NEW APPLIANCES, add Recessed LIGHTING, add TILE FLOOR, and best of all the NEW CABINETS and COUNTERS will nearly DOUBLE original space.

The transformation is starting with the installation of Oak tone Cabinets. Gone is the single 40-watt ceiling light fixture - replaced by a well-placed series of recessed lights. One previously "blank" wall will now have wall and floor cabinets as well -- it will be the ideal place to organize recipes, homework... you decide.

Just to the right, but out of view in this photo, is the door to a wonderful, large backyard. Spring is coming - what a great place to play while dinner is cooking.

The original bathroom fixtures are gone -- but not missed. In their place everything is fresh, neutral and well planned. Ceramic floor tile is being added in place of the self-adhesive vinyl squares.

The basement will have loads of room and is also enjoying a full renovation. Here, old walls have been removed and new framing to better use the space is installed. Above grade windows provide light and can be opened to provide fresh air. New carpeting is ordered to make this Family Room the place everyone wants to be.

Another view of basement framing. In addition to the large main Family Room, there are 2 rooms perfect for a home office, practicing the drums, or sewing studio.

Like the Kitchen, a generous number of Recessed Lights are used. Gone are the days of florescent lights and suspended ceiling tiles. This Family Room ROCKS !
