Condo Remodel

Here’s a before and after which shows the dramatic difference that lighting and finishes can make in the warmth and mood of a room. Enjoy!

This kitchen started out drab and dated.  The stark white of the ceiling contrasts too much with the yellow of the walls and draws attention to the short cabinets.  The lighting is too typical.

This kitchen became an entirely new room with several major changes.  The cabinets were replaced with a dark finish and taken all the way to the ceiling, adding major drama and height.  The boring tile countertops were replaced with luxurious granite. A furniture-like island in the middle makes the room seem cozy and provides a great workspace.  Recessed lighting, a neutral color that mimics the walls, and simple light fixtures create a warm light.

Another great detail is the slate landing before the front door; it’s beautiful and practical as is stands up to the traffic of coming and going far better than hardwood.
