This 1970’s home had all of the classic features from that time period, including avocado green wall-to-wall carpeting, dark kitchen cabinets, burnt-orange kitchen tiles and a dropped kitchen ceiling with fluorescent lights. Aside from the obvious much-needed finish updates, our clients wanted to maximize the function of the first floor spaces and allow for better flow between the kitchen and the adjoining rooms. Reconfiguring the space without blasting out all of the walls required some out-of-the box thinking to transform this inefficient and dark main floor into a functional and beautiful home.
