Home Appeal - Family M: Before and After Pictures

So, I have been wanting to start a blog for a few years and decided--this is the year!  Here goes!  It will be full of pictures and notations meant for your use and to encourage and inspire your home.  Enjoy!

Family M
This family has a beautiful ranch home that is lacking space in a galley kitchen.  The heart of the home.  Below are the before and after pictures for you to see and appreciate.

Before

None of the structure of the outside walls, doors or windows changed.  An inner wall (housing stairs which was moved to the front of the home) was made wider by 4ft and as you can see by the after pictures it made all the difference.

After 

Before 

 Everything was gutted from this room and installation, new plumbing, new floor, new windows, doors and recessed lighting was added.

 The final finished kitchen.  Beautiful finishes and a dark paint to highlight the cabinets and lighter floors.  Plenty of natural light and lighter finishes made this a plus.  A beautiful marble was added to a table top, lovely addition and coupled as an island for all the big pizza parties (entertaining) and candy making that the homeowner loves.

Before

               

 It's important to have a designer/contractor you can trust in this process.  - Almost done!

                             


After - The refrigerator is housed behind the cabinet panels and a double oven is added.  The top oven doubles as a microwave, making great use of space.  By adding the side cabinets at an angle we were able to get this homeowner more space than they thought they would!

         

The storm door has a honeycomb shade that was reversed and added to the bottom of the door for complete climate block and privacy control when you need it.
