Front Door + Living RoomRounded Archways and the Craftsman wood detailing are big features in this home. All architectural details will be kept, reinforced and restored. Kitchen Makeover: Kitchen will be Farmhouse with a touch of Shaker Industrial. European exposed open shelving will be combined with base cabinets topped with soapstone. We are going to create an open space by removing a wall and adding a split counter top with bar seating and industrial pendant lights. Upstairs Bathroom Makeover:The Bathroom will be designed with Carerra marble and a seamless glass shower. Completing the space will be a Mid-Century media cabinet converted to a vanity topped with a trough sink. Upstairs Bedrooms:Freaky built-ins drawers were removed in order to make room to remove the ceiling joists and cathedral the ceiling downstairs. Reclaiming Space:The brown door concealed stairs going to the attic. They will be replaced with pull down stairs to give the bedroom on the left some breathing room.
