Lightened Up

A family’s dark and overflowing kitchen, complete with peninsula, oak cabinetry and pantry in the dining room was enlightened with a new floor plan and light stone. A kitchen pantry entrance, new island and storage maximization opened this space, yet preserved its charm and readied it for gourmet cooking. Surrounding spaces were stylishly updated to add function and harmonize with the new floor plan, natural stone and an island for this family of four.
