The homeowners of this home love to entertain, but their old kitchen was dated and a little closed up for their taste. We removed the wall between the old kitchen and the living room and added a custom archway, a new island with tons of storage, new custom cabinets and tray ceiling, and new appliances. This remodel also included adding a transom window and pocket doors and updating the moldings and trim in the dining room, and constructing a new, distinct laundry room.
